E-MEM thus permits storing and recalling individually prepared operating
statuses and timelines with different background, key sources, borders,
wipe pattern positioning, coloring etc.
The memo system is used for storing and recalling static settings (statuses,
snapshots) and interpolated timelines.
The snapshots and timelines are identified with numbers (Register 0 ... 99).
E-MEM can be operated in two ways:
• Operation via the buttons of the Effects panel section
• Operation via the menu (not implemented in current software release
version)
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 functions. The operator can edit a timeline in order to
produce more sophisticated effects.
Definition of Terms
The Store, Bank and Edit buttons have different functions in the various oper-
ations.
