Customizing Dme Effects; Changing The Position, Shape, And Size Of Images - Sony DFS-900M Operating Instructions Manual

Customizing DME Effects

You can use the DME menu to customize the DME effects
(digital multi effects) used in transition and key operations.
DME effects allow you to change the position, size, and
shape of images in three-dimensional space.
This switcher provides six DME channels. Each channel
can be used independently, and channels can also be
combined to create more complex and sophisticated
effects. The number of DME channels currently in use
appears at the upper right of the display panel (Now Using
DMEs=number of channels).
Adjustment
• Change position, shape, and
size.
• Set up DME channel.
Add borders.
Change color type (Chroma
Control).
Adjust 3D DME warp effects.
Add lighting effects.
Register user patterns.
For information about how to select DME wipe patterns,
see "Switching with Wipe and DME Wipe Transitions"
(page 115) or "Inserting Keys by a Wipe or DME Wipe
Transition" (page 127).
For information about how to apply DME effects to keys,
see "Applying DME Effects to Keys" (page 129).
Note
Customizations to DME effects are lost when the settings
of the switcher are reset and when the switcher is powered
off. If you want to reuse customized DME effects, register
them as events.
