The FSN Series’ optional DVE provides up to four channels of internal 2D special effects. You can create PIPs, size and position images, add borders and shadows, and create single or dual keyframe effects. Up to two DVE cards can be installed in the chassis.

Understanding DVE workflow is a simple four-step process:

1.Assign DVE Channels — Using the DVE Assign Menu, assign available DVE channels to specific keyers on the panel. This paradigm enables you to treat DVE channels just like key sources, in terms of source selection and transitions.

Note

Once your channel assignments have been made, you may not need to change them during your production. However, as required, you can store different sets of DVE channel assignments by using the SYS category in the memory system — and change them as needed during a show.

Refer to the “Assigning DVE Channels to Keyers” section on page 389 for expanded instructions on assigning DVE channels.

2.Select the Keyer Mode — On the Keyer Menu, select a keyer that has a DVE channel assigned, and enable or disable the DVE.

~DVE Off — If the DVE is disabled, the keyer behaves in the normal way. Key sources that you select on the associated Key Bus cannot be sized, positioned or placed in a PIP.

~DVE On — If the DVE is enabled, Key sources that you select on the Key Bus are routed through the DVE. Two modes are available:

•In Key Mode, the Keyer Menu’s clip, gain and fill controls are enabled as normal. Using the DVE Menu, you have partial effect functionality. The key can be sized and positioned, and keyframes can be programmed, but you cannot PIP, border, or shadow the key.

•In PIP Mode, the Keyer Menu’s clip, gain and fill controls are disabled, and the key source is placed in a PIP. Using the DVE Menu, you have full effect functionality.

Refer to the “Selecting the Keyer Mode” section on page 390 for expanded instructions on choosing the right keyer mode.
