345Creating User Programmable DME Patterns
Chapter 6 DME Wipes
• During the course of a transition, there is a “dead zone” corresponding to the
intermediate point of the whole effect (see following figure), during which
the image does not change. Therefore, it is necessary to create the effect so
that the image in the intermediate part of the transition is the keyframe for
the mid-point of the whole effect. The range of this “dead zone” corresponds
to the central one-third of the range of the transition indicator. This also
applies to an auto transition.
• Create the last keyframe for each channel as follows.
Channel 1: since the priority is low, it will not be visible on the screen, so
no particular restrictions apply.
Channel 2: create the image full-size.
• In the <Transition Mode> group of the Key Frame>DME User PGM menu,
select [P In P].
