Image Data Management and
Operation
Keyframes
This function loads the conditions of the video at a point in
time as data which can then be recalled to reproduce the
same conditions.
By arranging multiple keyframes on the time axis
(timeline) and interpolating between successive
keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a
continuous change from each keyframe to the next
(keyframe effect). You can save the effect in memory
(effect register) and then reproduce the same effect by
recalling it from memory as required.
For details, see “Keyframes” (page 297).
Snapshots
This function saves the conditions configured for applying
an effect to an image as data in memory (snapshot register)
which can be recalled to reproduce the same conditions as
required.
For details, see “Snapshots” (page 329).
Utility
This function is used to assign a specific action or a
shortcut for a frequently used menu to a button, which can
then be recalled by pressing the button.
For details, see “Utility Overview” (page 339).
Shotbox
This function is used to save any combination of snapshots
or keyframe effects specified for a region in memory
(shotbox register) and then recall them simultaneously as
required.
For details, see “Shotbox Overview” (page 341).
Macros
This function is used to store a sequence of control panel
operations (events) as data in memory (macro register),
which you can recall to reproduce the same sequence of
operations as required.
Menu macros
You can register menu operations as events.
Macro timeline
You can execute macros in sequence by registering macro
recall/execute actions as keyframes on the timeline.
Macro attachments
You can execute a sequence of macros when a control
panel button or fader lever is operated by assigning the
control panel button or a fader lever to a macro register.
For details, see “Macros” (page 347).
Copy and swap
You can copy or swap the settings between switcher banks
or between keyers.
For details, see “Copy and Swap” (page 187).
File operations
You can save register data, including setup information
and snapshot information, as a file on the local drive or
removable drive, and recall it as required.
For details, see “Files” (page 376).
External device control
You can control the operation of external devices, such as
GPI-compatible devices, P-Bus compatible devices,
VTRs, and disk recorders.
You can also control external devices by creating a
timeline and configuring operation actions at keyframes.
For details, see “External Devices” (page 283).
Multi Program 2
This function divides a single M/E switcher bank into two
(“main” and “sub”), allowing you to create images
separately on each.
You can set separate backgrounds, keys, and transitions for
the main and sub outputs.
For details, see “Multi Program 2” (page 201).
Setup
You perform the setup operations in the Engineering Setup
menu (hereinafter called the Setup menu).
The Setup menu is separated into the following categories.
