  • Page 5: Getting Started

    ATEM switcher! When you’re starting out with a switcher for the first time, the ATEM can look a little intimidating with all its buttons and knobs, however it's all very logically laid out so it's very simple to use! ATEM is a true high-end broadcast switcher that operates using the M/E workflow standards used in the broadcast industry.
  • Page 6 There are multiple types of transitions available, and they can be selected in the transition control. On the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel there are two transition type buttons. One is labeled dip/mix and the other is labeled DVE/wipe. Hitting these buttons selects mix and wipe transitions, however pressing shift and then selecting mix or wipe allows more types of transitions, dip and DVE.
  • Page 7 Getting Started Another great advantage of the ATEM M/E style of operation is you can tie keyers to the transition. This means when you do a mix transition, you can also fade on or off keyers at the same time. This allows you to build up a composition, and then bring the whole lot on air at the same time.

  • Page 8: Understanding The Atem Processor Chassis

    The ATEM chassis mounts in a standard 19" rack. The Television Studio is only 1 rack unit high while the 1 M/E is only 2 rack units and the 2 M/E is only 3 rack units high. The ATEM chassis is very thin and so is ideal for either fixed installation or portable use.
