Operation Modes - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

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.
Notes
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 bus 1 and the frame memory
source bus 2.
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.

Output FM1
FM3

FM7
Pair mode
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 applies to the other pairs. When a pair of images are
captured in pair mode, the image frozen in FM1 (3, 5, or 7)
is referred to as the main file and the other frozen in FM2
(4, 6, or 8) is referred to as the sub file.
Pair files and single files
A file that can be recalled in pair mode is termed a "pair
file." A pair file can be created by setting pair mode and
capturing an image, or by using the coupling function (see
page 175) to combine two single files.
A file other than a pair file is termed a "single file." A
single file can be created by switching off pair mode and
capturing an image, or by using the separation function
(see page 175) to split a pair file.

Operation modes

The frame memory has the following operation mode.
V/K mode: When the pair mode is active, the key signal is
automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2.
This is convenient for handling the video and key
signals together in frame memory. For example, when
you select a video signal on frame memory source bus
1, the key signal assigned to it is automatically
selected on frame memory source bus 2. You can also
use the signal automatically selected on frame memory
source bus 2 as a key signal when processing keyframe
memory 1.
To change the pair mode or operation mode, use the Frame
Memory menu.
Frame memory folders
Still images and clips can be managed in a maximum of
twelve groups.
Such a group is called a "frame memory folder." Folders
can be added or deleted, and can be given a name of up to
8 characters.
Notes
• When the system is powered off, the folder names are
deleted. The folder names need to be saved on media.
• The following names cannot be used for folders.
Flash1, Flash2
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM0, COM1,
COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8,
COM9
LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7,
LPT8, LPT9
A folder named "Default" is provided, and this folder
cannot be renamed or deleted.
• Still images and clips in different frame memory folders
cannot have the same name.
