Utility
Selecting the Util button delegates the selection bus to be the Utility bus
source selector. A crosspoint selected on the Utility bus can be used as a key
signal.
Macro
Selecting the Macro button delegates the selection bus to be a set of macro
function buttons. Only in Macro delegation the two buttons Rec and Del left
to the Macro button (gray in the drawing) are active. Selecting a button in
the bus selection row while holding down the Rec button starts recording a
macro at that button position. Any previously stored macro at that position
is cleared.
Selecting a button in the bus selection row while holding down the Del
button deletes the macro at the corresponding button position.
Holding down the Macro button for longer than 2 seconds lights all buttons
with active macros in the bus selection row.
While recording a macro you can insert a pause. To do so press Rec and Del
simultaneously. Now you can enter the time for the pause using the key
pad in the
Effect section. The maximum pause time is 25.5 seconds. If you
need longer pauses you can add more than one pause.
With macro delegation all 16 buttons serve as macro positions, that means,
also the button labeled
Shift is a macro button, allowing to record and play
a total of 16 macros.
Within all other delegations, the bus selection row can be unshifted and
shifted in the same manner as the Background buses.
Macro Attachment
It is useful to execute a macro together with the function of another button.
E.g. when selecting a VTR which is under Machine Control on the Preset
Bus it could be useful to cue the machine to the Mark In point.
Consider selecting a store output and select the readout with the same
button push. For such uses the Macro Attachment is very effective. With
macro attachment the macro can be added to the normal button function.
In this case a macro can be executed 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
