DME Wipes
Overview
A DME wipe is an effect that uses a DME effect to switch
from the current output image to a new image.
There are two types of DME wipes: those that can be
selected in a common transition, and those that can be
selected in an independent key transition.
You can also execute a DME wipe using a resizer (resizer
DME wipe) in transitions and independent key transitions
where a key is selected (inserted/removed) as the result of
the transition (next transition event).
For 4K format, only resizer DME wipes are supported.
Types of DME Wipe Patterns
The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad
classes.
Preset patterns: Patterns with predetermined effects
User programmable DME patterns: Patterns that you
create using keyframe effects (see page 155)
DME wipe pattern groups
DME wipe patterns are classified into the following
groups.
Note
Pattern group Effect
Slide The new video slides in over the old video.
Squeeze The new video appears reduced over the old video, and is progressively enlarged to
cover it.
Split The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap.
Door The new video moves like a door closing, and progressively covers the old video.
Flip Tumble The old video rotates about an axis and is replaced by the new video. During the
transition, the signal from the utility 2 bus of the M/E bank appears as the
background.
Mirror The new video appears over the old video as a mirror effect slides in all four
directions.
Sphere The new video appears wrapped around a sphere over the old video. Next, the
picture returns to the source video while unwrapping.
Character Trail The new video appears over the old video, as if leaving a trail. Next, the picture
gradually returns to the source from the periphery.
Wave The new video appears with a wave-like effect over the old video. Next, the picture
returns to the source video as the effect reduces.
Ripple The new video appears over the old video like outwardly moving ripples.
Page Turn The old video moves like a page turning, and the new video appears behind it.
Roll The new video unrolls like a scroll over the old video. This is a type of page turn.
Frame I/O Completed in two transitions. In the first transition, the new video appears, then on
the second transition the new video goes out and the source video returns.
