Videonics MXPro - LEARNED SCRIPTS

Learn Mode Learned Scripts
Procedure
To create a Learned Environment:
1 Set up MXPro the way you want for this particular environment. This includes
setting any input effects you want, selecting the initial CURRENT and NEXT
sources, defining color, defining borders, and so forth.
2 Enter LEARN+ <number> , where <number> can be any value from 1 to 8.
MXPro saves all current settings under the number you enter. Note that the
INPUT EFFECTS LED (or, light) flashes to let you know MXPro is in Learn Mode.
At this point, you can create a Learned Script to save with the current Learned
Environment. See the following section for further instructions.
You can also save the environment without a Learned Script. To do so, just press
LEARN to disengage Learn Mode.

Learned Scripts exist only within Learned Environments. Although you can create a
Learned Script without first specifically creating a Learned Environment, MXPro auto-
matically creates a Learned Environment using the current settings.
You can record one Learned Script for each Learned Environment. So, because you can
create 8 Learned Environments, you can also create 8 Learned Scripts.
The total number of actions (or, steps ) in all of the combined Learned Scripts cannot
exceed 250. If you attempt to exceed this number, MXPro simply stops recording steps
when it reaches capacity. You can replay all steps learned up to that point.
MXPro does not retain Learned Scripts when you turn the unit off, but it does retain the
Learned Environment. Therefore, if you create a Learned Script within a Learned Envi-
ronment then turn off MXPro, the Learned Environment is retained, but the Learned
Script is not.
MXPro does not record the following steps while in Learn mode:
• Create or transition to Compose screens
• Use Chroma Key
• Use PIPs
• Use the Demo
You cannot modify a Learned Script after creating it. If you need to modify a Learned
Script, you must re-record it from the beginning.
If you’re familiar with the video-related term “Edit Decision List,” MXPro is not an EDL.
MXPro simply records certain steps, then replays them at your direction.
About Steps Most individual actions count as one step. For example, if you enter a two-digit transi-
tion number on the keyboard, that counts as two steps: each time you press PLAY or
use the T-BAR , that also counts as one step: and so forth.
