Image Effect - Sony XVS-9000 User Manual

Image Effect

An image effect is a function used to apply a DME effect
to the signal selected on the background A bus or B bus.
Notes
• When the switcher signal format is 3840×2160P SQD or
3840×2160PsF SQD, the image effect cannot be used.
• 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).
• An image effect cannot be set when using a background
DME wipe.
• To use the image effect function, assignment of the
[IMAGE] button for the target button row for operation
to the cross-point pad is required in the Setup menu (see
page 425).
• Setting an image effect introduces a one-frame delay in
the video.
This section describes setting an image effect on the
background A bus on the M/E-1 bank as an example.

Setting an image effect
Notes
• The DME effect to use in the image effect must be
configured for the target DME channel for operation
beforehand.
• In flip-flop mode, interchanging the background A bus
and B bus signals also interchanges their image effect
settings at the same time.
• If an image effect is set, the number of keys that can
simultaneously use a DME (including DME wipes) on
an M/E bank is as follows.
