About 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 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.
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 commands. 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 155 for related information.
About E-MEM Prefs Macro Sub-level Assignment
A Macro sub-level can be assigned to any E-MEM level (default is Misc 8 MCRO) in the
E-MEM Prefs menu.
Preventing Assigned Macros from Running
If you want to be able to prevent any assigned macro from running in an effect, make sure
the Macro sub-level is assigned to a separate level, and then enable or disable that level to
turn all the E-MEM macros on or off.
Add a Macro to an E-MEM
The Macro in E-MEM pane is used to add a macro register number and its Enabled state to
an E-MEM effect. You can control a macro from this menu including: append, record, delete,
or insert a delay (in seconds or frames) using the Macro Catalog buttons.
