Performing a Transition
When checking your setup, the first step you may want to try is to perform a transition. The
group of large numbered buttons represent the inputs into the switcher. When you first turn on
the switcher, you will see input 1 is the button illuminated red. This means that input 1 is on air
and if you have a video source connected to input 1 it will appear on the program output.
Unlike a standard program/preview switcher control panel, these buttons on ATEM
Constellation HD switcher models serve as both preview and program source buttons and will
illuminate green and red to indicate which source. This section shows how to use the buttons to
switch content to the preview and program outputs.
In this example, we have input 1 on air and we want to transition to input 3.

In program/preview mode with input 1 on air and input 3 on preview
To perform a transition:
1 Select the next source by pressing button 3. The button will now illuminate green to show it
is selected on the preview bus and ‘camera 3’ will appear on the LCD.
2 Press the cut or auto buttons.
If you press cut, button 3 will now illuminate red as it’s on air. Input 3 will also be switched to the
program output. If you select auto, then the currently selected transition will be triggered. While
the transition is occurring, you will see both buttons illuminated red because both sources are
on air during the transition. That’s all there is to it!
If you would like to change the transition type from a cut, then you can do this in the LCD menus
or the four dedicated transition selection buttons on the front panel of ATEM 4 M/E and 2 M/E
Constellation HD switchers. You can choose from Mix, Dip, Wipe and DVE transitions with the
touch of a button.
To select the transition type using the dedicated buttons:
1 Press the dedicated wipe transition button on ATEM 2 M/E and 4 M/E Constellation HD.
2 Source 3 will be red and source 1 will be green following the previous transition.
3 Press ‘auto’ to perform a wipe transition from source 3 to source 1. During the transition,
both source numbers will illuminate red to indicate they are both on air and the ‘wipe’
button will illuminate red.
