User's Manual

To perform a transition:
1 Select the next source by pressing button 4. The button will now illuminate green to
show it’s selected on the preview bus.
2 Press the cut or auto buttons.
If you press cut, button 4 will now illuminate red as it’s on air. Input 4 will also be switched to the
program output. If you select auto, then the currently selected transition will be triggered. While
the transition is occurring, you will see both buttons illuminated red because both sources are
on air during the transition.

Use the LCD menu to select the transition type and you can also
set the transition duration in the transition settings.
While in the menu, you can press the ‘auto’ button to try the different types of transitions
available to you. Each one of the transition types listed in the LCD menus can also be selected
in ATEM Software Control or a hardware control panel if you have one.
As well as the group of main input buttons, the front panel has other sources labeled ‘mp1’ and
‘mp2’. These are media player 1 and media player 2. If you have graphics in your switcher, such
as a graphic or title slide, then you can select the media players as sources and then cut or
transition to them. ATEM Constellation 8K has one media player in 8K mode and four media
players in HD and Ultra HD mode.
