Still Image Operations 127
Pair mode
By enabling the pair mode, you can link FM1 and FM2,
FM3 and FM4, FM5 and FM6, and FM7 and FM8. For
example, when a freeze or image processing is carried out
on FM1, the same operation is carried out on FM2. The
same applies to the other pairs. When a pair of images are
captured in pair mode, the image frozen in FM1 (3, 5, or 7)
is referred to as the main file, and the other frozen in FM2
(4, 6, or 8) is referred to as the sub file.
Pair files and single files
A file that can be recalled in pair mode is termed a “pair
file.” A pair file can be created by setting pair mode and
capturing an image, or by using the coupling function
(
1
p. 141) to combine two single files.
A file other than a pair file is termed a “single file.” A
single file can be created by switching off pair mode and
capturing an image, or by using the separation function
(
1
p. 141) to split a pair file.
Operation modes
The frame memory has the following operation mode.
V/K mode: When the pair mode is active, the key signal is
automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2.
This is convenient for handling the video and key
signals together in frame memory. For example, when
you select a video signal on frame memory source bus
1, the key signal assigned to it is automatically
selected on frame memory source bus 2. You can also
use the signal automatically selected on frame memory
source bus 2 as a key signal when processing keyframe
memory 1.
To change the pair mode or operation mode, use the Frame
Memory menu.
Frame memory folders
Still images and clips can be managed in a maximum of 12
groups.
Such a group is called a “frame memory folder.” Folders
can be added or deleted, and can be given a name of up to
eight characters.
Notes
•
When the system power is turned OFF, the folder names
are deleted.
The folder names must be saved onto media.
•
The following names cannot be used for folders.
Flash1, Flash2
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL
COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6,
COM7, COM8, COM9
LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7,
LPT8, LPT9
A folder named “Default” is provided, and this folder
cannot be renamed or deleted.
•
Still images and clips in different frame memory folders
cannot have the same name.
Still Image Operations

functions for still image creation and saving.

Notes
During frame memory clip playback
(
1
p. 136) of the
pair assigned to either of the target FM selection buttons,
frame memory operations may not be performed properly.
Carry out frame memory operations after stopping clip
playback.
Preparations
Allocating the frame memory outputs (FM1
to FM8) to cross-point buttons
To output a frame memory image to a monitor, for
example, the output signal from the frame memory (FM1
to FM8) must be allocated to a cross-point button. Carry
out this allocation in the Setup menu.
Interpreting the Frame Memory Menu
The menu screen consists of the following principal parts.
The frame memory selection area display is the same for
all except the File (excluding Pair Recombination menu),
Folder, and External Device menus.
