    Hello, as we know Carbonite ultra 60 switcher have 6 independent ME keyers, and question is how many resizable windows are possible on each ME?

    On a 6 keyer ME you can have 6 2D DVE effects but remember on the switcher you have a total 12 Sharable 2D DVE's . So if one ME has 6 boxes that leaves you with 6 left over to share.

    Thank you Luis for your quick response.

    Just to confirm: although each ME on the Carbonite Ultra 60 can use up to 6 2D DVE effects, the system has a total of 12 shared DVEs. This means that if I'm using all 6 MEs at the same time, I can expect to have approximately 2 resizable windows (DVE effects) available per ME - unless I allocate more DVEs to certain MEs and fewer to others. Is that correct?

    Hi Vakhtang,

    Perhaps there is some confusion. Carbonite Ultra 60 does not have 6MEs. In HD, it has up to 3MEs (6 keys per ME) with 4 miniMEs (2 keys per ME).

    But your understanding of shared DVEs is correct. If you use more DVEs on one ME, there are less DVEs for other MEs/miniMEs.
