• In 4K format, only four channels comprising FM1 to
FM4 can be used.
• Only eight channels comprising FM1 to FM8 (FM1&2
Clip, FM3&4 Clip, FM5&6 Clip, FM7&8 Clip) can be
used in a clip transition.
Correspondence between input and output
The two frame memory input systems are assigned to a
pair of consecutive FM outputs (odd-numbered output and
even-numbered output, such as FM1&2 or FM3&4) for
use.
Frame memory source 1 bus is assigned to an odd-
numbered FM output, and frame memory source 2 bus is
assigned to an even-numbered FM output.
Pair mode and single mode
Pair mode
Enabling pair mode allows you to link operation of a pair
of FM outputs. For example, performing an operation,
such as a freeze, on FM1 will perform the same operation
on FM2.
The image data saved in pair mode is referred to as a “pair
file.” In a pair file, the image data processed on the odd-
numbered FM output is the main file, and the image data
processed on the even-numbered FM output is the sub file.
You can also create a pair file from two single files
(Couple function).
Only pair files can be selected when performing frame
memory operations in pair mode.
Single mode
In single mode (pair mode disabled), you can perform
operations on a pair of FM outputs independently.
The image data saved in single mode is referred to as a
“single file.” You can also split a pair file into two single
files (Separate function).
Both single files and pair files can be selected when
performing frame memory operations in single mode.
Selecting a pair file will recall the main file only on the FM
output.
V/K mode
When V/K mode is enabled, selecting a signal on the frame
memory source 1 bus will automatically select the paired
key signal on the frame memory source 2 bus.
Files and folders
In frame memory, files are stored and managed in folders
you create.
The names of folders can comprise up to 16 characters, and
the names of files can comprise up to 32 characters.
• The created folder hierarchy can have up to three levels
below the root level.
• The following characters cannot be used for folder/file
names.
space, \, /, :, ;, , (comma), . (period), <, >, *, ?, ", |
• The following names cannot be used for files/folders.
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL
COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6,
COM7, COM8, COM9
LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7,
LPT8, LPT9
• When a file name is too long to be displayed in full, “..”
is displayed after the name.
Frame memory audio data
In a frame memory clip, in addition to the video image,
audio data is recorded.
Audio data playback
You can play recorded audio data using normal clip
playback or by an auto transition in a clip transition. You
can also play audio data while a clip is recording to
monitor the data.
To play audio data, first enable audio data on the target FM
output for operation.
• Audio data can be enabled/disabled for each FM output
in single mode, or for each pair of FM outputs in pair
mode.
• Audio data is recorded in a clip, even if a clip is created
with audio data disabled on the FM output. Audio data
recording cannot be disabled.
• To play audio data, set the signal output to through mode
.
Only the AUX bus and edit preview bus can output audio
data.
• In variable-speed playback, audio data is not played.
• In loop playback, audio data fades in at the playback start
point and fades out at the playback stop point. In reverse
playback, audio data is not played.
• Importing/exporting a frame memory file discards any
audio data.
• Noise may occur if a frame memory source bus cross-
point is switched during audio data playback.
• The audio sampling frequency is 48 kHz only.
