these states are correct when you build the Macro. For example, if you want
the E-MEM effect to automatically run as a Sequence, make sure that button
is on when the E-MEM recall is recorded into the Macro.
Certain E-MEM commands that directly affect the work buffer require
special field-rate processing. This ensures all necessary processing occurs
once per field and is in sync with all the other changes occurring in that
same field. Delays are needed for multiple time cursor changes (
Next KF,
Prev KF, Begin, End, Go To KF, Go To Time, and Rewind). If you wish to use two or
more of these commands adjacent to each other in a macro, a delay of at
least one frame between them is required for consistent system behavior.
See Macros and E-MEMs on page 171 for related information.
About Macros, Suites, and Surfaces
K-Frame systems can be configured as multiple suites, and each suite can
have up to two control surfaces. Each suite has a completely independent
set of Macros, and both surfaces can run or record a macro at the same time.
For example, one operator using suite 1 surface A can run one macro, while
another operator using suite 1 surface B is recording a different Macro. The
set of Macros in each suite are shared by both surfaces in that suite.
Multiple operators cannot simultaneously record the same macro or run a
macro that is being recorded or loaded by the other surface. If user attempt
to do so the macro button will turn purple to indicate the macro is busy.
GPI Macros
A Macro can also be triggered from a GPI input. Any GPI Macro is consid-
ered triggered from surface B of that suite. This ensures surface A will be
able to record or run a Macro even during the running of a GPI triggered
Macro. Surface B operators will need to coordinate their Macro use around
any GPI triggered Macros.
Bus Linking
You can create single and multiple bus links, referred to as Parallel and Cas-
cading links. Also, you can define and associate one of the 15 new definable
Source Substitution Tables to a bus (each bus link can be associated with
any source table), and save bus links as part of an E-MEM. Bus links are
E-MEMable and their enables are Keyframeable.
