Side Flags 
The term “side flags” refers to the areas to left and right of
 
an image with aspect ratio 4:3 embedded within a 16:9
 
frame, when these areas are filled with a separate image
 
selected from the utility bus. 
Creation of Special 
Effects and Management 
 
   
of Data and Operations 
 
   
 
This section introduces functions used for creation of
 
special effects, control of external devices or switcher
 
operations, and data management. 
 
 
Digital Multi Effects (DME) 
When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add
 
three-dimensional effects such as image movement,
 
rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide
 
variety of special effects. 
Each channel can be used on its own or in combination
 
with other channels, which allows you to create advanced
 
effects with more complexity. 
 
The following types of DME special effects are available. 
•
 
Edge effects: Border, Crop, Beveled Edge, Key Border,
 
Art Edge, Flex Shadow, Drop Shadow 
•
 
Effects for entire image: Defocus, Blur, Multi Move 
•
 
Effects for video image: Sepia, Mono, Posterization,
 
Solarization, Nega, Contrast, Mosaic, Mask, Sketch,
 
Metal, Dim and Fade, Glow 
•
 
Freeze effects 
•
 
Nonlinear effects: Wave, Mosaic Glass, Flag, Twist,
 
Ripple, Rings, Broken Glass, Flying Bar, Blind, Split,

Global Effects 
Global effects are special effects created by combining the
 
images of successive channels. Combiner, Brick, and
 
Shadow global effects are available.
