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 ME, MiniME™, Canvas, scenes, or chroma key outputs. Up to 100 memory registers per ME, MiniME™, Canvas, scene, or chroma key 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 ME, MiniME™, Canvas, scenes, chroma key outputs, Aux Buses, and DVE settings.

- 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 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, 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 ME, MiniME™, Canvas, scenes, or chroma key outputs. Up to 100 memory registers per ME, MiniME™, Canvas, scene, or chroma key can be stored and recalled on the switcher.

- 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. Audio sources can come from the embedded audio on an input BNC, through the 1RU Audio Breakout Unit, or from the Media-Store.
- 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.
- 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 4 (2 in UHDTV1) independent channels of video with alpha for playout of stills and animations are available switcher-wide.
- Clip Player
  The clip player offers a single playout channel for clips in the ITU-T H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) codec in specific HD formats that can be assigned as a source on any bus in the switcher. Basic transport controls can be performed manually from the Clip Player page, using custom controls, or through AMP commands.
- 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.
- UltraScene
  UltraScene provides a simplified interface for creating a show with multiple key layers and basic transitions.

To Recall a Memory

How to recall a memory using DashBoard.

Click Navigation Menu > Live Assist > Memory > Recall > General.
In the Inclusions area, select the ME, MiniME™, Canvas, UltraScene, and chroma keys that you want to recall the memory for.

Tip: You can deselect all inclusions for a memory so that it doesn't affect these areas. This can be used to create a memory that only recalls Media-Store or Aux bus selections.
In the Memory Recall area, click the Bank X button for the bank that you want to recall from.

Important: Clicking a X:Mem button recalls that memory.

Tip: If a memory register contains a memory for the area(s) selected in the Inclusions, the button glows purple and the areas that the register contains a memory for are listed below the memory number.
Select the recall mode for the memory.

Note: Recall attributes are color-coded for how they are going to be recalled. Refer to Memory Attribute Color Coding for information on the color meaning.
- As Stored — recall the memory with the same attributes that it was stored with.
- Program — all elements are recalled as stored (default).
- MemoryAI — current on-air elements are unchanged and the transition area is configured to take the on-air elements of the memory on-air with the next transition.
- Effects Dissolve — recall the memory with an effects dissolve to the new memory elements. The time it takes to go from the current elements to the elements in the memory is set in the Effects Duration field or using the Effect Duration From Memory.
Set the memory attributes that you want recalled with the memory. Refer to Memory Attributes for information on memory attributes.

Note: All attributes are stored in the memory. Turning individual attributes on or off sets whether that item is included with the memory recall. Individual attributes can be turned on or off when the memory is recalled.
Click the X:Mem button to recall the memory.

Tip: Click Undo to undo the last memory recall.
