see "Assigning a Bus to an AUX Delegation Button"
in Chapter 19 (Volume 2).

In the key row of the bank selected in step 1, select the
signal to be used for the input image.
To select a signal with a key or DME effect applied
on the frame memory source bus
In the key control block or in the M/E-1 >Key1 >Processed
Key menu, press the [FM FEED] button.
This automatically assigns the key fill and key source
signals being keyed by the currently selected keyer to
frame memory source buses 1 and 2.
When DME is selected on the keyer, the key fill and key
source signals to which a DME effect is applied are
assigned.

Capturing and Saving an Input
Image
As the input material for the frame memory, you can use
the signal selected on the frame memory source bus. For
this signal you can use video processing (video levels or
hue value adjustment) or masking.
Allocating a frame memory source bus signal to one of
FM1 to FM8, then carrying out a freeze captures a still
image in the corresponding frame memory output image,
and saves it in temporary memory.
For a freeze, an image can be captured either as video
frame (a "frame freeze") or a video field ("field freeze").
Notes
When the system is powered off, any freeze images written
to temporary memory are lost.
Freezing an image and writing it to
memory
To freeze the signal selected as input material, and write it
to memory, use the following procedure.
1
In the Frame Memory menu, select VF1 'Still' and
HF2 'Freeze/Store.'
The Freeze/Store menu appears.
2
Select the target frame memory.
