Notes 
While editing a macro, it is not possible to execute another
 
macro. 
 
 
Creating a macro 
 
To include all information associated with an
 
operation when registering a macro event 
When registering an auto transition operation as an event,
 
you can register the auto transition event to include the
 
transition rate and background A/B bus selection status.
 
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
 
forward as an event, you can also save the region to which
 
this applies. 
To use this capability, assign the following functions to
 
user preference buttons in the menu panel 
(
1 
p. 334), and
 
then turn the relevant button on.
 
Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with/
 
without Rate): When registering an auto transition
 
macro event in the transition control block, include the
 
transition rate. 
Macro AT with A/B Bus (Macro Auto Trans Event
 
with/without A/B Bus): When registering an auto
 
transition macro event in the transition control block,
 
include the background A/B bus cross-point. 
Macro TL with Region (Macro Timeline with Region):
 
When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast
 
forward as a macro event, save the affected region
 
together in the macro. 
 
Events requiring adjustment when creating a
 
macro 
Event insertion 
Insert the control panel operation as an event in a macro. 
 
Event modification 
Modify any event. You can modify all events within a
 
macro, or events within a specified range in a single
 
operation. 
 
Event deletion 
Delete any event. You can delete all events within a macro,
 
or events within a specified range in a single operation.
 
You can then paste the deleted event using the paste
 
function. 
 
Event copy 
Copy any event. You can copy all events within a macro,
 
or events within a specified range in a single operation. 
 
Event paste 
Paste a copied or deleted event at a desired position within
 
a macro. 
 
Undoing an edit operation 
You can undo the last event insertion, modification,
 
deletion, or paste operation. 
 
Macro merging 
During macro editing, you can recall and copy another
 
register to merge it with the macro being edited. 
For example, while editing macro register 2 you can recall
 
and copy register 1 to merge it as shown in the following
 
figure. 
The following events require time for execution to
 
complete, and therefore when executed within a macro
 
sequence, a pause event must be inserted to adjust the 
 
    timing. 
 
    • Rewinding effects involving external device control 
•
 
VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR cue-up 
For example, create a macro to cue up a VTR and then play
 
back as follows. 
Recall macro register 2, and 
move to another event.

Recall register 1.

Macro event execution order:
 
Macro events: 
 
 
Auto insert mode on/off setting 
You can switch on or off the mode (auto insert mode) in
 
which at the same time that a control panel operation is
 
carried out, the event is automatically saved in a macro. 
 
 
Editing a macro 
You can carry out the following macro editing operations. 
Copy contents of register 1 and add after current event
 
(register 2). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Contents of register 1
 
remain unchanged.
