Performing Transitions using ExternalHardwarePanels
To perform a wipe transition on an ATEM broadcast panel:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Press the WIPE button to select the wipe transition type. The system control
automatically navigates to the wipe patterns menu. To manually navigate to the wipe
patterns menu press HOME > TRANS > WIPE PATTRN.
3 Use the system control menu buttons to select the wipe pattern.
4 Use the system control knobs and buttons to adjust border parameters and specify
wipe direction. You can also enter a rate duration using the number pad followed by the
set rate button.
5 Use the select bus to select the border source.
6 Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from the transition
control block.
Wipe transition parameters
Rate The length of the wipe transition in seconds and frames.
Symmetry Symmetry can be used to control the aspect ratio of the pattern.
For example, adjusting the symmetry will allow you to change a circle into an
ellipse. On the broadcast panel symmetry can be adjusted using the z axis of
the joystick.
Position If the wipe pattern has positioning then the joystick on the broadcast panel or
the x position: and y position: boxes in the transition palette of the software
control panel can be used to move the center of the pattern. Moving the
joystick dynamically updates the x and y position display in the software
control panel.
Normal The normal direction for closed patterns such as circles, diamonds and boxes
is to grow from the center of the screen and progress outward.
Reverse Reverse changes the progression of closed patterns such as circles, diamonds
and boxes so that the pattern closes in from the edges of the screen toward
the center.
FlipFlop When FlipFlop mode is toggled on, the transition changes between normal to
reverse every time the transition is executed.
Border Width of the border.
Soft The edges of the wipe pattern can be adjusted between sharp and fuzzy by
adjusting the softness parameter.
DVE Transitions
Your ATEM switcher includes a powerful digital video effects processor for DVE transitions.
A DVE transition displaces the image in various ways to transition from one picture to another.
For example, a DVE transition can be used to squeeze the current picture off screen revealing a
new video under it.
To perform a DVE transition on the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Press the DVE transition type button to select the DVE transition. The DVE settings will
appear on the LCD menu.
