About eDPMs

About eDPMs

The GV Switcher eDPM option is like an external two channel DVE built
into the switcher. Either of the outputs (eDA for the Primary Partition and
eDC for the Secondary Partition) can be combined and composited for re-
entry, allowing multiple eDPM Channels on one keyer. eDPM channels run
on their own timelines which makes this feature very flexible.

Combining iDPMs with eDPMs can be very powerful. With the addition of
eDPMs, you could:

On the same ME, create four iDPM transforms on Keyers 1-6 and then
create two eDPM transforms (perhaps a graphic and a clock) and assign
those transformed sources to Keyers 5 and 6,

Map the ME to a PGM PST source select button and have a composite
of six DVEs on one source to take to air, then

Assign the ME source to one of the four keyers on PGM PST and key
the composite of DPMs, or

Apply an additional transform to the composite with a PGM PST iDPM
on any of the first four keyers and transform the entire composite.

eDPM Channels assigned to the Primary Partition can be made visible in
the Secondary and vice versa.

The GV Switcher eDPM option has similar menus and controls to the iDPM
option.

eDPM and Effects

eDPM is completely separate from the rest of the Switcher Master E-MEM
so you can recall and run effects from the eDPM independently, or, you can
use the Master E-MEM timeline to recall and run the eDPM. This allows
you to control the eDPM exactly as you would with an external DPM. Also,
you can have multiple E-MEM registers recalling the same eDPM effect.

The switcher timeline and the eDPM timeline can be different registers and
have different lengths. If you run the timeline from the eDPM Timeline, it
will run the effect as created in the eDPM or if you run it from the Master
E-MEM timeline (Switcher mode), it will run until the Master E-MEM time-
line is complete.

If your E-MEM effect in the Master E-MEM only has one keyframe, you
must insert an additional keyframe to run the entire eDPM effect timeline.

Note

For E-MEMs learned using versions earlier than 2.0 to work properly, you
must reconstruct a timeline for the proxy sublevels to run. The proxy sublevel
register has been created but is limited to a single keyframe.
