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.
A production switcher provides multiple methods of transitioning from one shot to another.
Generally, you use a simple cut transition to move from one background source to another.
Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions allow you to transition between two background sources
by gradually phasing out one and phasing in another. Stinger and Graphic Wipe are special
transitions which will be covered in a later section. Mix, dip, wipe and DVE transitions are
performed as an auto transition or manual transition using the transition control block.
Mix Transitions
A mix is a gradual transition from one source to another and is achieved by interpolating
gradually between two sources, effectively overlapping the sources for the duration of the
effect. The length of the transition or length of the overlap can be adjusted by changing
the mix rate.

Mix Transition rate setting
To perform a mix transition on the software control panel:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Select the mix transition style in the transition control block.
3 Expand the transition palette and select mix from the transition types bar.
4 Adjust the mix rate by entering a number in the rate window. The rate display in the
transition control block will update.
5 Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from the transition
control block.
To perform a mix transition on an ATEM advanced panel:
1 On the preview bus, select the video source that you want on the program output.
2 Press the DIP/MIX or MIX button to select the mix transition type. The system control
automatically navigates to the transition menu.
3 Using the LCD panel, use the soft control knob to adjust the mix rate. The transition rate
display in the advanced panel's transition control block will update dynamically. You
can also enter a rate duration using the number pad.
4 Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from the transition
control block.
