Relation to ordinary wipes
•DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore, during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask.
•A DME wipe pattern cannot be used as the source for a pattern key or mask.
Relation to processed keys
When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe. If all of the DME channels are in use, then it is not possible to select a DME wipe.
If in a Setup menu a setting has been made for DME allocation, that Setup menu setting takes precedence (see “Setting the assignments of DME channels to use on the individual M/E banks” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
Relation to resizer (for
When resizer is enabled, it is not possible to select a DME wipe.
For the key 1 and key 2, or key 3 and key 4 combinations, if one is used for a dual resizer effect, the other key cannot be used for a DME wipe.
Number of DME wipes that can be used simultaneously on a single M/E bank
DME wipes can be used in five places, including the four independent key transitions. When the DME dedicated interface is used, a maximum of two DME wipes can be used simultaneously, and when the SDI interface is used, only one DME wipe can be used at one time.
Note
When combining the SDI interface with the dedicated interface, it may be possible to use up to three wipes simultaneously.
For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface Menu)” in “Setup Relating to Switcher Processor” section of Chapter 16 (Volume2).
DME Wipe Snapshots
You can snapshot and save a DME wipe pattern together with the current settings of its modifiers and pattern limit in a dedicated register for recall when required.
There are 10 DME wipe snapshot registers for each of the M/E and P/P banks.
