Using the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel
54
Auxiliary Outputs
Aux crosspoint buttons are located in the M/E 2 destination bus. They can be used with an ATEM switcher
which has aux outputs and which has been assigned to the M/E 2 block. Select the aux number in the
destination bus, and then select a source for it in the M/E 2 Source Select bus. See the later section "Using
Auxiliary Outputs" for the many uses of auxiliary outputs.
The M/E 1 block doesn't have aux buttons. If an ATEM production switcher is assigned to the M/E 1 block,
you can still access the aux outputs through the M/E 1 system control block. From any menu, select HOME
and then AUX and you'll see the aux outputs are numbered. Select the aux output you wish to change and
then select a new source for it in the Source Select bus.
Transition Control and Upstream Keyers
The ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel has independent transition controls and upstream keyers for the M/E
1 and M/E 2 blocks. They work exactly the same way in the M/E 1 and M/E 2 blocks. These independent
controls are great for when you need to create different shows using each M/E as an isolated output.
CUT
The CUT button performs an immediate transition of the Program and Preview outputs, regardless of the
selected transition type.
AUTO and Transition Rate
The AUTO button will perform the selected transition at the rate specified in the transition rate window.
The AUTO button illuminates red for the duration of the transition and the transition rate display updates to
indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition progresses. If the software control panel is active,
the virtual fader bar updates to provide visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
The transition rate for each transition style is set in the system control, and is displayed in the transition rate
window of the transition control block when the corresponding transition style button is selected.
Fader Bar and Fader Bar Indicator
The fader bar is used as an alternative to the AUTO button and allows the operator to manually control
the transition. The fader bar Indicator next to the fader bar provides visual feedback on the progress of the
transition.
The AUTO button illuminates red for the duration of the transition and the transition rate display updates to
indicate the number of frames remaining as the transition progresses. If the software control panel is active,
the virtual fader bar updates to provide visual feedback on the progress of the transition.
