Chapter 16 Macros
a) In the case of an event that inserts or deletes a key, the key state at the time
of event registration (inserted or not inserted) is also saved in the macro.
When the macro is executed, the event is only replayed if the key state
matches the saved state. (Example: For a macro with an event that deletes
a key, when the macro is executed, if the key is inserted it is deleted, but
otherwise nothing occurs as concerns keying.)
b) Function valid only when [PLAY], [STOP], and [CUEUP] have been set
in the Setup menu.
c) When a search dial module is connected, this operates as the reference
module. When not connected, this operates on the module selected in the
Panel >Config menu.
For details of reference module selection, see “Overall Control Panel
Settings (Config Menu)” (page 487).
Macro Creation and Editing
You can create or edit a macro by recalling a macro
register.
To create a new macro, recall an empty macro register, and
create the desired sequence of events (by executing the
sequence of operations on the control panel that you want
to save as events in the macro).
To add an event to an existing macro, recall the register
holding the macro, and create the event you want to add.
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 control block or
buttons in the utility/shotbox control block (see page 506),
and turn the relevant button on before you start an event to
register.
Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with/
without Rate): When registering an auto transition
macro event in one of the M/E banks or the PGM/PST
bank, 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
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.
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. To
switch this on or off, assign this function to a utility/
shotbox control block button or user preference button,
then use that button.
Editing a macro
You can carry out the following macro editing operations.
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 one 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 one 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.
