Video Operations
Loading a Still Image
You can load a still image, and output it in the same way as video (p. 25) or use it as a source for DSK compositing (p. 30). There are two ways
to load a still image: you can load from a USB flash drive, or you can capture from input video.
You can save up to sixteen still images in the unit.
* When still images are saved in the unit, startup takes longer time according to image size and the number of still images saved.
Loading a Still Image from a USB Flash Drive
Here’s how to load a still image from a USB flash drive into the unit.
NOTE
¹ Still images cannot be scaled. In advance, you must prepare
still images of the resolution that is appropriate for your
output format.
¹ When using a USB flash drive for the first time, you must
format it using the V-160HD (p. 64).
¹ Never turn off the power or remove the USB flash drive while
the message “PLEASE WAIT” is shown.
¹ Depending on the USB flash drive, recognition of the flash
drive might take some time.
