Overview
The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the
various settings required to apply a particular effect to an
image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as
required, to recover the original state.
Use the following to operate the snapshot.
•
Numeric keypad block (see page 474)
•
Flexi Pad control block (see page 476)
•
Multifunction Flexi Pad control block (see page 479)
•
Snapshot menu (see page 482)
Notes
If the M/E bank has the Inhibit setting (see page 566), it is
not possible to recall a snapshot on that M/E bank.
Snapshot Types
Snapshots are divided as follows.
Snapshots applying to a particular region
(functional block of the switcher or DME)
The term “snapshot” alone usually refers to this type of
snapshot. This only applies to regions assigned to region
selection buttons in the numeric keypad control block and
Multifunction Flexi Pad control block.
For details about a region, see “Regions” (page 434).
Master snapshot: This applies to the selected regions and
the register numbers saved in the regions.
A master snapshot can be saved and recalled using the
numeric keypad control block and the Multifunction
Flexi Pad control block.
Snapshots applying only to particular functions
This type of snapshot includes the following.
Key snapshot: This includes the key on/off state and all
key settings other than key priority for each keyer.
For details, see “Key Snapshots” in Chapter 4
(Volume 1).
Wipe snapshot: This includes the wipe settings of each of
the M/E and PGM/PST banks.
For details, see “Wipe Snapshots” in Chapter 5
(Volume 1).
DME wipe snapshot: This includes the DME wipe
settings of each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks.
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 seven 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 “Setting the
operation mode of the key bus [XPT HOLD] button”
(page 625).
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
