E-MEM Operating Modes Description
E-MEM can be used in two modes of operation. Depending on the delivery,
the control panel is provided with different button legend sets. The alterna-
tive button legend set is part of the delivery and can be changed by the user
easily.
In the Default Mode the switcher behavior is closer to that of the
Kalypso/Zodiak line of Grass Valley switchers. The DD Mode follows the
E-MEM methods used by the Kayak DD line of switchers.
One of the big differences between DD and Default modes is that KayakDD
switchers have an Edit mode that must be activated before a Timeline can
be edited. Also, changes to the Timeline are not saved until the Edit mode
is switched off again. Default Mode tries to make Edit mode more trans-
parent through several means. First, edit mode is activated automatically
whenever an editing action is initiated through the menu, and deactivated
automatically whenever the user presses the
Run
button. Second, edit
cursor position is preserved (as far as possible) when changing into and out
of edit mode. The DD edit mode doesn’t allow the edit cursor to be placed
in between keyframes, therefore edit cursor snaps to the beginning of the
current keyframe upon entering edit mode.
Edit mode cannot be made fully transparent, mainly because the number
of buttons available in the E-MEM section of the Kayak panel is limited to
provide numeric entry (register selection) and edit commands at the same
time.
Another difference between DD and Default Modes is the definition of a
keyframe duration. In DD Mode keyframe duration is the duration of the
transition to the keyframe, while in Default Mode it is the duration of the
transition to the next keyframe. KayakDD associates a transition with the
following keyframe, while Kalypso/Zodiak associates it with the preceding
keyframe.
