3D DME eects
There are two 3D DME boards available for the XVS series
switchers:
XKS-8470 provides 2 channels of 3D eects in HD
XKS-8475 provides 1 channel of 3D eects in UHD or 4
channels in HD
The boards can be mixed and matched in the processors
as follows:
• XVS-6000 maximum 1 board can be fitted
• XVS-7000 & 8000 maximum 2 boards can be fitted
• XVS-9000 maximum 4 boards can be fitted
• Regardless of the chosen board configuration, the XVS
can control a maximum of 4 channels of DME
The 3D DME options oer all the resize, position and
rotation abilities of the inbuilt 2.5D key resizers, plus
powerful additional eects such as: slide, squeeze, flip
and tumble eects, corner pinning ,enhanced lighting
and borders. Also available are a wide range of “sparkle”
eects such as, page turns, cylinders, ripple, broken glass,
trails, sphere, kaleidoscope, sketch, draw, various “texture”
eects as well as strobe and film-like eects.
The DME channels “float” inside the processor and can be
assigned to any keyer or to the output of an M/E bus.
(note - Not all HD eects are currently available on the
XKS-8475 UHD DME card)
ME resources
Each ME board provides the following features:
HD operation (1080/50i or 1080/50P)
• Configurable as one single M/E with 8 keyers or
two independent M/E banks with 4 keyers per ME
(selectable in the set-up menu)
• Every keyer includes chroma, luma, linear, pattern and
colour vector keying
• Every keyer has inbuilt 2.5D resizer for size, position
and X or Y rotation and perspective
• Borders, drop shadows, defocus and further eects
are also available on the resizers
UHD operation
• Single M/E with two full and two sub keyers
• Each full keyer has the same specification as in HD
mode
• Each sub keyer provides luminance / linear keying
only without resizing
Chroma keying is standard on
every full keyer
Each keyer includes a 2.5D resizer with
rotation and border, useful for
picture-in-picture images. Defocus and
mosaic eects can also be used for
identity concealment.
Using the resizer in each keyer, a
chromakey can be resized and positioned
to produce the required image eect.
