Fill Source The fill signal is the graphic used to move across the top of the transition.
Enable Key Enables or disables the key. Set to ‘on’ to enable, or ‘off’ to disable.
Key Source The key signal is a grayscale image that defines the region in the graphic that will
be removed so that the fill signal can be correctly stacked on top of the wipe.
Sharing DVE Resources
The one DVE channel available in the switcher can be used to perform DVE transitions or it can
be used in an upstream keyer. When you select a DVE transition, if the DVE is used elsewhere
in the system, the DVE transition type will not be available. In order to use the graphic wipe
transition you must free the DVE from where it is currently used. Verify that the upstream key
currently on program or preview is not a DVE key. To free DVE from the upstream keyer, change
the key type to anything other than DVE. The DVE will be released and therefore available for
use as a graphic wipe.
Graphic wipe images
The graphic wipe feature requires a static graphic that is used as a moving border for a
horizontal wipe. This graphic should be a vertical ‘banner’ type graphic that is no more than
25% of the total screen width.

Manual Transitions
Manual transitions let you manually transition between program and preview sources using
the fader bar in the software control panel, or using the transition slider on ATEM Television
Studio Pro HD’s control panel. Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions can all be performed as a
manual transition.
To perform a manual transition:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Select the transition type using the transition type buttons.
3 Manually move the fader bar or transition slider from one end to the other to execute
the transition. The next move will begin a new transition.
