Chapter 10 Floppy Disk Operations
Overview
You can use the floppy disk drive to save the contents of registers and setup
data, for reloading when required.
This chapter describes the procedures for saving and loading data, and other
floppy disk operations.
Disks and Data Held
The floppy disk drive uses 3.5-inch 2HD disks. The term “disk” here always
refers to this type of disk.
It is possible to save to disk the following eight types of data created on the
switcher:
• Contents of key frame effect registers
• Contents of snapshot registers
• The current values of the setup data
• Key memory data (including default values)
• Chroma key memory data
• Contents of wipe snapshot registers
• Contents of DME wipe snapshot registers
• Contents of key snapshot registers
• Current setup data related with control panel operations
• Contents of VTR control registers
For the location of the floppy disk drive, see the section “Menu Control
Section and Floppy Disk Drive” (page 2-31).
Notes
• For wipe snapshots, DME wipe snapshots, and key snapshots, it is only
possible to save the complete set of the particular snapshot type in one
operation. It is not possible to save specifying a particular register on a
particular M/E bank.
The key memory data can only be saved as a complete set, that is, all key
memory data for all keyers together.
• For switcher data it is not possible to carry out operations on individual sub-
registers.
Saving DME data
There are three types of DME data saved on disk:
• Key frame effect register data
• Snapshot register data
• Currently used setup data
It is also possible to load and save data for each DME channel separately.
