PRESETS
What
are
they?
One of the notable things about the CVI is the use of PRESETS.
What are these beasts?
Well, a PRESET is something like a 'snapshot' of the CVI at a
particula r instant. A PRESET contains information about the
position of the ten SLIDER controls, the sixteen PUSH BUTTONS,
and most of the MENU settings. When the CVI is first turned on,
100 PRESETS (00 to 99) conta in
control
information corresponding
to the PR ESETS described in Section 2 - PRESETS. This same
condition can be reproduced by you simply by selecting the
appropriate PRESET.
NOTE:
That a PRESET does not contain any
pictorial
information. The resultant screen image will be the same
process
used to generate the photo in the PRESETS QUICK
SELECTOR section, but applied to whatever video image is
presented to the CVI's inputs.
The PRESETS ha ve several functions:
I)
To make it very
easy
to achieve advanced effects which
otherwise would require a series of MENU selections.
2)
To allow changing of effects
without
having to select items in
the MENUS. This is essential to live performance, as the
sudden appearance of a blue MENU image would generally be
an undesirable interruption.
3)
To facilitate
fast
and
accurate
control of the CVI in demanding
situat ions, and even situations which are not so demanding.
4)
To allow the
recording
of MENU selections and control
positions that create an effect that you may like and wish to
repeat at some later stage.
This last point brings us to the next feature of PRESETS:
although the PRESETS start out containing 1 00 selected effects,
these PRESETS can be changed or replaced with your own
creations at any time. (See Section
3
-
PRESETS CONTROL
menu.) The CVI will then remember your PRESET until
instructed otherwise. You can re-create the effect simply by
selecting the PRESET that you stored it in.
The CVI will even remember your effect if you turn the power
off. So you can create an effect, store it as a PRESET, and come
back a month later - it will still be there. The original PRESETS,
as shown in Section
2,
can be rega ined at any time. (See Section
3
-
PRESETS CONTROL menu.) However, your PRESET will be
overwritten, unless you either copy your PRESET to a di fferent
PRESET number, or save it to video-tape/video-cassette. (See
Section
3
- SAVE AND RECALL menu.)
It is also easy to create a series of PRESETS that follow on
from one-another. This is useful in live shows and post­
production work, where a co-ordinated transition from one
situation
to another may be required. (See Section
3
- PRESETS
CONTROL menu under
Program mode.)
