Special system setting (Single Simul mode)
When using a combination of a 4M/E switcher processor and a 4-channel DME
processor in an HD system, the Single Simul mode is available. In this mode,
M/E-1 on the switcher processor is linked to M/E-3, and M/E-2 is linked to P/
P. As a result, the M/E-1 and M/E-2 panel buttons go off, and cannot be
operated.
In this mode, the screen aspect ratio is fixed, as follows.
Relation between switcher and DME: Operations are linked with the screen
aspect ratios the same.
Notes
• The waveforms for wipe pattern numbers 23, 24, 26, and 27 are the same
in 4:3 and 16:9 modes.
• Color backgrounds, frame memory, and other functions used on the
whole switcher operate at 16:9.
Note on creating a user programmable DME: The keyframe registers used
for creating a user programmable DME are divided by screen aspect ratio
as shown in the following table.
The actual operation is linked between the top and bottom rows of the table
(e.g. M/E-3 and M/E-1), but the common setting values cannot be used
between the two screen aspect ratios. The edges of the screen, for example,
differ between 16:9 and 4:3.
For image operations in the device control block, first make the settings
separately on the different channels.
Recalling a user programmable DME: When recalling a user programmable
DME, select pattern numbers 1901 to 1949, 2901 to 2949, or 3901 to 3949.
The effects for the 16:9 and 4:3 screen aspect ratios will be recalled linked
together.
