User's Manual
Because the tied downstream keyer is now tied to the main transition, the transition will
happen at the rate specified in the transition rate display of the transition control block.
When the DSK is tied, the signal routing to the clean feed 1 is unaffected.
DSK CUT
The DSK CUT button is used to cut the DSK on or off air and indicates whether the DSK
is currently on or off air. The button is illuminated if the DSK is currently on air.
DSK AUTO
The DSK AUTO button will mix the DSK on or off air at the rate specified in the
DSKrate window.

FTB
The FTB button will fade the program output to black at the rate specified in the FTB
rate window. Once the program output has been faded to black, the FTB button will
flash red until it is pressed again, fading the program output up from black at the same
rate. Afade to black cannot be previewed. You can also set your audio mixer to
automatically fade the audio with your fade to black by selecting the master fader’s
AFV button.
System Status
The status lights provide feedback on the power supplies connected to the broadcast panel
and the switcher. Not all ATEM switcher models have redundant power supplies so sometimes
you will only see a single light illuminated for the power status of the switcher.
However if your switcher model has redundant power and you have two power supplies
connected to the switcher and the control panel, then all the lights should be on. In this situation
where you are using redundant power supplies, any light that turns off could indicate a power
supply or cable is faulty and this should be checked.
