Snapshots
Overview
A snapshot is a function that saves the conditions
configured for applying an effect to an image as data in
memory (snapshot register) which can be recalled to
reproduce the same conditions as required.
You perform snapshot operations using the numeric
keypad control block, Flexi Pad control block, or the
menu.
If the switcher bank is set to [Inhibit] setting, it is not
possible to recall a snapshot on that bank (see page 407).
Snapshot Types
Snapshots are classified as follows.
Snapshots applying to a particular region
(functional block of the switcher or DME)
The term “snapshot” alone usually refers to this type of
snapshot. This only applies to regions assigned to region
selection buttons in the numeric keypad control block.
For details about regions, see “Regions” (page 296).
Master snapshot: In a snapshot that targets the region,
this applies to the selected region and the register
numbers saved in the region.
Snapshots applying only to particular functions
This type of snapshot includes the following.
Key snapshot: This includes the key on/off state and all
key settings other than key priority for each keyer (see
page 138).
Wipe snapshot: This includes the wipe settings of each of
the banks (see page 152).
DME wipe snapshot: This includes the DME wipe
settings of each of the banks (see page 167).
This section describes the snapshots that apply to a
particular region.
Snapshot Attributes
An individual snapshot may also have attached special
conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the
snapshot is recalled.
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot,
and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled.
Types of attribute
There are seven snapshot attributes, as follows.
Cross-point hold (Xpt Hold): When the snapshot is
recalled, the cross-point button selection information
remains unchanged. This can be set independently for
each bus.
Key disable: When the snapshot is recalled, the key
settings remain unchanged.
This can be set independently for each keyer.
A Setup menu allows you to select whether or not the
key on/off state should also remain unchanged.
For details, see “Setting the operation mode of a
cross-point hold button on the key bus” (page 470).
Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the
snapshot recall to the snapshot settings changes
smoothly (dissolve). The dissolve duration can be set
in the Snapshot menu.
Auto transition: An auto transition starts simultaneously
after the snapshot is recalled. The auto transition
setting is valid only for M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, M/E-4,
M/E-5, and PGM/PST.
If both effect dissolve and auto transition are selected
as attributes, the auto transition takes precedence.
Clip Auto Play: Plays a frame memory clip immediately
after the snapshot is recalled.
Table of available attributes
The attributes that can be used depend on the region, as
follows.
