Snapshots 13 Chapter Overview A snapshot is a function that saves the conditions configured for applying an effect to an image as data in memory (snapshot register) which can be recalled to reproduce the same conditions as required. 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 406). 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 295). Master snapshot: In a snapshot that targets the region, this applies to the selected region and the register numbers saved in the region. 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 138). Wipe snapshot: This includes the wipe settings of each of the banks (see page 151). DME wipe snapshot: This includes the DME wipe settings of each of the banks (see page 166). 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 a cross-point hold button on the key bus" (page 468). 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 simultaneously after 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. Clip Auto Play: Plays a frame memory clip immediately after the snapshot is recalled. Table of available attributes The attributes that can be used depend on the region, as follows. 327
