Operating your ATEM Switcher

To perform a graphic transition on the broadcast panel
Step 1. On the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel, press the DVE button which illuminates yellow. On the
ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, press the SHIFT and WIPE/DVE buttons to select the DVE transition
type. The WIPE/DVE button illuminates green to indicate the DVE transition type is selected.
If the DVE is already being used in an upstream key, the message DVE unavailable will be
displayed and the DVE transition type will be unavailable for selection until the key is taken
off air and off preview. Refer to sharing DVE resources below for more information.
Step 2. From the system control menu buttons, push next until you are on the DVE Graphics menu.
You can also navigate to the DVE menu by selecting TRANS > DVE PATTRN from the home
menu and repeatedly pushing 'Next' to get to the DVE Graphic page.
Step 3. Select one of the two graphic mix buttons, depending on which way you want your graphic
to spin across the screen.
Step 4. Select the logo fill source and logo key source for the graphic from the select bus.
Step 5. Set the rate and any other key parameters if required.
Step 6. Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from the transition control
block.
Description of graphic wipe parameters
Fill Source
The fill signal is the graphic used to move across the top of the transition.
Key Source
The key signal is a grayscale image that defines the region in the graphic that will
be removed so that the fill signal can be correctly stacked on top of the wipe.
Normal
The normal direction moves the graphic from left to right.
Reverse
Reverse changes the direction so that it moves the graphic from right to left.
When FlipFlop mode is toggled on, the transition changes between normal
FlipFlop
and reverse every time the transition is executed. The 'Normal' or 'Reverse' light
indicates the direction of the next transition.
Rate
Rate specifies the length of the transition in seconds and frames. The rate can be
adjusted using the rate knob or by entering a number on the number pad and
pressing the set rate button.
