    The document discusses switching video sources using ATEM Mini. It can switch between sources connected via HDMI, like cameras, or internal sources like color bars. Switches can be done with straight cuts, which immediately change sources, or transitions, which gradually change sources over a duration using effects like dissolves or wipes. To cut, press cut then the new source button. To transition, press the new source button which will automatically transition between sources.

    Switching your Production

    Now that you have your cameras and microphone connected and your streaming software sees
    ATEM Mini as a webcam, ATEM Mini is ready to start switching your production. This happens
    when you switch from one video source in your broadcast to another. A source can be any
    HDMI video signal connected to the HDMI inputs. It can also be a still graphic, a keyer, or any
    internal source like a color generator, color bars, or black.
    With ATEM Mini, you can switch cleanly using professional cuts or transitions. For example,
    a cut will instantly change from one source to another and a transition will change sources over
    a defined duration often using an effect. For more information, refer to the ‘using cuts and
    transitions’ section later in this manual.

    Using Cuts and Transitions


    When switching video sources, you can use a straight cut which will immediately change one
    source to another, or a transition which gradually changes one source to another over a defined
    duration. Transitions appear as an effect, for example a cross dissolve or mix, a dip to colour, or
    even a stylized wipe and you have many styles to choose from.

    Switching Sources using a Cut


    In the demonstration below ATEM Mini will cut from input 1 to input 2.

    To perform a cut:
    1 Input 1 is illuminated red to indicate input 1 is currently live on air.
    2 Select a ‘cut’ by pressing the ‘cut’ button. Pressing ‘cut’ tells ATEM Mini
    you want to use a straight cut instead of an auto transition.
    3 Now press the input 2 button.

    Input 1 will now immediately switch to input 2 and you will see input 2 illuminated red,
    which means input 2 is now live on air. This is known as a cut as you are ‘cutting’ directly
    from one source to another.

    Switching Sources using an Auto Transition


    Transitions let you smoothly switch from one source to another over a defined duration.
    For example, a mix transition gradually fades the current source into the next until the original
    source is no longer visible. A wipe transition will move a line across the original source
    revealing another effectively wiping across the image.
    You can add a colored border, or make it soft so the edge is smooth and pleasing. You can
    even use digital video effects or DVEs, such as a squeeze or push, to move the images as they
    transition from one to the other.
    In the demonstration below ATEM Mini will switch from input 1 to input 2 using a mix transition:
