2.2.2.2 MACRO ATTACHMENT
Under several circumstances it is useful to execute a macro together with the func-
tion of another button. E.g. when selecting a VTR which is under –> Machine Con-
trol on the Preset Bus it could be useful to cue the machine to the Mark In point.
Or think about selecting a store (Video Store, Montage Processor) output and se-
lect the readout with the same button push.
For such uses the Macro Attachment is the tool to use. With macro attachment the
macro can be added to the normal button function. In this case a macro can be exe-
cuted before the normal function (pre–macro); it can be executed after the normal
function (post–macro) or both pre–macro and a post–macro can be activated.
A macro can also replace the normal function of the button.
This is selected by Macro attachment Playmode for all the macro attachments
made.
