For example, in the case of a page turn:
– Lighting mode one (Spotlight) places a light on the surface of the
page, prior to 3-D transform. The light will be manipulated with
the page in a non-linear transform — as if the light is part of the
original image.
– Lighting mode two (Lighting) highlights the turning edge of the
image during the effect, and casts a shadow on the page. During
the page turn itself, lighting mode one is covered up by the
turning page. Note that this mode also occurs prior to 3-D
transform.
– The third mode (Target Spotlight) lights both the page and the
turning edge of the image.
With the benefit of the DME-3000's lighting effects, the resulting
image greatly increases the viewers perception of realism.
The figure below illustrates the different video paths when each
lighting mode is enabled. Note that when Target Spotlight is
enabled, Spotlight is disabled. This occurs because the two modes
share the same light source, and are thus mutually exclusive.

Wipe Patterns — With the optional BKDM-3040 board installed,
images can be cropped by a closed wipe pattern (such as Star, Heart, or
the Christmas Tree shape) without tying up an M/E bank on the
production switcher. The wipe generator also masks images, creates
spotlight effects, creates background color mixes and embossed color
mix effects. In addition, the Spotlight, Target Light (DME-7000), and
Target Spotlight modes can also use the wipe pattern.
With masks in particular, if you're using a video modification such as
mosaic or posterization, you can create a mask for the edges of the
modification, position the resulting masked "window," and manipulate
the mask within an effect.
