Multi-Channel Operation

You could be spoiled by the DME-series! No sooner will you be flying one channel
— then you'll want to fly additional channels for even more dramatic effects. The
DME-series makes it possible, with convenience, and the optional BKDM-3050
combiner board.
•
Up to two DME-3000 channels can be controlled and combined from
one BKDM-3010 control panel.
•
Up to four channels of DME-7000 can be controlled and combined
from one BKDM-3010 control panel, providing up to eight images on
screen. In addition, the DME-7000 can access up to two DME-3000
channels, in place of two of the four DME-7000 channels.

Multi-Pause

Multiple pause points may be applied to each channel's timeline. This allows you
to pause and manually re-start timelines as required, providing superb flexibility
when timing DME effects to external events that may not start at predictable times
— for example, an audience reaction during a show. Pauses on different timelines
may be staggered, per the requirements of your effect.
Note that the multi-pause feature is scheduled for release in the spring of 1998.

Effects Register Recall Menu

This feature provides a shot box that can be programmed with 24 effects. Each
effect can be instantly recalled and run from the BKDM-3010 control panel, or from
the user-supplied mouse.

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. In addition, control is provided for input source selection from switcher
AUX buses, or dedicated input routers (such as the DVS-V1201 or BVS-V1201).
An additional feature is the ability to hold (prevent the switch) of the input source
on a keyframe-by-keyframe basis.
Note that input source selection for external video sources can only be performed
from a switcher AUX bus.
