Functional description
M/E coupled is used to support a second (third..) transmission line output at a DD35
switcher that is in its main parts identical to a main output, but differs in country spe-
cific video components (source– and/or keyer substitution). Those source replace-
ments can be defined with substitution tables.
How to use
TiM/E Memo recalls are used to set all – master and coupled M/Es – into an initial
state depending on the next effect. According to the meaning of the effect the transi-
tion module then works correct with CUT, AUTO and the transition FADER.
Coupling rules
Each M/E can be coupled to any other M/E as long as they belong to the same appli-
cation and the coupling doesn’t become recursive. The coupling (
→
) can be done
serial, parallel and in combinations.
Examples:
Serial: P/P → M/E3 → M/E2 M/E3 is coupled to P/P
M/E2 is coupled to ME3
M/E1 is not coupled
Parallel: P/P
→
M/E3; PP
→
M/E2 Both, M/E3 and M/E2 are
coupled to P/P
M/E1 is not coupled
Combined: P/P
→
ME3; PP
→
ME2 Both, M/E3 and M/E2 are
coupled to P/P
M/E2
→
M/E1 M/E1 is coupled to M/E2
Note. Loops are not possible!
P/P → M/E3; M/E3 → P/P NOT ALLOWED!!
