194 KAYENNE — User Manual
Section 3 — System Operation
all the effects along with the Suite Pref and User Pref files for a particular
show together on a USB Memory Stick, and then reload them all the next
time you work on that show. Note that User Prefs settings will not change
how an effect runs, but will reproduce the control surface as it was when
the effect was built so, for example, all the source buttons are arranged
exactly where you want them.
Other Kayenne environment variables to consider for successful reuse of
effects are listed below.
• All the external devices required are available for use (Profile VDRs,
GVEous, PBus devices, GPI outputs, etc.).
• Correct clips loaded on the Profile or other DDRs.
• Correct stills cached on the Kayenne Image Store.
• If operating in Multi Suite mode, the suites should be setup for effect
sharing by properly acquiring logical devices in each suite. Also suffi-
cient resources need to be available in the suite. If resources are not
acquired, those portions of the effect will be silently ignored. If
resources are acquired after loading effects, the effects will need to be
reloaded.
• If using a router interface, router sources and destinations need to be
defined correctly and available, and any required R-MEMs loaded.
E-MEM and Macro Interaction
Macros and E-MEMs can interact in two fundamentally different ways. An
E-MEM can be programmed to execute one or more macros, or a macro can
be created that recalls one or more E-MEMs. With care, operating both
control mechanisms together can be extremely powerful. However,
improper use can create infinite loops or other undesirable behavior. It is
especially important that your Kayenne system be loaded with the correct
E-MEMs and Macros and is operating in the correct mode, or unpredictable
system behavior will result from the mismatched E-MEMs and macros.
Macros in an E-MEM
A macro can be added to an E-MEM keyframe and be executed when that
E-MEM register is recalled and run. Only the macro register number (and
its Enabled state) is saved to the E-MEM register, not the actual macro com
-
mands. If a macro is subsequently changed, any E-MEM specifying that
macro register will run the modified macro. See
E-MEM Recalls in a Macro
on page 371 for related information.
