Fade to Black

The fade to black button is an easy way to start and end live broadcasts. Fade to black
performs a mix to black which happens across all video layers at the same time. This means all
video inputs, stills and any upstream or downstream keyers that are visible in your broadcast.
When performing a fade to black, the master program audio will also fade out to silence.
Simply press the FTB button to perform the fade to black. The button will flash while enabled.

To fade up from black, simply press the FTB button again. This is a clean way of starting and
finishing a broadcast.

Using a Still Graphic

The ‘still’ button is another input source you can switch to in your production. Simply press the
‘still’ button to switch a still loaded in the media player to air.
To take the graphic off air, simply switch to a different input source.
The ‘still’ button will switch a graphic loaded in ATEM Software Control’s media pool.
ATEM Software Control is an extremely powerful software control panel that opens a
world of options and lets you do a lot more with ATEM Mini.
