Use the device control block to carry out three-dimensional DME
transformations.
For details of three-dimensional DME coordinate space, see “Three-

16 Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space
1 With the region selection buttons, select the target channel of the
operation.
You can press several of the buttons simultaneously to select several
channels. In this case, the button that you pressed first lights in green,
while buttons pressed subsequently light in amber.
2 With the function assignment buttons, select the three-dimensional
coordinate space in which to perform the transformation.
LOCAL button: Selects local coordinate space.
GLB button: Selects global coordinate space. You can select this button
and the [LOCAL] button simultaneously.
SRC button: Selects the source coordinate space.
TRGT button: Selects the target coordinate space.
([SRC] and [TRGT] cannot be selected at the same time.)
3 Press the button for the operation you want to do, turning it on, to select
the transformation mode.
The trackball and Z-ring are assigned to the selected three-dimensional
coordinate space transformation mode.
For details of the three-dimensional transformation operation modes, see
“Transformation Operation Modes” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).
To move the image: Press the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on.
You can move the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
move it on the z-axis with the Z-ring. Pressing the [LOC SIZE] button
instead of the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on, makes it possible to
move the image on the x- and y-axes.
To rotate the image: Press the [ROT] button, turning it on.
You can rotate the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
rotate it on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To rotate the image in Spin mode, press the [ROT] button, turning it
on, while holding down the [SHIFT] button. You can operate in the
same way with the trackball and Z-ring.
To move an axis of rotation: With the [SRC] button selected in step 2,
press the [AXIS LOC] button, turning it on.
You can move the axis of rotation of the image on the x- and y-axes of
the image with the trackball, and on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To magnify or shrink the image: Press the [LOC SIZE] button, turning
it on.
You can magnify and shrink the image with the Z-ring. Rotate
counterclockwise to shrink, and clockwise to magnify.

17Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Chapter 11 DME Operations
To change the aspect ratio of the image: With the [SRC] button selected
in step 2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on.
You can change the aspect ratio independently on the x- and y-axes
with the trackball, and change it simultaneously on both the x- and y-
axes with the Z-ring.
To change the perspective on the image: With the [TRGT] button
selected in step 2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on.
You can change the perspective of the image on the x- and y-axes with
the trackball, and change the distance to the view point with the Z-
ring.
To change the skew of the image: With the [SRC] button selected in step
2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on, while holding down the
[SHIFT] button.
You can change the skew of the image along the x- and y-axes with
the trackball.
4 Depending on the axis of the change, operate the trackball and Z-ring as
follows.
• To change on the x-axis, rotate the trackball horizontally.
Parameter values increase as you rotate to the right, and decrease as you
rotate to the left.
• To change on the y-axis, rotate the trackball vertically.
Parameter values increase as you rotate upward, and decrease as you
rotate downward.
• To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring.
Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you
rotate counterclockwise.
However, when you have pressed the [LOC XYZ] button to move the

Chapter 11 DME Operations
18 Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and
decrease as you rotate clockwise.
To reduce the rate of change of the parameters (fine mode)
Carry out the trackball or Z-ring operations while holding down the [SRC]
or [TRGT] button.
5 To restrict the change in the transformation to a specific axis, press the [X],
[Y], or [Z] button, tuning it on.
This enables the trackball and Z-ring operations on the selected axis only.

Three-Dimensional Parameter Display
You can check the values of the three-dimensional parameters in the DME
menu.
Displaying the three-dimensional parameters in the DME menu
In the menu control block, select the top menu selection button [DME].
The DME menu appears. The status area shows the three-dimensional
parameters currently controlled by the device control block.
• When multiple DME channels are selected, this shows the parameters for the
reference channel.
• When both Global and Local are selected, the three-dimensional parameters
are shown for the channel (the reference channel) for which the button is lit
green.
Example three-dimensional parameter display (DME menu)
Viewing the three-dimensional parameter details
In the DME menu, press the menu title button (the [DME] in the upper left part
of the screen).
The Status menu appears. This menu shows the three-dimensional parameters
for the DME reference channel currently selected in the device control block.
