DMEs 12 Chapter Overview DME function DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add threedimensional transforms such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as special effects. Multiple DME channels can be also combined, which allows you to create complex and advanced effects. To use the DME function, the MZS-X1610 3D DME License (option) is required for each target box. When the system signal format is 2160P, the DME function must be enabled for use. For details about setting GPU functions, see "Setting a GPU" (page 363). Enhanced function mode Depending on the DME effect, an enhanced function DME may be required. To use an enhanced function DME, set the DME channel to enhanced function mode. When the system signal format is 2160P, only DME channels 1 and 3 can be set to enhanced function mode. When the system signal format is 1080P or 1080i, only DME channels 1 and 2 can be set to enhanced function mode. When enhanced function mode is enabled, the number of DME channels that can be used is reduced. For details about setting enhanced function mode, see "Setting DME Channel Enhanced Function Mode" (page 364). DME channels The number of DME channels that can be used will vary, depending on the system signal format, switcher configuration, and enhanced function mode settings. For details about the number of supported channels, see "Number of Switcher Resources" (page 501). When the system signal format is 2160P, a box DME can be set for use as DME Ch1/Ch2 or as DME Ch3/Ch4 using the Home > Setup > Switcher > Box Settings > DME/FM Channel Assign menu (19103.53). For details about assigning a DME channel, see "Setting DME/Frame Memory Channels" (page 399). If you operate a channel on another box that has the same channel configured, the operation of the boxes is linked. External input (Ext In) The signal that is input on DME Ext In (AUX bus output) is set in the Home > Setup > Switcher > DME Interface menu (19103.31) menu. For details about Ext In settings, see "Setting a DME External Input (Ext In)" (page 393). Three-Dimensional Transforms An operation that moves, rotates, or resizes an image in three-dimensional space is called a three-dimensional transform. Three-dimensional space Source space and target space Images are arranged in one of two types of space: source space and target space. Source space: Three-dimensional space with the image as reference The X- and Y-axes are defined along the plane of the image, and the Z-axis is defined perpendicular to the plane of the image. When you move an image, the coordinate axes also move. Target space: Three-dimensional space with the monitor screen as reference The X- and Y-axes are defined as the horizontal and vertical to the plane of the monitor screen, and the Z-axis is defined perpendicular to the plane of the monitor screen. The coordinate axes do not change even if an image moves. 194
