Ops 9–2 • Still-Store Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
Still-Store Overview
The Vision switcher provides two types of still-stores. The Global-Store™ which provides three,
or four still-store channels switcher wide, and the MLE-Store™ option which provides four
channels of still-store to the MLE that it is installed on.
• Global-Store — The Global-Store consists of three dedicated channels of still-store that
are available as inputs to all MLEs and Aux Buses of the switcher. A fourth channel of
Global-Store can be enabled from the Personality Menu. All channels can be used
independently, or two can be tied together to provide separate fill and alpha channels.
• MLE-Store — The MLE-Store option consists of four channels of still-store that are
available as inputs to the MLE-pair that the XFX Card has been installed for. You must
have the XFX MLE-Store option installed to be able to use the MLE-Store.
Both Global-Store and MLE-Store come with 1 Gigabyte of RAM, enough for up to 4 seconds of
uncompressed 1080i playout or 25 seconds of 480i playout. The number of images increases
significantly when smaller images, like logos, are used. Additional images can be loaded from the
hard drive when needed.
The following tips and restrictions apply when using the still-store:
• If you are selecting a still for an MLE-Store channel, you must load that still into each
MLE-Store individually, if you want it to be available across all MLE-Stores.
• If you know the 4-digit number of the still you want to load, you can select the crosspoint
button mapped to the still-store channel on the MLE, and then enter the still number on
the keypad on the Global Memory Module.
• You can clear the still currently loaded into a channel by selecting 0 as the still number
you load from the keypad on the Global Memory Module.
• If you select an image size that is larger than the current video format, or an image that is
positioned so that a portion of the image is off screen, this may corrupt the video output.
• If you are loading an Auto Key into a still-store channel, you must have another still-store
channel associated with the current one to load the alpha into.
