2.15 MEMORY SYSTEM (TIM/E MEMO TIMELINES)
2.15.1 GENERAL
The TiM/E Memory System is a M/E separate software package for storing and re-
calling switcher statuses and processes.
TiM/E thus permits storing and recalling individually prepared operating statuses
and timelines with different background, key sources, borders, wipe pattern posi-
tioning, coloring etc.
The memo system is used for storing and recalling static settings (statuses, snaps-
hots) and interpolated timelines.
The snapshots and timelines are identified with numbers (Register 0 ... 99).
TiM/E can be operated in two ways:
D
operation via the buttons of the TiM/E panel section
D
operation via the menu
The number of keyframes in a timeline is only limited by the storage capacity of the
respective switcher computer and the number of mixing levels and storable func-
tions.
The operator can edit a timeline in order to produce more sophisticated effects.
Note: The total memory in the electronics box RAM for snapshots and timeli-
nes is approx. 3.5 MB.
