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 eight channels 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.

Devices Supporting DMEs

The following boards and processors provide DME
support.
Functions that can be used differ with the device used.
For details, see "Functional Differences Between DME
Models" (page 529).
MKS-7470X/7471X DME board set (MVS-
7000X only)
Installing this in the MVS-7000X allows DME to be
operated as though part of the switcher.
Each board supports two channels, and a maximum of two
boards (four channels) can be used.
There are two types of interfaces available for connecting
DMEs to the switcher: a dedicated interface and an SDI
interface.
For details, see "Setting the Interface Between the DME
and the Switcher" (page 455).
Note
The use of an SDI interface requires an MKS-8110X 20-
input board and an MKS-7171X DME output connector
board. Also, the following operations are different from
using a dedicated interface.
Chapte
• Setting the input signals from the switcher to the MKS-
7470X/7471X (AUX bus outputs), and signals returned
to the switcher (re-entry inputs).
For details, see "Setting AUX Bus Outputs and Re-entry
Inputs" (page 455).
• Combiner channels are selected not on the control panel,
but in the Global Effect menu.
For details, see "Combine operation when using an SDI
interface" (page 279).
MVE-8000A Multi Format DME Processor
The MVE-8000A is a "Digital Multi Effects" unit with
multi-format support.
For the MVE-8000A, an optional MKE-8021A Input/
Output Board is available as a dedicated interface for
integrated use with the switcher.
There are two types of interfaces available for connecting
DMEs to the switcher: a dedicated interface and an SDI
interface.
For details, see "Setting the Interface Between the DME
and the Switcher" (page 455).
Note
When using an SDI interface, the following operations are
different from using a dedicated interface.
• Setting the input signals from the switcher to the MVE-
8000A (AUX bus outputs), and signals returned to the
switcher (re-entry inputs). However, "Ext In" cannot be
set for the DME channel.
For details, see "Setting AUX Bus Outputs and Re-entry
Inputs" (page 455).
• Combiner channels are selected not on the control panel,
but in the Global Effect menu.
For details, see "Combine operation when using an SDI
interface" (page 279).
MVE-9000 Multi Format DME Processor
The MVE-9000 is a "Digital Multi Effects" unit with
multi-format support.
For the MVE-9000, an optional MKE-9021M Input/
Output Board is available as a dedicated interface for
integrated use with the switcher.
