1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
System Introduction
The DME-7000 is a video multieffects unit which can process the
input from digital video switchers and similar equipment to
achieve a variety of sophisticated effects with no loss in picture
quality.
System Configuration
The following table lists the principal units used when operating a
DME-7000 system, and the terms used to refer to them in this
manual.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-3
Features
The following are some of the principal features of the DME-7000
system.
Three-dimensional image transformations
The system offers a range of three-dimensional processes both
with respect to the source coordinates (that is, the input video
space) and the target coordinates (that is, the video space of the
output), including shifting, rotation, and zoom functions. Smooth
and accurate manipulation is provided by the x-y trackball and Z-
ring.
Special effects functions
The following are some of the special effects you can apply to a
video image:
• Background coloring and edge effects
• Freeze and strobo effects, using recursive memory functions, and
after-image effects
• Overall image effects (“multi move,” and defocusing, for
example)
• Video and key signal transformations (negative image, mosaic
effects, etc.)
• Various non-linear effects (waves, page turns, and so forth)
Key frame effects
Picture positions and special effects can be saved as key frames.
By building a series of key frames for appropriate points on the
time axis, it is possible to create and save an effect, for which the
system automatically provides the interpolation between each
successive pair of key frames.
Simultaneous display of two menus
The menu monitor allows two whole menus to appear at the same
time. This makes it possible to display two channels together, or
to watch status settings in one menu while carrying out operations
in another.

1-4 Chapter 1 Overview
Quick menu access
The menus are arranged in a shallow hierarchy, with each group of
logically associated menus accessible from a single top-menu
button. Most on/off functions and parameter settings can be made
from a menu within one layer of top menu.
Each menu also has a page number, which makes it possible to
access any menu directly from menus in the other menu groups by
entering its page number from the numeric keypad.
Editor interfaces
It is possible to use an editing control unit such as the BVE-2000
or BVE-9100 connected to either the Sony 9-pin remote interface
or the GPI interface, for execution of key frame and other effects.
System Introduction

Chapter 1 Overview 1-5
Starting Up and Powering Off
Starting up Powering on the processor and menu monitor starts the system,
and the initial screen (see page 4-9) appears on the menu monitor.
The system is now ready for control panel and menu operations.
Start-up state
It is possible to save function on/off settings and parameter values
in nonvolatile memory, and arrange to recall these settings
automatically when the system is started.
If no such setting is made, the system starts up with the factory
default settings.
For details see “OPERATION menu” on page 10-7.
Powering off You can power off the system regardless of the current display on
the menu monitor.
Note
Do not power the unit off during any of the following operations.
• While a floppy disk is being accessed (see “Floppy Disk
Operations – 77” on page 8-19)
This may cause files on the floppy disk, or backup copies of data
in the processor (contents of effect registers or snapshot registers)
to be corrupted.
• During installation of the software (see “Installing the Software
in the Processor – 724” on page 10-42)
• While writing setup data (see “Settings Related to Operation –
702” on page 10-7)
The data being written may be corrupted. If you power the unit
off inadvertently, restart the system with the factory default
settings, then make the required settings or restore the settings by
loading again from the floppy disk.
