Using ATEM Software Control<br />

Downstream Key<br />

Fade to Black<br />

Processing Palettes<br />

Downstream Keyers<br />

TIE<br />

The TIE button will enable the DSK on the preview output, along with the next transition effects, and tie it to<br />

the main transition control so that the DSK can be taken to air with the next transition.<br />

The DSK will transition at the rate specified in the RATE display of the transition control block. If the DSK is<br />

tied, the signal routing to the clean feed 1 is unaffected.<br />

ON AIR<br />

The ON AIR button is used to cut the DSK on or off air and indicates whether the DSK is currently on or off<br />

air. The button is illuminated if the DSK is currently on air.<br />

AUTO<br />

The AUTO button will mix the DSK on or off air at the rate specified in the DSK RATE window. This is similar<br />

to the main AUTO rate on the transition control block, however it's limited only to the specific downstream<br />

keyer. This can be used to fade up and down bugs and logos, such as live or replay bugs during <strong>production</strong>,<br />

without interfering with the main program <strong>production</strong> transitions.<br />

Fade to Black (FTB)<br />

The FTB button will fade the whole program video output to black at the rate specified in the fade to black<br />

RATE window. Once the program output has been faded to black, the FTB button will remain illuminated red<br />

until it is pressed again, fading the program output up from black at the same rate. Fade to black is mostly<br />

used at the start of your <strong>production</strong>, and at the end of your <strong>production</strong>, or when cutting to commercial<br />

breaks. It ensures all layers in the <strong>switcher</strong> are faded down together. A fade to black cannot be previewed.<br />

Processing Palettes<br />

The following processing palettes are available in the software control panel for the ATEM 1 M/E Production<br />

Switcher model. These change based on the model you’re connected to, and are an easy way to see what<br />

processing is available in the <strong>switcher</strong>. Different ATEM models will have different features, so the palettes<br />

can change. The palettes also show the order of the processing in the <strong>switcher</strong>.<br />

You can expand and minimize palettes to save space and scroll them up and down to get the adjustments<br />

you need to set.<br />

Color Generator 1 and 2<br />

The ATEM <strong>switcher</strong> has two color matte generators which can be configured from the color generator<br />

palette using a color picker or by setting hue, saturation, and luminance levels.
