SET VIDEO MEMORY MODE, VIDEO MEMORY OUTPUT
39) SET VIDEO MEMORY MODE
Function: Sets the Video Memory Mode.
Format: Integer
Explanation: In normal player operation the Video Memory Mode is disabled and
all video passes through the video memory buffer. The initial
setting is 0. To grab a frame of video or a separate field and display
it from memory, Video Memory Mode must be enabled. This can be
done with the command "1MM."
This command is the first in a sequence of commands that allows
holding a still frame or field in memory and displaying it. The
command "0MM" is sent to return the player to Video Memory
Mode disable. The completion status is returned immediately.
NOTE: Video Memory Mode can also be enabled by using Register
G, the RG command. See description of Register G on page 4-56.
Execution: * Initial Setting 0MM (Video Memory Mode disabled)
1 M M <C/R>

40) VIDEO MEMORY OUTPUT
Function: Selects the memory bank from which a field of stored video or
continuous video is output. Or Bank 0 is selected to output
Field 1 and Field 2 of a full Frame.
Format: Integer
Explanation: The LD-V8000 has two video memory banks (0 and 1). Playback video
is always passed through the video memory buffer. The VM
command is used to select Bank 0 or Bank 1 for output video. Bank 0
or 1 are selected when Video Memory Mode/Field Mode is selected. If
Frame Mode is selected, there is no need to use this command. (In
Frame Mode, 0 and 1 VM have the same effect). The default setting is
0. The completion status is returned immediately.
