Using ATEM Software Control

Media Player 1 and 2
The ATEM switcher has two media players which playback 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 can
be used to play, pause and loop the clip. Controls are also provided to step forward and backward through
frames of the clip.
Upstream Key 1 to 4
Depending on the switcher model, ATEM has up to four upstream keyers per M/E which can be configured
from the upstream key palettes. Each keyer has its own palette. Within each palette the keyer can be
configured as a luma key, chroma key, pattern key or DVE. The type of key available will also depend on
the switcher model and if the DVE is available. The selected palette will display all the parameters that
Processing Palettes
are available to configure the keyer. More information on how to use upstream keyers is included later in
this manual.
Since the ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher, 1 M/E Production Studio 4K and Television Studio models have
only 1 M/E, these keyers are all labeled as being for M/E 1. On both the ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher
and ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K, the labels will show which M/E these keys are connected to.
Transition
The transition palette is where you can configure the parameters of each transition style. For example for the
dip transition the palette has a drop down 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 transition palette.
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.
