DVE Key
DVEs, or digital video effects, are used to create picture-in-picture boxes with borders.
Mostmodels have 1 channel of 2D DVE that allows scaling, rotation, 3D borders and offers a
drop shadow.

Background
A full screen image.
Fill
Another full screen that has been scaled, rotated or has added borders and will be overlaid on
top of the background.
Key/Cut

DVEprocessor.

Performing an Upstream DVE Key
To set up a DVE key on the upstream keyer on ATEM Television Studio HD:
1 The first step is to navigate to the upstream key settings in the LCD menu and set
‘next transition’ to ON. This enables the upstream keyer on the preview output so you
can see the key during the setup stage and ties the key to the next transition so it will
transition to air when the next transition is performed.
2 In the LCD menu upstream key settings, set the key type setting to DVE.
3 Return to the upstream key menu and scroll down to the fill source setting. Select the
image you want to key as the fill source.
