DME Wipes
Overview
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses an image
transformation effect to change from one video image to
the next.
There are two types of DME wipe: those that can be
selected in a common transition, and those that can be
selected in an independent key transition (1 p. 97).
You can use a resizer in a DME wipe (called a “resizer
DME wipe”) in a transition on the key selected by a next
transition button or in an independent key transition.
• Resizer DME wipes can only be set for keys that support
resizer/key edge.
• Resizer DME wipes cannot be used on keys where
resizer is enabled.
• A setting in the Setup menu is required in order to use
DME wipes with a background selected for a next
transition. In this case, Key1 cannot be used on the
corresponding bank. The setting is configured in the
Engineering Setup >Switcher >Config menu (7331)
(1 p. 241).
• When the screen aspect ratio is 4:3 in HD format, the
video shrinks to fit on a 16:9 screen, including added
video on the left and right sides. Use the crop function as
required to extract the 4:3 image.
Types of DME Wipe Pattern
You can use DME wipe patterns that execute in one-
channel mode. DME wipe patterns fall into the following
groups.
For schematic patterns and numbers of each group,
1 “DME Wipe Pattern List” (p. 264) and 1 “Resizer
DME Wipe Pattern List” (p. 265).

Used in backgrounds
Used in keys
Slide The new video slides in over the old video. 1001 to 1008 7001 to 7008
Squeeze The new video appears squeezed over the old video,
and progressively expands to cover it.
1021 to 1031 7021 to 7031
Door The new video moves like a door closing, and
progressively covers the old video.

Flip tumble The old video rotates about an axis and is replaced
by the new video. During the transition, the signal
from the utility bus of the M/E bank appears as the
background.
1101, 1102 —
Frame in-out Completed in two transitions. In the first transition,
the new video appears, then on the second transition
the new video goes out and the old video returns.

Picture-in-picture Completes in two transitions. In the first transition,
the old video shrinks, and the new video appears
behind it. In the second transition, the old video
expands again until it is its original size.
