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?

The Definitive 'Time Bandits'!
Amazing video and audio quality. Details and textures abound. The gold in the movie actually looks like shimmering gold.

Great version, Love the packaging, Video quality is not perfect.
Really nice transfer considering the year this was made. I'm not sure if this could be cleaned up video signal wise any more than it is, because I'm not sure the source. But loved seeing the movie again, and it looks really good on my 138" projected image. Love the packaging.

4K Remaster Quality
I received the 4K / Blu-ray today 06/13 and l am very critical of video and audio quality. I'm not going to review the film but it is excellent with all the Monty Python influences and the iconic stars in the film! But just to assure everyone, the quality of these Criterion discs are perfect! I've never seen this film like this before, if you buy this one, you will not be sorry! The 4K disc also comes with a Blu-ray of the film. Just to mention, the George Harrison song at the end "Dream Away" is also outstanding! 5 Stars!

I'm a huge Time Bandits fan, and I wasn't disappointed
I saw this in the theater (I'm old) and a bunch of times on VHS, DVD and on TV. But nothing beats the movie in super-clear 4K, great sound and CLOSED CAPTIONING.
