Relation to ordinary wipes
• DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore,
during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by
the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask.
• A DME wipe pattern cannot be used as the source for a pattern key or mask.
Relation to processed keys
When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an
available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe. If all of the DME
channels are in use, then it is not possible to select a DME wipe.
If in a Setup menu a setting has been made for DME allocation, that Setup
menu setting takes precedence (see "Setting the assignments of DME channels
to use on the individual M/E banks" in Chapter 20 (Volume 3).
Relation to resizer
When resizer is enabled, it is not possible to select a DME wipe.
For the key 1 and key 2, key 3 and key 4, key 5 and key 6, or key 7 and key 8
combinations, if one is used for a dual resizer effect, the other key cannot be
used for a DME wipe.
Number of DME wipes that can be used simultaneously on a
single M/E bank
DME wipes can be used in nine places, including the eight independent key
transitions.
Notes
• When the signal format is 1080P, DME wipes can be used in five places,
including the four independent key transitions.
• In the M/E-4 block, it is not possible to use a DME wipe for keys 5 to 8.
Simultaneous use is possible in a maximum of two places.
However, when one DME channel wipe pattern is selected for the background,
DME can only be used in one place for keys 1 to 4. When two or more channels
are selected, DME cannot be used.
