F keys

The Function (F) keys are multi-purpose soft keys, generally used while working in
menus. When the system is not in menu mode, F1-F5 offer immediate access to macros 1-
5. F6 accesses all the rest of the macros. In menu mode these keys access the convenient
menu functions and options. These keys are also used for Delta application and editing
SMPTE time codes.

Programming memories

selecting spots and assigning parameter values, then storing the resulting stage picture.
