Operating Your ATEM Switcher
On the ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E production switchers, the stinger transition uses a clip from the media player
to perform a transition. The clip is normally a graphic animation that is keyed over the background. As the
animation plays, when it is full screen, a cut or mix of the background is performed under the animation. For
example, this type of transition is very popular in sports productions for transitioning in and out of instant
replays. The stinger transition takes advantage of a special keyer that is built into the transition block, leaving
all of the upstream and downstream keyers available for compositing your output. The following section
explains how to build and perform stinger transitions.
