For the setting operations, see “Setting DME Wipe Modifiers” (page 261).

Direction: You can set the DME wipe direction to normal, reverse, or alternating normal/reverse (page 49), except for a key transition, which is always in normal/reverse mode.

Border: You can apply a border or soft border (see page 50), except for DME wipes in the independent key transition control block with which this modifier cannot be used.

In the case of a user programmable DME pattern in which a border has already been applied to the effect, the behavior is as follows.

•When the DME wipe border setting is ON, only part of the border applied in the effect is enabled, and that portion can be adjusted.

•When the DME wipe border setting is OFF, the border applied in the effect is enabled as is.

Positioner: This can only be used when pattern number 1031 (squeeze) is selected. With the progress of the transition, the center of the pattern automatically moves from its initially set position toward the center of the image (see page 51). That is to say, the same effect is obtained as in a normal wipe when the positioner is set to “AUTO CENTER.”

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 189).

Creating User Programmable DME Patterns

With a user programmable DME, you can use DME effects created through the use of keyframes for a transition on the switcher system.

Note the following points when creating a keyframe effect for use as a user programmable DME pattern.

Register numbers and pattern numbers

When saving a keyframe effect as a user programmable DME pattern, specify the register number that corresponds to the pattern number as shown in the following table.

Execution mode

Register number

Pattern number

 

 

 

One-channel mode

101 to 199

1901 to 1999

 

 

 

Two-channel mode

201 to 299

2901 to 2999

 

 

 

For details of registers and key frame effects, see “Registers” (page 106) and Chapter 13 “Keyframe Effects” (Volume 2), respectively.
