Up to four DME channels in a single unit
DME boards can be installed to enable up to four
independent DME channels in a single unit, for space
savings and energy efficiency. Because there are multiple
internal channels, 2-channel and 3-channel effects can be
applied without making any special connections.
Linked operation with switcher processor
This unit is connected to the MVS-8000 Multi Format
Switcher Processor by a special cable, which allows DME
wipes, processed keys and a wide variety of other DME
effects to be used as if they were switcher functions. All
DME operations can be controlled from the MVS-8000
system’s center control panel.
