12. Still Store
The switcher can capture and memorize up to four Video and Key still pictures from the switcher
output video. Once captured stills are assigned to bus buttons (See section 5-2. "How to Assign
Sources to Bus buttons" ), they can then be used as key fill and source signals, M/E background
and AUX output signals.
Although the stored stills are cleared when the switcher is powered down, they can be backed up to
the Still memory in the switcher. Up to six still images can be stored to and loaded from the backup
memory (MEM1 to MEM6). In addition, stored stills can also be saved to USB flash memory.

(4) Press the page up button to go back to PAGE1.
(5) Then press F1 to save the image to STILL1. A beep will sound and the image will be saved to
the selected still memory.

NOTE
The program, clean and preview images of M/E1 and M/E2 and AUX1 to AUX8
images can be caputured using Still Stores. See section 6. "Video Outputs" for details
on these signals.
Note that when a new still is stored, the current still data is cleared and the new still
data is overwritten into the memory.
12-2. Displaying Still Images
Selecting STILL1 on the PGM bus will display the captured STILL1 image on the PGM screen.
Still images can also be assigned to AUX outputs and key images.
The still image loading type can be selected on PAGE 1. For example, to use an odd field image
of STILL1 set the menu as shown in the figure below. Selectable options are FRAME, ODD (odd
field) and EVEN (even field).
STILL :STILL1 :STILL2 :STILL3 :STILL4 : 1/6
