That's all there is to it! If you would like to change the transition type, then you can do this in
the LCD menus or the four dedicated transition selection buttons on the front panel. You can
choose from Mix, Dip, Wipe and DVE transitions with the touch of a button.
To change the transition type:
1 Press the menu button to display the menus.
2 Scroll with the knob through the menus to the 'transition' menu.
3 Press the set button and you will see the transition menu page will be selected.
4 Scroll down the list of items in the transition menu until you get to the transition item.
5 Press the set button and scroll through the list of options. Let's select the
DVE transition.
6 Press 'set' to select it. You can press the 'menu' button to back out of the menus back
to the main video preview screen.
Use the LCD menu to select the transition type and you can also
set the transition duration in the transition settings.
While in the menu, you can press the 'auto' button to try the different types of transitions
available to you. Each one of the transition types listed in the LCD menus can also be selected
in ATEM Software Control or a hardware control panel if you have one.
As well as the group of main input buttons, the front panel has other sources labeled 'mp1' and
'mp2'. These are media player 1 and media player 2. If you have graphics in your switcher, such
as a graphic or title slide, then you can select the media players as sources and then cut or
transition to them. ATEM Constellation 8K has one media player in 8K mode and four media
players in HD and Ultra HD mode.

You can select other sources in the switcher that are not on the front panel from the
LCD menus.
