Frame memory clip: A clip consists of a sequence of still images, which

appears as a movie on playback. In this manual this is also referred to

simply as a "clip." The files (still files) constituting clips are referred to as

a "clip file."

When the above distinctions are not being made, an image is simply referred

to as an "image."

About extended clips

Of the two memory blocks for saving a clip, the clip saved in the one which is

not combined with a still image is called an "extended clip."

However, when the signal format is 1080P, since both a still image and a clip

are saved in both memory blocks, there is no extended clip.

Use of frame memory

There are eight frame memory channels, FM1 to FM8, and each channel

independently allows a freeze image to be saved or recalled.

By allocating FM1 to FM8 to cross-point buttons you can use the still image

output or clip output from each channel as input material.

However, when the signal format is 1080P, only the four options of FM1 to

FM4 can be used.

Correspondence between input and output

There are two buses for capturing frame memory material: the frame memory

source 1 bus and the frame memory source 2 bus.

These input buses are used by allocation to one of the pairs of output, FM1&2,

FM3&4, FM5&6, and FM7&8. You can freeze a frame in each channel

separately, or freeze in the two channels simultaneously.

The source buses allocated to FM1 to FM8 are as follows.

By enabling the pair mode, you can link FM1 and FM2, FM3 and FM4, FM5

and FM6, and FM7 and FM8. For example, when a freeze or image processing

is carried out on FM1, the same operation is carried out on FM2. The same
