Control block Device control block (trackball) Utility/shotbox control block Menu panel Event • VTR/disk recorder/frame memory clip playback, stop, fast forward, rewind, cue-up, start point setting • Recording to VTR/disk recorder • Frame memory clip loop setting • Recalling functions assigned to memory recall buttons • Selection of effect execution, rewind, execution direction • Loading of disk recorder files • Recalling the functions assigned to [PREFS 1] to [PREFS 16] buttons • Executing menu macros • Recalling frame memory clips • Trigger test output from GPI port a) In the case of an event that inserts or removes a key, the state at the time of event registration (inserted or not inserted) is also saved in the macro. When the macro is executed, the event is only replayed if the key state matches the saved state. Example: For a macro with an event that removes a key, when the macro is executed, the key is removed if it is inserted, but otherwise remains unchanged. b) Enabled if a function is assigned to the button in the Setup menu. point buttons on the cross-point control block (utility/ shotbox mode). Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with Rate): When registering an auto transition macro event in the transition control block or transition control block (simple type), include the transition rate. Macro AT with A/B Bus (Macro Auto Trans Event with A/B Bus): When registering an auto transition macro event in the transition control block or transition control block (simple type), include the background A/B bus cross-point. Macro TL with Region (Macro Timeline with Region): When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast forward as a macro event, include the target region. Events requiring adjustment when creating a macro The following events require time for execution to complete, and therefore when executed within a macro sequence, a pause event must be inserted to adjust the timing. • Rewinding effects involving external device control • VTR/disk recorder cue-up For example, create a macro to cue up a VTR and then play back as follows. Macro Creation and Editing You can create or edit a macro by recalling a macro register. To create a new macro, recall an empty macro register, and create the desired sequence of events (by executing the sequence of operations on the control panel that you want to save as events in the macro). To add an event to an existing macro, recall the register holding the macro, and create the event you want to add. Note While editing a macro, it is not possible to execute another macro. Creating a macro To include all information associated with an operation when registering a macro event When registering an auto transition operation as an event, you can register the auto transition event to include the transition rate and background A/B bus selection status. When registering an effect execution, rewind, or fast forward as an event, you can also save the region to which this applies. The following functions can be assigned to the user preference buttons on the menu panel, the memory recall buttons on the utility/shotbox control block, or the cross- Macro event execution order: Macro events: Editing a macro You can carry out the following macro editing operations. Event insertion Insert the control panel operation as an event in a macro. Event modification Modify any event. Event deletion Delete an event. You can delete all events within a macro, or events within a specified range in a single operation. You can then paste the deleted event using the paste function. Event copy Copy an event. You can copy all events within a macro, or events within a specified range in a single operation. Event paste You can paste a copied or deleted event at a desired position within a macro. Undoing an editing operation You can undo the last event insertion, modification, or paste operation. 346
