DVEs differ from standard video switcher effects (often referred to as analog effects) such as wipes or dissolves, in that they deal primarily with resizing, distortion or movement of the image.
Modern DVE devices are incorporated in high-end broadcast video switchers.
Early examples of DVE devices found in the broadcast post-production industry include the Ampex Digital Optics (ADO),[1] Quantel DPE-5000, Vital Squeezoom,[2] NEC E-Flex and the Abekas A5x series of DVEs.
[3] By 1988, Grass Valley Group caught up with the competition with their Kaleidoscope,[4] which integrated ADO-type effects with their widely used line of broadcast switching gear.
