iDPM Operations
iDPM Operations
Karrera has two types of DPMs (Digital Picture Manipulator) options avail-
able, iDPMs (Internal) that are available by floating license on the first four
keyers of each ME for a maximum of sixteen (on a 4-ME system) and
eDPMs (Extended), four combined or independent DPM channels that can
be mapped to separate source select buttons or delegated to any of the six
keyers on any ME (see eDPM Operations
on page 111 ).
If any iDPM channels less than the maximum are licensed, then those iDPM
channels can be used on any of the first four keyers of an ME. For example,
if you only have two floating iDPM Channels licensed on a 2-ME system,
the two iDPM Channels can be assigned to two of Keyers 1-4 on one full ME
or one keyer on each of the two full MEs.
Note iDPMs and eDPMs are software options (and also hardware in the case of
eDPM) and must be enabled in the Eng Setup, Install Options menu when
purchased.
iDPMs can be activated and controlled in the Menu Panel and the Multi-
Function area. Most but not all of the functions are common.
Multi-Function Area iDPM Delegation
The Multi-Function area in the Karrera Control Panel can be delegated to
activate and control iDPM Channels. The Multi-Function Area can be del-
egated in any of the following ways:
• Press any keyer button in the Source Select area (above the Source Select
buttons) of the desired ME,
• Press any keyer button in the Multi-Function Area (second button row
from the top), or
• Touch to select the ME in the ME , Mode menu in the Karrera menu.
Turn on the Keyer iDPM
To turn on the iDPM for one or more keyers in the Multi-Function area,

iDPM
On button or press and hold down a keyer button while selecting additional
keyer buttons and then press the iDPM On button ( Figure 30 ).
Note The DPM button will also place the Multi-Function area into DPM mode.
