Operation Modes - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

Correspondence between input and output
There are two buses for capturing frame memory material:
frame memory source bus 1 and frame memory source bus
2.
These input buses are used by assigning them to one of the
FM1&2, FM3&4, FM5&6, or FM7&8 output pairs. You
can freeze a frame on each separately, or freeze in both
simultaneously.
The source buses assigned to FM1 to FM8 are as follows.
Input bus Frame memory
source 1 bus
Outputs FM1
FM3
FM5
FM7
Pair mode
By enabling the pair mode, you can link FM1 with FM2,
FM3 with FM4, FM5 with FM6, and FM7 with FM8. For
example, when a freeze or image processing is carried out
on FM1, the same operation is carried out on FM2.
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 170) 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 170) to split a pair file.

Operation modes

The frame memory has the following operation mode.
V/K mode: When pair mode is active, the key signal is
automatically selected on the frame memory source 2
bus. This is convenient for handling the video and key
signals together in frame memory. For example, when
you select a video signal on the frame memory source
1 bus, the key signal assigned to it is automatically
selected on the frame memory source 2 bus. You can
also use the signal automatically selected on the frame
memory source 2 bus as a key signal when processing
keyframe memory 1.
Frame memory folder
Still images and clips can be managed by division into a
maximum of twelve groups.
Such a group is called a "frame memory folder." Folders
can be added or deleted. Folders can be given a name of up
to 8 characters.
