DMEs

Overview

DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add three-
dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation,
magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of
special effects.
You can use up to four channels (XVS-9000/8000/7000)
or two channels (XVS-6000) as dedicated DME channels.
Each channel can be used on its own or in combination
with other channels, which allows you to create advanced
effects with more complexity.
About DME boards
XKS-8470 HD DME Board
This board is an HD format (1080P, 1080i, 1080PsF,
720P) DME board.
You can use up to four channels on the XVS-9000/8000/
7000 (with two boards installed in the switcher) or up to
two channels on the XVS-6000 (with one board installed
in the switcher) of DME functionality.
XKS-8475 DME Board
This board is a 4K format (3840×2160P 2SI) DME board.
You can use up to four channels on the XVS-9000 (with
four boards installed in the switcher), up to two channels
on the XVS-8000/7000 (with two boards installed in the
switcher), or up to one channel on the XVS-6000 (with one
board installed in the switcher) of DME functionality.
Notes
• When the switcher signal format is 3840×2160P SQD or
3840×2160PsF SQD, the DME function cannot be used.
• A mix of XKS-8470 and XKS-8475 boards can be
installed in a switcher. Each board functions only for the
corresponding signal formats.
To use both boards on the XVS-9000, the maximum
number of boards that can be installed is two of each.
• If Ext Out is set as an M/E dedicated output on the
XVS-8000, DME effects cannot be used in 4K format.
For details, see "Setting the Ext Out mode" (page 447).

About Ext In inputs
The signal that is input on DME Ext In (AUX bus output)
is set using the Setup menu.
For details about Ext In settings, see "Assigning an AUX
Bus to Ext In on a DME" (page 459).
Notes
• In 4K format, the Ext In input signal cannot be used.
• On the XVS-8000, only primary input and color
background signals can be used on Ext In. However,
XKS-T8110 IP Input Connector Board input signals
cannot be used.
When a dedicated input is used, you can select the
configured signal in the Engineering Setup >Switcher
>Input >Dedicated Input Assign menu (7332.10).
About DME function restrictions
There are restrictions on the number of DME channels that
can be used and on the functions, depending on the
switcher and signal format.
For differences in functions by switcher, see "XVS-9000/
8000/7000/6000 System Configuration Comparison"
(page 509).
For details about restrictions for 4K format, see "4K
Format Restrictions" (page 511).
Transforms in Three-Dimensional
Space (Transforms)
A transform is the process of a DME placing a video image
in a three-dimensional space and subjecting it to
manipulation, such as movement, rotation, magnification,
or shrinking.
Three-dimensional space
Source space and target space
Images are placed in one of two types of space: source
space and target space.
