Shared Functions for External Device Control
Keyframe functions
There are 250 registers, numbered 1 to 250, holding external device control
data as keyframe data (only 99 registers for the GPI timeline).
The following are the keyframe functions that can be used.
• RECALL (1-250), STORE (1-250), RECALL UNDO, STORE UNDO,
empty register search, AUTO SAVE, RECALL MODE (RECALL,
RECALL & REWIND)
• EDIT ENABLE, EDIT UNDO
• CONST DUR, EFF DUR, KF DUR, DELAY, PAUSE, INSERT BEFORE,
INSERT AFTER, MODIFY, DELETE, COPY, PASTE BEFORE, PASTE
AFTER, FROM TO, ALL
• PREV KF, NEXT KF, GOTO TC, GOTO KF, RUN, REWIND, FF, STOP
NEXT KF, NORMAL, JOG, KF FADER
Notes
Actions set in a keyframe are executed only when the keyframe effect is
executed in the normal direction. Take care when executing simultaneously
with a switcher or DME keyframe effect, since the actions are not executed in
the reverse direction.
The following keyframe functions cannot be used.
• KF LOOP, EFFECT LOOP, REVERSE, NORMAL/REVERSE
•PATH
Saving to registers
Set the data for controlling external devices in the Device menu. You can save
the set data in keyframe, snapshot, or shotbox registers. You can recall the
register in which the data is saved, and carry out operations on it with the
keyframe control block.
Editing registers
You can carry out the following operations on the registers in which the data
for controlling external devices is saved.
•Copy
•Move
•Swap
• Merge (this cannot be carried out for registers holding VTR, disk recorder,
or Extended VTR control data.)
•Lock
•Name
