Processing Palettes
The software control panel features tabs for the processing palette, media player, and output
options. The palettes 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.
Palettes Tab
The Palettes tab contains the following processing controls.
Color Generator 1 and 2
The ATEM switcher has two color matte generators
which can be configured from the color generator palette
using a color picker or by setting hue, saturation, and
luminance levels.
SuperSource
ATEM 2 M/E and 4 M/E Constellation HD switchers include
a feature referred to as SuperSource that will allow you to
arrange multiple sources on the monitor at one time. For
more information refer to the section ‘Using SuperSource’
later in this manual.
Upstream Keys
There are 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 selected palette will display all the parameters that are available to configure the keyer.
More information on how to use upstream keyers is included later in this manual.
With ATEM switchers that have 1 M/E, these keyers are all 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 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 Keys
The 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
