Macro Recording
Macros are recorded into macro registers. The GV Switcher system has 999 macro registers.
The number of steps in any specific macro or the total number of macro steps across all
macros is limited only by the amount of available memory in the Video Processor Frame.
The number of macros per configuration is determined by the size and number of Stripes in
the GV Switcher system. The following is used to determine the total number:
• Stripes (1-4),
• Key row number (1-2),
• Shift level number (1-4), and
• Source button number (1-32).
For example:
4- M/E with 35 button rows:
• 2 key rows
• 4 shift levels
• 32 source buttons for macros
=999 macros (maximum supported) or,
2-M/E with 25 source button rows:
• 2-M/E
• 2 key rows
• 4 shift levels
• 22 source buttons for macros
=352 macros
Macro registers can be saved to disk and reloaded, making the total number of pre-made
macros available to a GV Switcher system unlimited.
Macros apply to the point of use active during the macro recording. For example, recording
a macro that turns on Matte Fill on M/E 1 Keyer 1 will affect M/E 1 Keyer 1 when it is played
