Selecting a source for a Keyer
Simply press a button in the upper select row to choose which keyer element you want to
change, such as DVE CUT or DVE FILL, then press a button in the numbered row directly
underneath to choose your desired source. For example, you can select a graphic loaded in a
media player, or any of the input sources.
Using DVE Picture in Picture Buttons
These four buttons control preset positions for picture in picture DVEs, for example, when
switching an interview with two individuals in different locations that are on screen
simultaneously. Picture in picture DVEs are great for fast, efficient overlays.
To perform a picture in picture DVE:
1 Press any of the 4 DVE PiP buttons.
2 You will see the PiP box on the preview output. You can change to a different position
by pressing another DVE PiP button.
3 Once you are happy with the position of the DVE, select a source for the PiP box
usingthe Key 1 Fill button on the source select row of buttons. Simply press the Key 1
Fill select button, and then press the button for the source you want to fill the PiP box.
Youcan also use the LCD menus if you prefer.
4 Now all you need to do is press the cut or auto button to perform the transition.
Your DVE PiP effect will appear superimposed over the program output using your
chosen transition. You can also use the transition slider if you want to perform the
transition manually.
If you want to combine the upstream key with a new background simultaneously, simply
press the BKGD button together with the Key 1 Tie button. Now your background and
upstream key will transition together.
TIP When you press a DVE PiP button, you will notice the Key 1 Tie button is
also selected. This is because the DVE PiP is an upstream key and is tied to the
next transition. If you had a different key selected on the upstream keyer, the
keyer is now changed to a DVE key.
NOTE ATEM Television Studio Pro HD has 1 DVE, so DVE features can only be
applied one at a time. The DVE is very powerful, but it’s important to plan how
you want to use the DVE resources available to make the most of them.
