3.4.1 Memory: What Is Saved? And Where?

Bay Cat X’s automatic memories work well, but the best way to save and recall is with the numbered memory slots, because they recall everything.

In the Bay Cat X some parameters (values) are associated with the mode. The mode is primarily the horizontal and vertical resolution and the vertical frequency of the incom- ing source picture. It is more than this, but if you think of it this way, you will be close enough.

Some parameters are associated with the input. The input in this instance means the input connector: Analog 1, Digital, Composite Video, etc.

✎The parameters specific to Mode and Input are saved in memory slots.

Some parameters are global, that is, they are not associ- ated with either the mode or the input connector, and are not saved to memory slots. They are universal.

Memory

The Bay Cat X remembers the last 10 modes it received and all the mode parameters associated with them.

Switching modes

For instance, suppose you set up the Black and White Levels for a 1024x768 @ 65Hz vertical from a computer connected to Analog. Then later, using the same input con- nector but a different computer you set up the Bay Cat X for a 1600x1200 @ 60Hz. You re-adjust the Black and White Levels, because they are different.

Still later you plug in the first computer with its 1024x768 @ 65Hz picture. Immediately, the Bay Cat X recognizes that it has seen this signal type before, and it recalls the Black and White Levels from its internal mem- ory.
