Switcher Control
Appending a Macro to Another Macro in the Menu
160
For example, to copy M/E 1 to M/E 2 and then copy M/E 1 to M/E 3 with a macro, include a
short delay after the M/E 1 to M/E 2 copy.
Macros and E-MEMs
Macros and E-MEMs can interact in two fundamentally different ways. A Macro can be
created that recalls one or more E-MEMs, or an E-MEM can be programmed to execute one
or more Macros. 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 GV Switcher 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.
E-MEM Recalls in a Macro
The state of the Effects Dis and SEQ buttons are sent as part of each E-MEM recall
command. When recording E-MEM recalls to a Macro, make sure 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.
