DME Wipes

A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next.

There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition.

For independent key transitions, see page 37.

Note

On the MVS-8000G, it is also possible to carry out a DME wipe on a key using the resizer (see page 58).

Types of DME Wipe Pattern

The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad classes. Preset patterns: predetermined fixed patterns

User programmable DME patterns: patterns which you can create using keyframe effects

DME wipe execution mode and pattern numbers that can be used

There are three DME wipe execution modes, depending on the number of DME channels available: one-channel mode, two-channel mode and three- channel mode. The pattern numbers that can be used in these modes are as follows.

DME wipe pattern groups

The patterns used in DME wipes fall into the following groups.

For each group (excluding user programmable DMEs), for schematic patterns and numbers, see “DME Wipe Pattern List” in Appendix (Volume 1) (page 566). The black part of the pattern represents the old video, and the white part the new video, with the wipe taking place in the direction of the arrow.
