Operating Your ATEM Switcher
To perform an auto transition on the broadcast panel
Step 1. On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
Step 2. Select the transition type using the transition type buttons in the transition control block.
Step 3. In the system control, set the transition rate and adjust any other parameter for the transition
as needed.
Step 4. Press the AUTO button in the transition control block to initiate the transition.
Step 5. During the transition, the red and green buttons on the program and preview buses both
turn red to indicate that you are in the middle of a transition. The fader bar indicator
displays the position and progress of the transition and the transition rate display updates
to indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition progresses.
Step 6. At the end of the transition, sources selected on the program and preview buses are
exchanged to indicate that the video source that was on preview is now on program and
vice versa.
Each transition type has its own independent transition rate allowing the operator to perform
faster transitions by simply selecting the transition type and pressing the AUTO button.
The previously used transition rate is remembered for that transition type until it is changed.
