Stinger Transition Settings
On ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E 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.
Performing a Stinger Transition
To perform a stinger transition on the software control panel
Step 1. Select the STING transition style button in the transition control block.
Step 2. In the media player 1 or media player 2 palette, select the media you plan to use for the
transition.
Step 3. In the transition palette, select the stinger transition type.
Step 4. Select the media player source that has the clip you plan to use.
Step 5. Adjust the clip duration, trigger point, mix rate, and pre roll parameters if required.
Step 6. Perform the transition as an auto transition from the transition control block.
You cannot perform a manual stinger transition using the fader bar.
