DMEs 10 Chapter Overview DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add threedimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. Up to four DME channels are available. Multiple DME channels can be combined, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
