#003 Upstream Keys - Downstream Keys

The difference and usage of upstream keys and downstream keys can be quite confusing. In this video I've tried to explain the differences. Useful for anyone working in a live stream environment, whether it's with an Atem Mini, an Atem Mini Pro or an Atem Mini Extreme switcher, or really any video switcher.
Happy Streaming!

This is an excellent demonstration of how the confusion about USKs preview on or off can be avoided.

This is a great simple explanation of how to use the ATEM control software for the keys. Thanks.

Your review of how to use the ATEM Mini Extreme is excellent, we need more videos that explain how to use this device and its Tools correctly.

Loved this explanation. When you showed the stack, and then described the location of the keys in relation to the transition handle I had a "duh" moment! Now I visualize the the stack as a river... the HDMIs are at the source of the river, then the upstream keys come next, then the downstream are at the furthest from the source.

Thank you for this explanation. You really helped to clarify a very confusing aspect of the ATEM for new users who are not familiar with the jargon and concepts of Videography and Streaming. I will have to rewatch a time or two, but great content!

really good job.. your explanation is great

Nice explanation but EVERY person explaining the keys always forgets to explain the right key source section in which we have chose key source and fill source. and why which in which. The always problem when someone tries to explain something when it is already clear to them :) Or like I tend so say: "Everything is easy and logical from the moment you know it" A great teacher can imagine the moment before he knew it himself and work from there :) Anyways, thank you for the video. It did help me on my road to fully understand keying in the mini extreme

Really great explanation - please keep them coming...

Thank you for this, would you be able to answer something for me please. I understand the flow, what is the technical reason if any, that we don't simple treat the final USK as a DSK? I absolutely understand the separation for transition preview and mix philosophy, but is that all it is? There is ultimately nothing special or different between a USK and a DSK?
