Stores
Overview
Stores are one of the most important functions within a Masterpiece system. They are used as
internal sources and are globally available throughout the system for Crosspoints, Keys, Util
Bus and Auxes etc. Stores are comprised of Still images or Clips of video and Audio files called
ClipTrax
TM
. The Stills, Clips and Audio that can be either imported into the mainframe via the
Filing System menu, or “grabbed” into the internal memory from any source connected to the
up to 36 inputs to the Masterpiece mainframe.
Stills and Clips and Audio are individual files that are saved into user-defined files. Up to 1000
stills and clip files can be saved.
Before still images, video clips or audio can be imported into the Masterpiece mainframe, the
files have to be processed through a software application called K-Manager; which converts
the original file format into the Masterpiece native.sws format.
Note: When loading video clips into Stores, Masterpiece will automatically
allocate the correct amount of time (memory) to the Store to allow the clip
to play once loaded, up to the maximum amount of memory in the
mainframe. The amount of video storage available will also be affected by
the type of video standard set by the user.
Note: K-Manager is a free software application that comes as an accessory
with a new system, or can be downloaded from the Grass Valley website
(see the contact details at the rear of this manual).
