DME Effects for Keys
DME restrictions
• When the switcher signal format is 3840×2160P SQD or 
3840×2160PsF SQD, the DME function cannot be used.
• There are restrictions on the number of DME channels 
that can be used and on the functions, depending on the 
switcher and signal format.
For differences in functions by switcher, see “XVS-9000/
8000/7000/6000 System Configuration Comparison” 
(page 525).
For details about restrictions for 4K format, see “4K 
Format Restrictions” (page 527).
• The number of keys to which DME effects (including 
DME wipes) can be applied simultaneously for one M/E 
bank varies as follows depending on the execution mode 
of the DME wipe pattern selected for the background.
When the signal format is 3840×2160P 2SI, DME 
effects (including DME wipes) can be used 
simultaneously in only one place on an M/E bank. When 
not using background DME wipes, DME effects can be 
used on either key 1 or key 2.
• If an image effect is set, the number of keys that can 
simultaneously use a DME on an M/E bank is restricted 
(see page 196).
• You cannot use DME effects on a key for which the 
resizer function is enabled. Disable the resizer using the 
M/E-1 >Key1 >Resizer menu (1115).
