DME
Operations
Displaying the three-dimensional
parameters in the DME menu
In the menu control block, select the top menu selection
button [DME].
The DME menu appears. The status area shows the three-
dimensional parameters currently controlled by the device
control block.
• When multiple DME channels are selected, this shows
the parameters for the reference channel.
• When both Global and Local are selected, the three-
dimensional parameters are shown for the channel (the
reference channel) for which the button is lit green.
Type of three-
dimensional space
a)
Operation mode for
three-dimensional
transforms
b)
Value of X
Value of Y
Value of Z
a)
This shows one of Local Target, Local Source, Global Target,
and Global Source.
b)
This shows one of Loc XYZ, Loc Size, Rot, Spin, Axis Loc,
Skew, Asp, and Pers.
Example three-dimensional parameter display (DME menu)
Viewing the three-dimensional parameter
details
In the DME menu, press the menu title button (the [DME]
in the upper left part of the screen).
The Status menu appears. This menu shows the three-
dimensional parameters for the DME reference channel
currently selected in the device control block.
Example three-dimensional parameter details
Entering Three-Dimensional
Parameter Values
In addition to setting three-dimensional parameter values
with the trackball and Z-ring, you can enter them directly
from the numeric keypad control block.
Entering three-dimensional parameter
values
1
In the device control block, press the [X], [Y], or [Z]
button, turning it on.
The numeric keypad control block enters a mode in
which you can enter parameters for the selected axis.
2
Enter a parameter value with the numeric keypad.
The number of significant digits after a decimal point
is four.
3
Press the [ENTER] button.
The parameter value is changed, and the image
changes.
To enter difference values
You can enter difference values by pressing the [+/–]
button, entering the difference from the current value, and
pressing the [TRIM] button to confirm. The [+/–] button
toggles between “+” (plus) and “–” (minus) each time it is
pressed.
Resetting three-dimensional parameter
values
Pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block sets
the current three-dimensional parameter values to the
closest detent points (page 271).
To reset three-dimensional parameter values to the
defaults (page 271) for the current transformation
operation mode, press the [CTR] button twice in rapid
succession.
Clearing the working buffer
The working buffer is memory that holds the instantaneous
state of an effect. To clear (initialize) only the three-
dimensional transform parameters in the working buffer,
press the [CLR WORK BUFR] button in the device
control block.
To clear all of the parameters in the working buffer and
initialize the DME system, press the [CLR WORK BUFR]
button twice in rapid succession. It is necessary to do this
for both the local coordinate space and global coordinate
space.
