DME restrictions
• When the SDI interface is used to connect the DME,
DME effects (including DME wipes) can be used in only
one place for one M/E bank.
• When the dedicated interface is used to connect the
DME, the number of keys to which DME effects
(including DME wipes) can be applied simultaneously
for one M/E bank varies as follows depending on the
execution mode of the DME wipe pattern selected for the
background.

combination of two consecutively numbered DME
channels that can be selected is DME1 and DME2, DME3
and DME4, DME5 and DME6, or DME7 and DME8. It is
not possible to combine three or more DME channels.
On the MVS-7000X, when the signal format is 1080P, the
same restriction also applies if using the MVE-8000A.
There is no such restriction if using the MKS-7470X/
