Wipe transition parameters
Border Width of the border.
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.
Soft The edges of the wipe pattern can be adjusted between sharp and fuzzy by
adjusting the softness parameter.
Rate The length of the wipe transition in seconds and frames.
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.
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.
The border source used in a wipe transition can be any source in the switcher. For example, a thick border
with the media player as its source can be used for sponsorship or branding.
DVE Transitions
The ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Production Switchers include 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. The length of the dip transition and the dip source can both be customized.
