Chapter 6 DME Wipes
338
Overview
Overview
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one
video image to the next.
There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal
transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition.
For details of independent key transitions, see page 191.
Notes
It is also possible to carry out a DME wipe on a key using the resizer (see page
364).
Types of DME Wipe Pattern
The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad classes.
Preset patterns: predetermined fixed patterns
User programmable DME patterns: patterns which you can create using
keyframe effects
DME wipe execution mode and pattern numbers that can be used
There are three DME wipe execution modes, depending on the number of
DME channels available: one-channel mode, two-channel mode and three-
channel mode. The pattern numbers that can be used in these modes are as
follows.
Notes
When the signal format is 1080P, three-channel mode cannot be used.
DME wipe pattern groups
The patterns used in DME wipes fall into the following groups.
