DME Wipes

   

Cha

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.

On the MVS-8000G, it is also possible to carry out a DME wipe on a key using 
the resizer (see page 58).

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

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.

The patterns used in DME wipes fall into the following groups.

For each group (excluding user programmable DMEs), for schematic patterns 
and numbers, see “DME Wipe Pattern List” in Appendix (Volume 1) (page 
566). The black part of the pattern represents the old video, and the white part 
the new video, with the wipe taking place in the direction of the arrow.
