71DME Wipes
Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions
Pattern limit: You can restrict the range of the transition as desired. However,
this is not available for a DME wipe in the independent key transition
control block.
For more details, see “Pattern Limit” (page 239).
Size: This can only be used when one of the following pattern numbers is
selected.
1201 to 1204, 1251, 2651, 2652
You can set the size of the image.
Crop: You can crop the image. It is also possible in 16:9 mode to crop both
sides, to convert the image to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Relation Between DME Wipes and Other Effects
The relations between DME wipes and other effects are as follows.
Relation to ordinary wipes
• DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore,
during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by
the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask.
• A DME wipe pattern cannot be used as the source for a pattern key or mask.
Relation to processed keys
When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an
available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe. If all of the DME
channels are in use, then it is not possible to select a DME wipe.
Number of DME wipes that can be used simultaneously on a
single M/E bank
DME wipes can be used in five places, including the four independent key
transitions, but a maximum of two can be used simultaneously.
DME Wipe Snapshots
You can instantaneously save the DME wipe pattern in a special-purpose
register, together with all applied modifiers and the transition rate, for recall as
required.
