Performing Transitions using
ATEM Hardware Panels
The buttons and knobs on the ATEM Advanced Panels follow the same M/Elayout, plus the
system control blocks share the same functions. This means controlling your switcher is intuitive
when working with both advanced panels because they operate your switcher in exactly
the same way.
ATEM Advanced Panels use large LCD screens with soft control knobs and buttons which lets
you adjust settings dynamically as you control your switcher. This is a fast and convenient way
of working with your panel.
This section describes how to perform the various transition types on your switcher using an
external ATEM hardware panel.
Cut Transitions
The cut is the most basic transition that can be performed on the switcher. In a cut transition the
program output is immediately changed from one source to another.

and all upstream and downstream keys will maintain their current state.
