User's Manual

With ATEM switchers that have 1 M/E, these keyers are all labeled as being for M/E 1.
On ATEM 2 M/E and 4 M/E model switchers, the labels will show which M/E these keys are
connected to.
Transitions
The transitions palette is where you can configure the parameters of each transition
style. Forexample, for the dip transition the palette has a drop down menu where you
can select the dip source and for the wipe transition the palette displays all the
available wipe patterns. There are lots of variations of transitions, and a large number of
transitions can be created by combining settings and features in the transitions palette.
NOTE It’s worth noting that simply selecting a specific style of transition in this
palette will only adjust the settings for these transitions, and you still need to
select the style of transition you want to perform in the transition control
section on the software or hardware control panel. For ease of use, some
people like to use the hardware based broadcast panel for switching, while
using the software panel palettes for setting up the transition. The software
and hardware panels work together and mirror all settings, so you can use any
combination you like!
Downstream Key 1 and 2
The ATEM has two downstream keyers which can be configured from the downstream
keys palette. The palette has drop down boxes for selecting the fill and key signals to
the keyer, sliders to set the clip and gain values, pre-multiplied, and mask settings.
Fade to Black
The Fade to Black palette is where you can set the fade to black transition rate. An
Audio Follow Video checkbox is also provided as a shortcut for the audio mixer’s
master fader AFV button. Selecting this feature lets you fade your audio with your
fade to black.
Media Players Tab
The Media Players tab contains controls for your ATEM Switcher’s media players and
connected HyperDecks.
Media Players
Your ATEM switcher has media players which play back the clips and stills that are
stored in the media pool memory built into the switcher. The drop down list is used to
select the still or clip that will be played or made available on the media player input to
the switcher. When a clip is selected, the transport controls in the media player can be
used to play, pause and loop the clip. Controls are also provided to step forward and
backward through frames of the clip. Most ATEM switchers have 2 media players.
ATEM2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K has 4 media players.
