• When the system signal format is 4K, assign the frame memory source bus to either the box that is using FM1 to FM6 or to the box that is using FM7 to FM12. Group mode (combine channels) When group mode is enabled on consecutive oddnumbered and even-numbered frame memory output channels, the two channels are combined. Frame memory operations control the combined frame memory output channels. When combined content is selected, content 1 and content 2 of the combined content are recalled on the two combined frame memory output channels, respectively. V/K mode When V/K mode is enabled, selecting a signal on the frame memory source 1 bus will automatically select the paired key signal on the frame memory source 2 bus. Frame Memory Content The following two types of content can be created in frame memory. Still image content: Freeze a point in the input signal and save as a still image. Each frame memory contains single still image content. Video content: Specify a start point and stop point in the input signal, and save as video content. Each video content is composed by a continuous series of still images. The collection of still images creating the video content are referred to as a series of still images. Content is managed using the Home > Content menu. For details, see "Chapter 20 Content Management" (page 347). Notes on saving or recalling a frame memory in a snapshot or effect timeline • Only still image content and video content recalled on frame memory output channels (FM1 to FM16) can be the target for snapshots or effect timelines. • To recall a frame memory using a snapshot or effect timeline, the still image content and video content must exist in frame memory in the same condition as when it was saved. Load the target content in frame memory beforehand so that it is available for use when the recall operation occurs. Supported formats Frame memory supports content in the following file formats. Note Operation is not guaranteed for all content in the following file formats. Still image content: • TIFF file • BMP file • TARGA file • PNG file • Frame memory dedicated still image file Video content: • MOV file Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, 4:2:0/4:2:2 8-bit/10-bit Audio: AAC or PCM, 32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 16-bit/ 24-bit • MP4 file Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, 4:2:0/4:2:2 8-bit/10-bit Audio: AAC or PCM, 32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 16-bit/ 24-bit • Frame memory series of still images Note MOV files and MP4 files may not be displayed correctly, depending on the content. Audio content: • WAV (PCM) file 32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 16-bit/24-bit • M4A (AAC) file 32 kHz/44.1 kHz/48 kHz Combined content Content that combines two still image content resources or two video content resources is called combined content. You can combine two still image content resources (such as a video signal and key signal) or two video content resources with the same duration. When group mode is enabled and combined content is selected, content 1 and content 2 of the combined content are recalled on the two combined frame memory output channels, respectively. For details, see "Combining Content" (page 353). Audio playback In video content, audio is recorded in addition to the video. You can play recorded audio using normal video content playback. You can also play audio while recording video content to monitor the audio. To play audio, first enable audio on the target frame memory output channel for operation. 177
