The ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel shares
transition types for eachbutton and
the second transition type is accessed
by holding down the shift button and
pressing the transition button
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.
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.
