TIP On the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel, all transition settings are accessed
via the LCD menu.
4 Press the AUTO button in the transition control block to initiate the transition.
5 During the transition, the red and green buttons on the program and preview buses
both turn red to indicate that you are in the middle of a transition. The fader bar or
transition slider indicator displays the position and progress of the transition and the
transition rate display updates to indicate the number of frames remaining as the
transition progresses.
6 At the end of the transition, sources selected on the program and preview buses are
exchanged to indicate that the video source that was on preview is now on program
and vice versa.
Each transition type has its own independent transition rate allowing you to perform faster
transitions by selecting the transition type and pressing the AUTO button. The previously used
transition rate is remembered for that transition type until it is changed.
A production switcher provides multiple methods of transitioning from one shot to another.
Generally, you use a simple cut transition to move from one background source to another.
Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions allow you to transition between two background sources
by gradually phasing out one and phasing in another. Stinger and Graphic Wipe are special
transitions which will be covered in a later section. Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions are
performed as an auto transition or manual transition using the transition control block.

On the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel the transition types,
for example dip, mix and wipe, have their own independent
selection button. ATEM broadcast panels share transition types
for each button. The shared transition type is accessed by
holding down the shift button and pressing the transition button.
Mix Transitions
A mix is a gradual transition from one source to another and is achieved by interpolating
gradually between two sources, effectively overlapping the sources for the duration of the
effect. The length of the transition or length of the overlap can be adjusted by changing
the mix rate.
