Operation mode setting

•Single Proc mode: The control panel controls a single switcher and up to two DMEs.

•Single Simul mode: See “Special system setting (Single Processor Simul mode)” (page 188).

•Dual Simul mode: The control panel controls two switchers and DMEs simultaneously.

Device hierarchical relationship setting

•Panel Assign: Specify the switcher controlled by a control panel.

•Switcher Assign: Specify the DME connected to a switcher.

Special system setting (Single Processor Simul mode)

When using a combination of a 4M/E switcher processor and a 4-channel DME processor in an HD system, the Single Processor Simul mode is available. In this mode, M/E-1 on the switcher processor is linked to M/E-3, and M/E-2 is linked to P/P. As a result, the M/E-1 and M/E-2 panel buttons go off, and cannot be operated.

In this mode, the screen aspect ratio is fixed, as follows.

Relation between switcher and DME: Operations are linked with the screen aspect ratios the same.

Notes

•The waveforms for wipe pattern numbers 23, 24, 26, and 27 are the same in 4:3 and 16:9 modes.

•Color backgrounds, frame memory, and other functions used on the whole switcher operate at 16:9.

Note on creating a user programmable DME: The keyframe registers used for creating a user programmable DME are divided by screen aspect ratio as shown in the following table.
