Processing Palettes
The software control panel features tabs for the processing palette, media player, and output
options. The palettes show the order of the processing in the switcher. You can expand and
minimize palettes to save space and scroll them up and down to get the adjustments you
need to set.
Palettes Tab
The Palettes tab contains the following processing controls.
Color Generator 1 and 2
The ATEM switcher has two color matte generators
which can be configured from the color generator palette
using a color picker or by setting hue, saturation, and
luminance levels.
SuperSource
ATEM Television Studio HD8 switchers include a feature
called SuperSource that will allow you to arrange multiple
sources on the monitor at one time. For more information
refer to the section ‘SuperSource’ later in this manual.
Upstream Keys
There are four upstream keyers which can be configured
from the upstream key palettes. Each keyer has its own
palette. Within each palette the keyer can be configured as
a luma key, chroma key, pattern key or DVE.
The selected palette will display all the parameters that are available to configure the keyer.
More information on how to use upstream keyers is included later in this manual.
Transitions
The transitions palette is where you can configure the parameters of each transition style.
For example, for the dip transition the palette has a drop down menu where you can select
the dip source and for the wipe transition the palette displays all the available wipe patterns.
There are lots of variations of transitions, and a large number of transitions can be created
by combining settings and features in the transitions palette.
NOTE It’s worth noting that simply selecting a specific style of transition in this palette
will only adjust the settings for these transitions, and you still need to select the style
of transition you want to perform in the transition control section on the software or
hardware switcher. For ease of use, some people like to use the hardware panel for
switching, while using the software panel palettes for setting up the transition. The
software and hardware panels work together and mirror all settings, so you can use
any combination you like!
Downstream Keys
The downstream keyers which can be configured from the downstream keys palette. The
palette has drop down boxes for selecting the fill and key signals to the keyer, sliders to set
the clip and gain values, pre-multiplied, and mask settings. ATEM Television Studio HD8
switchers feature 2 downstream keyers.
