Three different boxes? Three different control panels and user-interfaces? How about one, with the capability to handle all these requirements. Sony’s “DME” series of Digital Multi Effects devices provides the answer. Both the DME-3000 and DME-7000 deliver superb picture quality plus a wide variety of effects — with the advantage of one simple control panel, human interface, and operating style! To assist you with assembling the optimum DME system for your customer’s needs,...

SONY • Chapter 2 — Configuration Guide This chapter provides itemized descriptions of DME-3000 and DME- 7000 features and options to assist with configuration planning. Two quotation request forms are included to simplify the ordering process. • Chapter 3 — Installation Guide This chapter offers information and diagrams to assist with facility engineering and equipment integration requirements.
This appendix provides tables and descriptions of many DME features. Note that some features described in the following sections may apply only when the Sony DME-3000 and DME-7000 are used with Sony DVS-7000 Series, DVS- 2000C, BVE-2000, and BVE-9100 systems.
— from simple fixes (transparent to the viewer), to remarkable “look at me” effects, ripe with creativity. One thing is clear, however — the decision to buy a DME-3000 or DME-7000 is not based exclusively on the number of tricks in the digital effects toolbox! ™...
Whether the operator is re-positioning a graphic, designing a spectacular multi-channel move, solving a visual problem, or bringing a complex storyboard to life, a DME must have the necessary tools at hand. Sony’s DME-series delivers, with a full range of 2-D and 3-D tools.

The third mode (Target Spotlight) lights both the page and the turning edge of the image. With the benefit of the DME-3000’s lighting effects, the resulting image greatly increases the viewers perception of realism. The figure below illustrates the different video paths when each lighting mode is enabled.
Explosion, Swirl, Multi-Mirror, Twist, and Kaleidoscope are provided. DME-7000 Effects The DME-7000’s toolbox adds even more creative effects: • Effect File Converter — An effect file converter is provided for effect interchangeability between DME-3000 and DME-7000 systems. • ™ Advanced Shadow Effects — With the BKDM-7070 board installed, more natural shadows can be created with precise 3-D positioning, perspective and depth defocus.
Page 14
BKDM- 7060 and BKDM-7070 boards installed. • Advanced Lighting Effects — Building on the DME-3000’s lighting capabilities (with two independent light sources), the DME-7000 adds advanced spot light effects (providing a total of three light sources).
Key Channel Input With the optional BKDM-3060 (for DME-3000) or BKDM-7060 (for DME-7000) installed, the DME-series processes externally supplied keys in parallel with the video. This option allows you fly key and fill signals supplied by external devices such as character generators and graphics systems.
— 998 on the DME-7000 and 680 on the DME-3000. Once created, effects can be stored in up to 99 registers (on both systems). And, because almost all digital effects require some degree of fine-tuning once they are programmed, a full complement of keyframe and motion path tools are available including linear, spline, smooth and step.
Editor Interface To underscore Sony’s advanced systems integration, the DME-series can be serially controlled (just like a VTR) from the Sony BVE-2000, the BVE-9100, and editing systems from many other manufacturers. Taking control one step further, the BVE- 9100 system offers full keyframe control including keyframe modification.
Input Source Control Input source control is the ability to change images on a keyframe-by-keyframe basis or on an edge switch. DME-3000 and DME-7000 can provide input source control through a variety of methods, for example, an internal A/B switch may be utilized.
