The DSK will transition at the rate specified in the 'rate' display of the transition control block.
If the DSK is tied, the signal routing to the clean feed 1 is unaffected.
ON AIR
The ON AIR 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.
AUTO
The AUTO button will mix the DSK on or off air at the rate specified in the DSK 'rate' window.
This is similar to the main AUTO rate on the transition control block, however it's limited only to
the downstream keyer. This can be used to fade up and down bugs and logos, such as live or
replay bugs during production, without interfering with the main program production transitions.
Fade to Black
Downstream key and fade to black
The FTB button will fade the whole program video output to black at the rate specified in the
fade to black RATE window. Once the program output has been faded to black, the FTB button
will flash red until it is pressed again. Doing so will fade up from black at the same rate, or
you can enter a new rate in the fade to black palette in the 'switcher' window. Fade to black is
mostly used at the start and end of your production, or when cutting to commercial breaks.
It ensures all layers in ATEM Mini are faded down together. A fade to black cannot be
previewed. You can also set the audio mixer to fade the audio with your fade to black by
selecting the 'audio follow video' checkbox in the fade to black palette, or by enabling the
AFV button on the master audio output fader.
Processing Palettes
The software control panel features tabs for the processing palette, media player, and
output options.
TIP
The palettes also show the order of the processing in the switcher. You can
expand and minimize palettes to save space and scroll them up and down to get the
adjustments you need to set.
