the Blackmagic Design Spares - ATEM Panel - Transition ME1 Module is the primary tactile control assembly for the first Mix Effects row on Blackmagic Advanced Panels (2 M/E, 4 M/E, and the standalone 1 M/E Advanced Panel).

This module is the "action center" of the panel. It houses the critical buttons for CUT, AUTO, and FTB (Fade to Black), along with the transition delegation buttons and the frame-rate display. Because these buttons are hit thousands of times during a live production, this module is one of the most common service items for high-use panels.


Core Responsibilities

  • Transition Execution: Manages the logic for the large CUT and AUTO buttons.

  • Layer Delegation: Allows the operator to select which layers are affected by the next transition (BKGD, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4).

  • Rate Display: Features a dedicated LED or OLED numeric display that shows the transition duration in frames.

  • T-Bar Integration: Acts as the electrical hub for the fader handle, converting the physical position of the T-Bar into digital data for the switcher.

  • Tally Feedback: Manages the red (On-Air) and amber (Next Transition) button backlighting.


When to Replace the ME1 Module

  • Button Fatigue: The AUTO or CUT buttons feel "mushy," have lost their click, or require excessive force to trigger.

  • Display Failure: The frame-rate display is missing segments, is flickering, or has gone completely dark.

  • Logic Errors: The module won't "delegate" keys (e.g., you press KEY 1 and it won't stay selected), even though the buttons on other rows work fine.

  • Fader Dead Zones: The transition stutters or "jumps" to the end when using the manual T-Bar, suggesting a data processing fault on the module board.

  • Cosmetic/Liquid Damage: As the module sits directly under the T-Bar slot, it is the most common victim of liquid spills or dust ingress.


Technical Installation Note

Repair Level: 3 (Moderate).

  1. Underside Access: You must flip the panel (on a soft surface to protect the buttons) and remove the base plate screws. The ME1 module is usually held in by 4 to 6 screws.

  2. Ribbon Interconnect: It connects to the panel's main data bus via a wide ribbon cable. Caution: Always power down the panel before unplugging. Removing this module while the panel is "live" can cause a voltage spike that damages the display logic.

  3. T-Bar Migration: In some spares configurations, the T-Bar mechanism is separate from the button PCB. You may need to unscrew the fader assembly from the old module and mount it onto the new one.

  4. Calibration: If the new module includes a new fader sensor, you must perform a Fader Calibration via the ATEM Panel’s settings menu to ensure "Top of Travel" and "Bottom of Travel" are correctly mapped to 0% and 100%.


Diagnostic: ME1 Module vs. Main PCB

  • It is the ME1 Module if: Only the transition buttons on the first M/E row are failing, but the source buttons (cross-points) and the menu screen are responsive.

  • It is the Main PCB if: The entire panel is "locked up," or if both the ME1 and ME2 (on larger panels) transition blocks fail simultaneously.


Pro-Tip: The "Sticky Button" Quick-Fix

Before ordering a full replacement module, check if the clear NKK button cap is simply catching on the metal faceplate. Over time, the aluminum faceplate can shift slightly. Loosening the mounting screws of the module and re-centering it within the faceplate cutouts can often solve "stuck" buttons without needing new hardware.

Is your AUTO button failing to trigger the transition, or is the frame-rate display simply showing garbled numbers?

Excellent separation screen
Color: Dark Black
Easy to put together. A drill with the hex head made it easier. I see some of the photos in the reviews and it looks like the fabric is wrinkled and loose. However, when we put it together, the fabric was tight and it looked polished. Using this divider to separate a recording space from the rest of the room the overall look is nice. I would not use this in a living room, but it’s fine in another room. Once put together, it is pretty sturdy. The pieces that connect the panels together are plastic. We did fold it one time when we moved it and didn’t have any issues, but it is going to remain stationary so I can’t comment on folding it more than the one time. It is very lightweight and very opaque.

JUNK!
Color: Grey
This is the worst product in every way. I ordered a similar one previously and thought I was getting the same product which was great, no this is a piece of junk. I would have gladly sent it back but I needed it. I feel sorry for anyone who tries to put this together without any mechanical ability. I have plenty and it was still a nightmare. We will surely not be purchasing anything from this company in the future. The previous one I bought was a (Kecreque Room Divider). Is is a quality product!

Nice looking and lightweight
I bought this to put in front of my basement doorway where I am missing a door. I don't like my cats in the basement and this works very well. However, because of the panels being up on 2 inch or so tiny stilts, my cats can still get through. So I have it upside down and will be putting gliders on the "bottom" of each panel. Note that it did come with gliders on the little stilts.
