Snapshots

Overview

The term "snapshot" refers to a function whereby the
various settings required to apply a particular effect to an
image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as
required, to reproduce the original state.
You perform snapshot operations using the numeric
keypad control block, Flexi Pad control block, or the
menu.
Note
If the switcher bank is set to [Inhibit] setting, it is not
possible to recall a snapshot on that bank (see page 408).

Snapshot Types

Snapshots are classified as follows.
Snapshots applying to a particular region
(functional block of the switcher or DME)
The term "snapshot" alone usually refers to this type of
snapshot. This only applies to regions assigned to region
selection buttons in the numeric keypad control block.
For details about regions, see "Regions" (page 297).
Master snapshot: This applies to the selected region and
the register numbers saved in the region.
A master snapshot can be saved and recalled using the
numeric keypad control block.
Snapshots applying only to particular functions
This type of snapshot includes the following.
Key snapshot: This includes the key on/off state and all
key settings other than key priority for each keyer (see
page 124).
Wipe snapshot: This includes the wipe settings of each of
the banks (see page 136).
DME wipe snapshot: This includes the DME wipe
settings of each of the banks (see page 149).
Chapte
This section describes the snapshots that apply to a
particular region.

Snapshot Attributes

An individual snapshot may also have attached special
conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the
snapshot is recalled.
These conditions are called "attributes" of the snapshot,
and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled.
Types of attribute
There are seven snapshot attributes, as follows.
Cross-point hold (Xpt Hold): When the snapshot is
recalled, the cross-point button selection information
remains unchanged. This can be set independently for
each bus.
Key disable: When the snapshot is recalled, the key
settings remain unchanged.
This can be set independently for each keyer.
A Setup menu allows you to select whether or not the
key on/off state should also remain unchanged.
For details, see "Setting the operation mode of the key
bus [XPT HOLD] button" (page 449).
Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the
snapshot recall to the snapshot settings changes
smoothly (dissolve). The dissolve duration can be set
in the Snapshot menu.
Auto transition: An auto transition starts the instant the
snapshot is recalled. The auto transition setting is valid
only for M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, M/E-4, M/E-5, and
PGM/PST.
Note
If both effect dissolve and auto transition are selected
as attributes, the auto transition takes precedence.
GPI output: A GPI output is sent to the preassigned GPI
port the instant the snapshot is recalled.
The trigger type depends on the switcher GPI output
settings made in the Setup menu.
