Chapter 14  Snapshots
877
Overview
The rest of this section describes the snapshots that apply to a particular region 
or regions.
Snapshot Attributes
An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to 
switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled.
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when 
the snapshot is saved or recalled.
Types of attribute
There are five snapshot attributes, as follows.
Cross-point hold: When the snapshot is recalled, the cross-point button 
selection remains unchanged. This can be set independently for each bus.
Key disable: When the snapshot is recalled, the key settings remain 
unchanged. This can be set independently for each keyer. A Setup menu 
allows you to select whether or not the key on/off state should also remain 
unchanged.
For details of the setting operation, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes, 
Frame Memory and Color Correction (Key/Wipe/FM/CCR Menu)” in the 
Chapter 20 (Volume 3). 
Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the snapshot recall to the 
snapshot settings is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve. The dissolve 
duration can be set in the Snapshot menu.
Auto transition: An auto transition starts the instant the snapshot is recalled. 
The auto transition setting is valid only for M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, and 
PGM/PST.
Notes
If both effect dissolve and auto transition are selected as attributes, the auto 
transition takes precedence.
GPI output: A GPI output is sent to the allocated GPI port the instant the 
snapshot is recalled.
The trigger type depends on the switcher GPI output settings made in the 
Setup menu.
For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface 
Menu)” under “Switcher Setup” in Chapter 20 (Volume 3).
