How to perform transitions, using keys and key modifiers, memories and custom controls, as well as Media-Store operation.
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. These files are stored into Sets on USB drive. Different Sets can be created for different shows or applications, allowing you to quickly locate and recall the switcher configurations.
To Load a Set
Load the switcher set to restore a copy of the previous configuration of the switcher.

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 three basic types of video sources, external, internal, and follows.
- 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, MiniME™, or Canvas. 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 MiniME™, Canvas. Up to 100 memory registers per MiniME™ or Canvas can be stored and recalled on the switcher. Each of these memory registers can store as little as the information of one MiniME™, or as much as the current state of the entire switcher, including all MiniME™, Canvas Aux Buses, and DVE settings.
- 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. These files are stored into Sets on USB drive. Different Sets can be created for different shows or applications, allowing you to quickly locate and recall the switcher configurations.
  - To Store a Set
    Store the switcher set to retain a copy of the current configuration of the switcher.
  - To Load a Set
    Load the switcher set to restore a copy of the previous configuration of the switcher.
- Media-Store
  The MediaManager interface to the Media-Store allows you to load stills, animations, or audio files from the USB drive and make them available across all MEs. Up to 24 (7 in UHDTV1) independent channels of video with alpha for playout of stills and animations are available switcher-wide. The MediaManager interface to the Media-Store allows you to load stills, animations, or audio files from the USB drive. Up to 24 (7 in UHDTV1) independent channels of video with alpha for playout of stills and animations are available switcher-wide.
- 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 Load a Set

Load the switcher set to restore a copy of the previous configuration of the switcher.

Note: If you are updating an older setup file, you must perform a Recall All followed by a Store All. This updates the setup files the latest format. You can then make changes and store to individual registers if needed.

Insert a USB drive into the USB Port on the frame. You must wait 5 seconds for the switcher to recognise the USB drive.

Tip: If you do not have a USB drive, you can recall the set from temporary storage. This set will be lost when the switcher restarts. Importing a set from an external computer will be stored in the temporary storage.
Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > System > Load Sets.

Tip: Click Refresh Sets to update the list of available sets on the USB.

Tip: You can import a switcher set from your local computer in the Import Set to Available Sets area. Click Import As and navigate to the folder where the set is stored and click Open. It may take several minutes for the set to upload to the switcher.
Click an Available Sets button to select the set you want to load the switcher register from.
Click a Load Set from USB button to load that register. Only those registers that are present in the set are shown.
- All — recall all registers from the set.
- Memories — recall only the memory registers from the set.
- Customs — recall only the custom control registers from the set.
- Sequences — recall only the Sequencer registers from the set.
- Installation — recall only the installation registers from the set.
- Personality — recall only the personality registers from the set.
