Operation
How to perform transitions, using keys and key modifiers, memories and custom controls, as well as Media-Store operation.
Memory Functions
A memory register is a snapshot of the current state of the switcher that can include one or multiple MEs. Up to 100 memory registers per ME can be stored and recalled on the switcher. Each of these memory registers can store as little as the information of one ME, or as much as the current state of the entire switcher, including all MEs, Aux Buses, and DVE settings.
Memory Attributes
To Set the Memory Attributes
Memory attributes can be set when the memory is stored or when it is recalled. This procedure sets the store attributes, but the information applies to both.

Operation
How to perform transitions, using keys and key modifiers, memories and custom controls, as well as Media-Store operation.
- Audio and Video Processing
  Video and audio signals are processed and passed through the switcher in different ways, depending on how the switcher is being used or is set up. A better understanding of how the switcher is processing these signals help you to achieve the production you want.
- Video Sources
  The switcher has access to two basic types of video sources; external and internal.
- Video Layering
  How video is layered in the output of the switcher depends on how an ME is re-entered onto the other, and what keyers are on-air for the ME.
- Video Preview
  Video preview allows you to use an additional monitor to preview what the next shot is going to be.
- Matte Source
  Matte color backgrounds (BG) are color signals that can be applied to backgrounds and keys. Color selection is done either by picking a preset color, or by adjusted hue, saturation, and luminance to create a custom color.
- Copying
  You can copy the content of an ME or keyer to another ME or keyer.
- Transitions
  Transitions are used to change the background video and take keys on and off-air. A transition can include any combinations of background and keyers for an ME. The background and each keyer can be transitioned independently.
- Keying
  Keying is the term used to describe when you insert (or electronically cut) portions of one scene into another, or place titles over background images. Keys are made up of two basic components, an alpha, that cuts the hole in the background video, and a fill, that fills the hole with different video.
- Memory Functions
  A memory register is a snapshot of the current state of the switcher that can include one or multiple MEs. Up to 100 memory registers per ME can be stored and recalled on the switcher. Each of these memory registers can store as little as the information of one ME, or as much as the current state of the entire switcher, including all MEs, Aux Buses, and DVE settings.

    - To Set the Memory Attributes
      Memory attributes can be set when the memory is stored or when it is recalled. This procedure sets the store attributes, but the information applies to both.
  - Deleting a Memory
  - Memory Names and Mnemonics (TouchDrive only)
- Audio Mixer
  The audio mixer node in DashBoard provides a graphical interface to all the audio sources and mixer layers. An audio channel must be routed to the switcher to be controllable by the audio mixer interface.
- Switcher Sets
  The switcher stores configuration and operation data in a number of registers that contain the individual entries for items such as memories or personality settings. These registers can be stored as a single archive file, or as a register set that contains all the individual register of that type; all memories for example. Different Sets can be created for different shows or applications, allowing you to quickly locate and recall the switcher configurations.
- Media-Store
  The MediaManager interface to the Media-Store allows you to load stills, animations, or audio files and make them available across all MEs.
- Custom Controls
  Once programmed, a custom control (CC) can be played back by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register on an ME, performing a switcher transition, and selecting a group of keys.
- Sequencer
  The Sequencer allows you to create a playlist of custom control events.

To Set the Memory Attributes

Memory attributes can be set when the memory is stored or when it is recalled. This procedure sets the store attributes, but the information applies to both.

Click Navigation Menu > Live Assist > Memory > Store.
Click General and set the attributes as required.

Note: For information on the recall mode (Program/MemoryAI/Effects Dissolve) refer to To Store a Memory.
- Roll Clip — set whether a play command is triggered when a source that is assigned to a video server is recalled.
- Camera — set whether camera shots are recalled.
Click MEs > ME X for the ME you want to set the attributes for. The attributes for each ME are separate and must be set for each ME you want to include in the memory.
- Trans Area — set how the next transition type and parameters are recalled.
- Next Trans — set how the next transition area is recalled.
- Run Auto — set whether a transition is performed after the memory is recalled. (Not available during Effects Dissolve transitions.)
- Background Bus — set how the sources selected on the background bus are recalled.
- PST Bus — set how the sources selected on the preset bus are recalled.
- Shared Pattern — set whether the settings for the shared Key Mask/Wash pattern generator is recalled.
- Key X Bus — set whether the source selected on the key bus is recalled.
- Key X Active — set whether the on-air status of the key is recalled.
- Key X Type — set whether the key type is recalled.
- Key X Mask — set whether mask settings for the key are recalled.
Click Chroma Key > CK X for the Chroma Key you want to set the attributes for.
- Source — set whether the source selected on the chroma key bus is recalled.
- Parameters — set whether chroma key settings are recalled.
Click Auxes.
- Aux X — set whether the source selected on the aux bus is recalled.
Click Audio.

Note: If Disable Audio Memories is set to On (Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > System > Global) the audio memory attributes are disabled.
- Main — set whether the configuration of the main audio mix is recalled.
- Monitor — set whether the configuration of the monitor audio mix is recalled.
- Aux X — set whether the configuration of the aux audio mix is recalled.
