Notes on Character Generator Commands
• The current Mode, Channel, and Folder/FileName information is saved in non-volatile
memory on the switcher and is stored and recalled with the Personality settings. This
allows you to retain your character generator settings if the switcher powers down.
• Templates stored with non-numerical names cannot be recalled using the keypad on the
Global Memory Module.
• Character generator parameters that are modified from the switcher are only in effect for
the current session.
