[IEEE 802.3af] We have only used this for a couple weeks and are still discovering its full potential. But it is very well made and works like a dream. 5

[IEEE 802.3af] Ok, I just feel bad this thing only had a single 3-star review that was otherwise positive. Of course you need desk space if you're shading multiple cameras. This controller is solidly built and well thought out. The cost is way below what traditional CCUs would run you, not to mention the footprint, and the fact that you get so much control through Ethernet and either SDI or fiber is one of the things I love about the BlackMagic live ecosystem. Highly recommended. 5

[IEEE 802.3af] Hands down the best way to integrate macros. If you're coming off the laptop interface this panel will make you a better TD instantly . The button customization and labeling are super handy. one note, there is no way to save user profiles if panel gets unplugged, but its easy enough to setup 5

[4 W] This product is worth the cost. Total game changer for us 5

[4 W] The 2ME panel is fantastic. I've been switching off laptops for over 10 years and the difference of using the panel is night and day. While the panel doesn't really add any functionality over the laptops, the interface allows you to use multiple fingers on both hands at the same time resulting in a much more dynamic show. The macro layout is great. 5

[IEEE 802.3af] The solid feel of this panel, combined with the fact that it can be POE powered make this a nice professional addition to my control room. 5

Tim	28/04/2024
[5.025 lb] This unit is truly a great value and is a must for professional broadcasters. Previously, this wasthe cost for basically one CCU. The fact you can control 4 (more with the shift function) is truly amazing. The only complaint I have is the coloring is more limited than the broadcast professional units. 5
