Regions

The term "region" refers to a functional block of the
system.
When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect
registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the
region to which the operation applies. You can also select
multiple regions simultaneously.
Classification of the regions
The regions are classified as follows.
• Master region
• The following 32 regions
- Switcher: M/E-1, PGM/PST, User1 to User8
- External devices: P-Bus, Router, Device 1 to Device
12, GPI, Macro
Only the regions assigned to the region selection buttons of
the Flexi Pad and the memory recall buttons can be
selected simultaneously
Regions applicable to keyframe operations
All the regions above except Router.
Regions applicable to snapshot operations
Seventeen regions comprising the regions above, less the
external device regions P-Bus, Device 1 to Device 12, GPI,
and Macro.
"User" regions
You can optionally assign the following regions to the
regions User1 to User8
shown in parenthesis are the default assignments.
• Color backgrounds 1 and 2 (User1)
• AUX1 to AUX24 (User2)
• Frame Memory 1 to 8 (User4)
Notes on saving or recalling a frame memory still
image for or by a snapshot/keyframe
• The saving and recalling of frame memory images for
snapshots and keyframes is restricted to the still images
or clips on the eight frame memory outputs. The settings
made for frame memory images in the Freeze menu or
other menus do not apply to snapshots or keyframes.

Chapter
• To reproduce a frame memory still image or a clip of
them by recalling a snapshot or keyframe, you must have
the same images that were present in the frame memory
when you saved the snapshot or keyframe. Therefore,
when saving a snapshot or keyframe using frame
memory, you must also save the images to a storage
media such as the local disk.
Reference region
When multiple regions are selected, only one region
appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad
operations. This is called the "reference region."
The reference region is determined according to the
following precedence.
M/E-1 >PGM/PST >User1 >User2 >User3 >User4
>User5 >User6 >User7 >User8 >Device1 >Device2
>Device3 >Device4 >Device5 >Device6 >Device7
>Device8 >Device9 >Device10 >Device11 >Device12
>P-Bus >GPI >Router >Macro
Master region
The regions saved in a master snapshot register or master
timeline register and the register numbers saved in such
regions can be recalled at a time as the master region.
The master region can be saved or recalled using the Flexi
Pad.

Registers

A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a
snapshot (1 p. 167), keyframe, macro
on.
Keyframe effect registers
Dedicated effect registers
There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in
each region, numbered 1 to 99.
P-Bus and Device registers
There are 250 registers for P-Bus and Device1 to Device12
in each region, numbered 1 to 250.
