This unit allows you to apply various effects when 
switching video, and compose images using keys.
Adjustments and configurations during video switching 
are performed from the following menus.

In addition, this unit includes three video composition 
blocks, M/E (Mix/Effect), Aux1, and Aux2. By using 
Aux1 or Aux2, you can mix video (PGM) created with M/
E (Mix/Effect) with another video.

You can specify the transition type that is used when you 
perform effect transitions.
You can select any of the following transition types.
Wipe: Use a wipe to switch from the current output image 

to a new image.

NAM (Non-Additive Mix): Compare the current image 

and new image signals, and gives priority to the signal 
with the highest luminance level in the output.
For the first half of the transition, the current image is 
maintained at 100% and NAM is gradually performed 
for the new image. At the halfway point, NAM is 
performed for both images which are maintained at 
100%. In the second half, the new image is maintained 
at 100% and NAM is performed while the current 
image is gradually reduced.

DME (Digital Multi Effects): Use DME effects to 

switch the image currently being output in a manner 
that appears as if it is being wiped (DME wipe).
