Image Effect

* The image effect function is not supported in
version 1.0.

Overview

Image effect is a function used to apply a DME effect to
the signal selected on the background A bus or B bus.
Notes
• Setting the image effect function introduces a one-frame
delay in the image.
• In flip-flop mode, interchanging the background A bus
and B bus signals also interchanges their image effect
settings at the same time.
DME restrictions
• To use the DME function, the XKS-G1600 GPU Pack
(option) and XZS-G1610 3D DME License (option) are
required.
When the system signal format is 2160P, the DME
function must be enabled for use.
For details about setting GPU functions, see "Setting a
GPU" (page 286).
• The number of DME channels that can be used will vary,
depending on the system signal format and the DME
enhanced function mode setting.
For details, see "DME channels" (page 142).
• The image effect function cannot be set when a
background DME wipe is set.
Number of DME channels that can be used
simultaneously
DMEs can be used in up to two locations simultaneously
on a single switcher bank (processed key or image effect).
The number of DME channels that can be used on a key
depends on the image effect use, as given below.
When not using the image effect function:
One DME channel on each of two keys, or one to four
DME channels on a single key can be used.
When using the image effect function on background A or
B:
One DME channel on a single key only can be used.
When using the image effect function on both background
A and B:
DMEs cannot be used on keys.
Notes
• In multi program 2 mode, DME channels can be used in
up to two locations (main and/or sub).
• When M/E split is enabled, one DME channel can be
used on each of the two sub blocks.

Setting the Image Effect Function

This section describes the M/E-1 menu as an example.
Assigning a DME channel to a background
bus
Note
Only one DME channel can be used on each background
bus.
1
Open the Home > M/E-1 > Bus/Transition > Bus >
Image Effect menu (11109.12).
2
In the [Image Effect] group, select the target
background bus to set.
Background A: Background A bus
Background B: Background B bus
3
In the [DME Select] group, select a DME channel
(DME 1 to DME 4) to assign.
You can check the DME channel status using the
button display.
On: DME channel assigned to the selected
background bus
Off: DME channel not assigned
Lock icon: DME channel assigned to a different key/
bus
To select a DME channel assigned to a different
key or bus
Use the override function. You can release the DME
channel assignment for another key/bus and then select the
DME channel.
To enable the override function, set the [Override] button
to the on state.
The DME channel is assigned to the selected background
bus and the lock icon displayed on the DME channel
button disappears.

Executing the Image Effect Function

The image effect function can be executed on the cross-
point control block of the target switcher bank.
The DME effect to use for the image effect function must
be configured for the DME channel beforehand.
This section describes the background A bus as an
example.
