9 To set the background signal to black, press [Bkgd Black], turning it on.
Notes
•When the background signal is originally black, [Bkgd Black] remains on.
•When the background signal is a freeze image (an image frozen, but not saved), turning [Bkgd Black] on erases the unsaved freeze image and, as a result, [Bkgd Black] remains on.
10In the <Type> group, set the type of combination (see page 505).
11In the state in which you want to freeze, press one of the following in the <Freeze> group, to write the freeze image to temporary memory.
Frame: Freeze one frame.
Field: Freeze one field.
Off: Release the freeze, and delete the recorded freeze image.
After carrying out the freeze, to return to the state immediately before the freeze, press [Undo] in the <Freeze> group.
Notes
•All freeze images written to temporary memory are lost when the system is powered off.
•If you change the frame memory to use as in step 2 before saving the freeze images written to temporary memory, all the freeze images in temporary memory are lost, unless the auto store function has been enabled in setup. With the auto store function enabled, the freeze images written to temporary memory are saved automatically when the frame memory selection is changed.
•For the following signal formats, a field freeze is not possible. 1080PsF/23.976, 1080PsF/24, 1080PsF/25, 1080PsF/29.97, 720P/50, 720P/59.94
