Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space
Use the following procedure.
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.

15Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Chapter 11 DME Operations
You can magnify and shrink the image with the Z-ring. Rotate
counterclockwise to shrink, and clockwise to magnify.
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.

Chapter 11 DME Operations
16 Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
• 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
image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and
decrease as you rotate clockwise.
Ifyou hold down the [SRC] or[TRGT]buttonwhilecarryingouttheabove
operations, the rate of change of the parameters is reduced. (Fine mode)
5 To restrict the change in thetransformationto 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.

Entering Three-Dimensional Parameter Values
In addition to setting three-dimensional parameter values with the trackball and
Z-ring, you can enter them directly from the numeric keypad control block.
Entering three-dimensional parameter values
Use the following procedure.
1 In the device control block, press the [X], [Y], or [Z] button, turning it on.
The numeric keypad control block enters a mode in which you can enter
parameters for the selected axis.

19Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Chapter 11 DME Operations
2 Enter a parameter value with the numeric keypad.
The number of significant digits after a decimal point is 4.
3 Press the [ENTER] button.
The parameter value is changed, and the image changes.
To enter difference values
You can enter difference values by pressing the [+/−] button, entering the
difference from the current value, and pressing the [TRIM] button to confirm.
The [+/−] button toggles between “+” (plus) and “−” (minus) each time it is
pressed.
Resetting three-dimensional parameter values
Pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block sets the current three-
dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points.
To reset three-dimensional parameter values to the defaults for the current
transformation operation mode, press the [CTR] button twice in rapid
succession. (For details of detents and default values, see “Three-Dimensional
Transformations” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).)
Clearing the working buffer
The working buffer is memory that holds the instantaneous state of an effect.
To clear (initialize) only the three-dimensional transform parameters in the
working buffer, press the [CLR WORK BUFR] button in the device control
block.
To clear all of the parameters in the working buffer and initialize the DME
system, press the [CLR WORK BUFR] button twice in rapid succession. It is
necessary to do this for both the local coordinate space and global coordinate
space.
As the initial DME state, you can specify whether to use the factory default
settings or user settings in the Setup menu. (See “Selecting the State After
Powering On (Start Up Menu)” (page 205).)
Graphics Display
You can display graphics such as a wireframe, coordinate axis,and a grid over
the currentDME image. This makes it easier to set up transformations, because
you can operate while viewing the coordinate axes and the position of the
image in three-dimensional coordinate space. (For the types of graphics
displayed, see “Graphics Display” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).)
