DME Toolbox

4 • • Features and Benefits
The DME-3000 and DME-7000 are artistic devices — for talented and creative
video professionals. Whether the application is post, production, or remote, a DME
effect can make the difference between an average transition and a spectacular one
— between an average commercial and one that gets attention, and gets results!
Its difficult to summarize just how important the DME-series has become to the
creative aspect of video production — 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!
Granted, the DME-series has spectacular effects, including Digital SKETCH
™
Digital SPARKLE , and with the DME-7000, Advanced Shadow
Granted, the DME-series offers superb system integration through DME-LINK
™
Keyframe-LINK and the powerful Processed Key functions offered by the DVS-
2000C and DVS-7000 series switchers.
These criteria alone, however, are not enough to convince a customer that the DME
is the right decision. There's one more important factor — high quality real time
image manipulation.
Regardless of the application, image quality is the main ingredient in the DME's
digital mix. No matter how spectacular the page turn, if the matchframe to the
source isn't transparent — if the image quality isn't crisp — the effect loses its
impact (and the customer can see the difference)!
Compact yet sophisticated, with a dynamic effects package backed by superb image
quality, the DME-series is the right choice — an artistic device for talented
professionals.
This section reviews the wealth of basic and advanced features found in the DME-
3000 and DME-7000's digital effects toolbox.

Picture Quality

The DME-series provides brilliant images and superb picture manipulation
capabilities. A number of innovative engineering and design factors make this
possible.
The DME-3000 sets the standard for Sony's digital effects devices:
•
Input Processing — All primary video and key signals are processed
in 4:2:2:4 mode with 10-bit resolution.
•
Interpolation — Image interpolation uses an adaptive process that
compensates for motion in the processed picture.
•
Filtering — To prevent noise, a high quality 33 x 33 multi-point anti-
aliasing filter adjusts the bandwidth in proportion to the image
transform.
