DPM Menu
That means you can combine up to 4 eDPM channels via the combiner and
the eDPM Video and Key signals are available at the input matrix (eD1F -
eD4F = Combined Video, eD1K - eD4K = Combined Key). It is also possible
to break down the architecture into two 2-Channel eDPMs (any channel
combination is possible), each pair with a video and key signal also avail-
able at the input matrix. Both pairs can be controlled independently. Each
of the 2-channel eDPMs can further be split into two 1-channel eDPMs. So
up to 4 individual eDPMs can be controlled independently, for example
Background or Key Transitions. Single Channel effects will appear on their
designated Video and Key outputs (at the Input Matrix), whereby any com-
bination of Multichannel effects will also combine their related Video and
Key outputs (at the Input Matrix).
For more details regarding eDPM signal routing, please refer to
The Kayak HD 8 RU mainframe provides an expansion slot that can house
a single M/E Board (PN# xxx-6631-xx or xxx-0390-xx). This hardware
option can be utilized to provide up to 4 channels of Expansion Video/Key
DPM (DVE) known as eDPM.
Note
This option is not available for the 4 RU mainframe version!
eDPM Advantages
The eDPM has some advantages over the iDPM systems. These advantages
include:
•
Video/Key combining of channels without the use of any M/E
resources.
•
The ability to have two separate combiner V/K outputs reentered into
the switcher.
•
Independent preview of combined channel outputs or channel inputs
without the need of M/E resources.
•
Separate effect creation and recall controls not associated with M/E
functions.
•
The portability of effects between systems by using independent effect
file systems independent of M/E effects.
•
The portability of effects between M/Es by using the eDPM as flexible
/ routable resource.
•
Dedicated Send and Return lines to and from the eDPM.
•
The effects features for the eDPM are identical to those available with
the Kayak HD iDPM, Kurl and Spektra options.
