Digital Multi Effects (DME)

DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these 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.

Functions that can be used differ with the models of DME. For details, see “Functional Differences With Models of DME” in the Appendix (Volume 2).

MVE-8000A Multi Format DME Processor

The MVE-8000A is a “Digital Multi Effects” with multi-format support. For the MVE-8000A, a dedicated interface (MKE-9020M) is available to enable the MVE-8000A to be used in an MVS-8000 series switcher.

Installation of an optional MKE-8021A Input/Output Board in the MVE- 8000A provides an SDI interface.

Note

When using the SDI interface, the following operations are required.

•Setting the interface between the MVE-8000A and the switcher.

See “Setting the interface between the DME and the switcher” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).

•Setting the input signals from the switcher to the MVE-8000A (AUX bus outputs), and signals returned to the switcher as primary inputs (reentry inputs). However, “Ext In” cannot be set for the DME channel.

See “Setting the AUX bus output and reentry input” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).

•Selecting the combiner channels not in the key control block, but in the Global Effect menu.

See “Combiner Settings” in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).

MVE-9000 Multi Format DME Processor

The MVE-9000 is a “Digital Multi Effects” with multi-format support.

Two interfaces are available for the MVE-9000: a dedicated interface (MKE- 9020M) for use in an MVS-8000 series switcher, and an SDI interface (MKE- 9021M).
