Description

Blackmagic Design Spares - ATEM 2M/E Panel - Cable SetThe Blackmagic Design Spares ATEM 2 M E Panel Cable Set is a comprehensive internal wiring kit designed for the legacy 2 M E Broadcast or Advanced Panels. Because these panels are physically large, they rely on a network of internal "veins" to carry power and high speed data between the different M E rows and the central logic board. Replacing a cable set is often the final step in troubleshooting "ghost" errors that a PCB replacement didn't fix.

The Blackmagic Design Spares - ATEM 2 M/E Panel - Cable Set is a comprehensive internal wiring kit designed for the legacy 2 M/E Broadcast or Advanced Panels. Because these panels are physically large, they rely on a network of internal "veins" to carry power and high-speed data between the different M/E rows and the central logic board.

Replacing a cable set is often the final step in troubleshooting "ghost" errors that a PCB replacement didn't fix.


What’s Included in a Full Cable Set

  • High-Density Ribbon Cables: The wide, grey multi-pin cables that connect the Left and Right Section PCBs to the Center Master PCB.

  • FFC (Flexible Flat Cables): Extremely thin, paper-like cables used specifically for the LCD menu screens and "Scribble Strip" displays.

  • Power Distribution Harnesses: Heavier gauge wire looms (often color-coded red/black/yellow) that carry DC voltage from the internal power supply to the various boards.

  • Grounding Straps: Short, braided, or green-jacketed wires used to bond the various metal chassis components to prevent static buildup.


When to Replace the Cable Set

  • Intermittent "Flicker" Issues: The panel works fine until it is bumped or moved, at which point an entire bank of buttons or an LCD screen cuts out.

  • Pin Corrosion: In humid or coastal environments, the gold or tin plating on the tips of the ribbon cables can oxidize, leading to "data corruption" (garbled text on screens).

  • "Creased" or Pinched Cables: If the panel was previously opened for repair and a cable was pinched between the metal standoffs during reassembly, it can cause a partial short-circuit.

  • LCD "Lines": Vertical lines on the display are often caused by a microscopic crack in the FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) rather than a failure of the screen itself.


Technical Installation Note

Repair Level: 3 (Moderate). 1. ZIF Connector Caution: The FFC cables for the displays use ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) sockets. You must flip the tiny plastic gate "up" before inserting the cable. Forcing a cable into a locked socket will strip the silver contacts off the cable.

2. Cable Routing (Dress): Broadcast panels are packed tightly. You must follow the original "pathing" of the cables. If a cable is routed over a heat-generating component (like a voltage regulator), the insulation may eventually melt.

3. The "Click" Test: For the larger grey ribbon cables, ensure the plastic "ears" on the side of the socket click into place. A partially seated ribbon cable can cause "phantom" button presses where the switcher thinks you are hitting buttons you aren't touching.

4. Static Management: Cables act like antennas for static electricity. Always ground yourself before handling the internal looms.


Diagnostic: Cable vs. PCB

  • It's the Cable if: You can make the problem appear or disappear by gently "wiggling" the wire while the panel is powered on.

  • It's the PCB if: The problem is constant and unchanging, regardless of physical movement or cable reseating.


Pro-Tip: Reseating Before Replacing

90% of "cable failures" in ATEM panels are actually just loose connections caused by vibration during transport in a flight case. Before buying a new set:

  1. Open the panel.

  2. Unplug each ribbon cable.

  3. Clean the tips with a specialized electronic contact cleaner (like DeoxIT).

  4. Firmly reseat them.

    This simple maintenance task often fixes "dead" buttons and flickering screens for free.

Are you looking for the entire internal wiring loom, or just the specific ribbon cables for the LCD screens?

Tons of info!
Format: Paperback
If one wanted to be a real tracker, this book has everything needed. I just want to be able to recognize the local wildlife tracks. But having all the rest of the info is nice, and it's easy to take what I want. The book is well organized. Fantastic pictures, loads of information. It's interesting too, to see just how much knowledge goes into figuring out not only what animal it is, but what sex, age, gait, etc it is. This is an awesome book.

Caveats for the professional tracker
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This is a most excellent resource, arguably the best single tracking book that exists (i would argue so, if i had to pick one! And i recommend this book often). However, if you are in a professional field where this legally matters (EIS or ESA decisions on wolverine/fisher/lynx, etc.), take heed: the authors’ methods of measuring tracks are confusing (i.e. - where is the line between substrate/mammal family to determine when claws or ‘posterior’ pads are or are not used in measuring tracks? ) Also, the claim that “an individual animal can show incredible variation in track size” (p.57) is very misleading… Foot size of an individual animal from birth to adult will obviously change, but will not change in a day for the same-aged individual animal regardless of whether it walks in mud or atop rock. The animal’s foot does not change in size, but its track might appear to. This perceived “change” could be easily avoided by using minimum outline measurements (which are not discussed in this book, but can be found in the work by J. Halfpenny and others). I understand their reasons, but please do not refer to this book for legally defensible measuring techniques of rare species!!!! Also please disregard the negative reviewer who said “it’s a very Mythological Approach to how animals move and walk (jsopel),”- they clearly don’t know what that word means… All in all a well-researched and fantastic book that comes from ample and legitimate experience. A great book and happy tracking!

A must have for wildlife lovers
Format: Paperback
Wow! What an excellent and thorough compilation of scat and tracks. Nice reference for when you take pics and bring the image back to the book for comparison. Also, great information about tracking.

Good but index needs improvement
Format: Paperback
This is a good, comprehensive guide to tracks and sign. However, there is no index of where to find each family, so in order to find a species you have to flip through the entire book looking for the right page. This makes it annoying to use if you are trying to look up information on a particular species or family.

This is a very useful field manual for those interested in detailed traking methodology.
Format: Paperback
I spent many years as interpreter and ranger for the Colorado State Park System, now called CPW—Colorado Parks and Wildlife. We were annually tasked with surveying a given species' presence, density, and range in the park system and surrounding areas. Detailed field manuals were critical to the accuracy of our work, and HOW I WISH I HAD THIS BOOK DURING THAT PART OF MY CAREER. There are few other books I've come across providing detailed, yet very accessible information on how trail sign reflects animal behavior across different conditions, landscapes, and seasons (both weather seasons and mating seasons). One particular aspect of this book I found significantly intriguing was the section on predation—how does a mountain lion take down a mule deer vs. how wolves bring one down. The locations on a prey animal where a certain predator is most likely to attack, showing illustrations, is a remarkable piece of work, and there authors are clearly masters of interpreting tracks and sign! If you want learn about how mammals behave in their native environment, adding this book to your field manual packet will greatly expand your horizons! Busy it, read it, and get outside! Thank you Mr. Elbroch and Mr. McFarland for adding to the wildlife canon!
