Performing Transitions using ExternalHardwarePanels
3 In the DVE LCD menu, use the soft control knobs and buttons to configure the DVE
parameters. For example, select the DVE pattern and movement direction, and adjust
the DVE transition rate.
4 Perform the transition as an auto or manual transition using the auto button or fader bar.
To perform a DVE transition on an ATEM broadcast panel:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 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. The system control automatically navigates to the DVE
pattern menu. To manually navigate to the DVE pattern menu press HOME > TRANS >
DVE PATTRN.
If the DVE is already being used in an upstream key, the message DVE unavailable will
be displayed and the DVE transition type will not be available for selection until the key
is taken off air and off next transition. Refer to sharing DVE resources later in this
section for more information.
3 Use the system control menu buttons to select the DVE effects, graphic effects and to
enable/disable the DVE Key.
4 Use the knobs and buttons in the system control to customize the DVE transition. You
can also enter a DVE rate using the number pad followed by the set rate button.
5 If you are performing a graphic DVE/WIPE, use the select bus to select the logo fill
source. Then press the DEST SHIFT or CUT/FILL button, depending upon your model
of broadcast panel, and use the select bus to select the logo cut source.
6 Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from transition control.
DVE transition parameters
DVE Rate The duration of the DVE transition in seconds and frames. Rotate the DVE rate
knob to adjust the DVE transition rate. The new rate is immediately displayed in
the transition rate window in the transition control block.
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.
NOTE If the DVE is already being used in an upstream key, the DVE transition
type will not be available for selection until the key is taken off air and off next
transition. Refer to ‘sharing DVE resources’ later in this section for
moreinformation.
