Pattern limit: You can restrict the range of the transition as desired. However, this is not available for a DME wipe in the independent key transition control block.

For more details, see “Pattern Limit” (page 239).

Size: This can only be used when one of the following pattern numbers is selected.

1201 to 1204, 1251, 2651, 2652 You can set the size of the image.

Crop: You can crop the image. It is also possible in 16:9 mode to crop both sides, to convert the image to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Relation Between DME Wipes and Other Effects

The relations between DME wipes and other effects are as follows.

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.

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, but a maximum of two can be used simultaneously.

DME Wipe Snapshots

You can instantaneously save the DME wipe pattern in a special-purpose register, together with all applied modifiers and the transition rate, for recall as required.
