Advanced E-MEM Operations: Partial Keyframe/Define E-MEM Settings
Advanced E-MEM Operations: Partial Keyframe/Define E-MEM
Settings
When using Partial Keyframing and/or Define E-MEM, learning registers will restore
advanced settings back to default unless one of the following procedures are followed.
Before selecting an E-MEM register, to retain Partial Keyframing/Define E-MEM settings,
either:
1 Hold down the LRN / Lrn button on the Local or Master E-MEM Module on the Control
Panel
2 Select an E-MEM register (the Learn button turns blue indicating the advanced settings
are retained),
-or-
1 Enable the Learn Partial mode button in the E-MEM & Timeline, Recall Run menu.
Macros
Macros provide a mechanism to record a series of actions and then play them back by
pressing a single button. Macro steps specify commands sent to the Video Processor Frame,
rather than simple button presses. Macros are fundamentally different from E-MEMs.
E-MEMs store the complete state of a portion of the switcher (level and sub-level) into
keyframes. For example, an E-MEM keyframe for M/E 1 captures all the source selections,
keyer settings, transition type, wipe patterns, etc. for all the buses of M/E 1 at the time that
keyframe was added to the E-MEM register. A macro, on the other hand, affects only the
specific elements involved in the recording of that macro. For example, a macro can be
recorded that sets up only the Preset bus with a particular source and selects a specific wipe
pattern and transition rate. You can recall an E-MEM to put the M/E in a known state, and
when you want to prepare that specific transition to just that source, simply play the macro.
In this example, different macros can be recorded with different sources to allow rapid and
reliable variations on the E-MEM effect that was originally recalled.
A macro can contain several steps. Macros are executed as quickly as possible in the order
the steps are recorded. It is also possible to insert delays (including a User Pause), in a macro
sequence during recording to accommodate external devices or allow for completion of
internal system events.
Macros add enormous power and flexibility to the GV Switcher system. Simple tasks can be
recorded into a macro quickly and easily for rapid and reliable playback. Complex series of
actions can also be programmed into a macro, but careful planning is required to ensure
the macro accomplishes its intended actions for all the conditions under which it may be
played back.
Note: Macro attachments are saved and loaded with Panel Prefs. One set
of attachments exists for each control surface. Be sure the Panel Prefs you
load are compatible with the Macro registers you are currently using, to
avoid accidentally running incorrect attached Macros.
