Processing Palettes; Palettes Tab; Supersource; Upstream Keys - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Production Studio 4K Installation And Operation Manual

Processing Palettes

The software control panel features tabs for processing palette, media player, and capture
options. The following processing palettes are available. These change based on the model
you're connected to, and are an easy way to see what processing is available in the switcher.
Different ATEM models will have different features, so the palettes can change. The palettes
also show the order of the processing in the switcher. You can expand and minimize palettes to
save space and scroll them up and down to get the adjustments you need to set.

Palettes Tab

The Palettes tab contains the following processing controls.
Color Generator 1 and 2
The ATEM switcher has two color matte generators which can be configured from the color
generator palette using a color picker or by setting hue, saturation, and luminance levels.

SuperSource

ATEM 2 M/E switcher models include a feature referred to as SuperSource (Picture in Picture or
PIP) that will allow you to arrange multiple sources on the monitor at one time. For more
information refer to the section 'Using SuperSource (Picture in Picture)' later in this manual.

Upstream Keys

Depending on the switcher model, ATEM has up to four upstream keyers per M/E which can be
configured from the upstream key palettes. Each keyer has its own palette. Within each palette
the keyer can be configured as a luma key, chroma key, pattern key or DVE. The type of key
available will also depend on the switcher model and if the DVE is available. The selected
palette will display all the parameters that are available to configure the keyer. More information
on how to use upstream keyers is included later in this manual.
Since the ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher, 1 M/E Production Studio 4K and Television Studio
models have only 1 M/E, these keyers are all labeled as being for M/E 1. On ATEM 2 M/E model
switchers, the labels will show which M/E these keys are connected to.
