Macro and Upstream Keyers
Macro Button
The macro button is used to enable the macro feature and once selected it changes the
program row of buttons to macro buttons corresponding to macro slots in the software control
panel. When holding down the macro button, the ten macro buttons in the program row will
illuminate blue. Press the shift button while holding down the macro button and the macro
buttons will correspond to macros 11-20.
Next Transition
The BKGD, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY 3, KEY 4 buttons are used to select the elements which will
transition on air or off air with the next transition. Any combination of background and keys can
be selected by pressing multiple buttons simultaneously. Double pressing the BKGD button
selects all of the next transition upstream keyers that are currently on air and copies them to
next transition buttons.
ATEM Micro Panel
Pressing any of the next transition buttons will clear selection of all others. When selecting the

elements of the next transition, the switcher operator should look at the preview output
because it provides an accurate representation of what the program output will look like after
the transition is completed. When only the BKGD button is selected, a transition from the
current source on the program bus to the source selected on the preview bus will occur.
