Swap and Copy 9 Chapter

Basic Copy and Swap Operations

Copy and Swap Menu Operations

There are two ways of carrying out a copy operation: by using the menus or by a simple button operation. Swap operations, and operations on DME data can only be done with a menu operation.

Accessing the Copy/Swap menu

In the menu operation section top menu selection buttons, press the [Copy/ Swap] button. The Copy/Swap menu appears.

Here a copy/swap operation on wipe data is described by way of example, using the Copy/Swap>Wipe menu, but the same general procedure applies to all of the following menus.

M/E: Copying and swapping M/E data

Key: Copying and swapping key data

Wipe: Copying and swapping wipe data

DME Wipe: Copying and swapping DME wipe data

Matte: Copying and swapping matte data

Color: Copying and swapping color data

DME: Copying and swapping data by DME channels

For an overview of the concepts involved, see “Copy and Swap” (page 79).

Note

To use DME requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set.

Copying and swapping wipe data

As an example, to copy or swap wipe data, use the following procedure.

1 In the Copy/Swap menu, select HF3 ‘Wipe.’

The Copy/Swap>Wipe menu appears.

The status area shows lists for the copy/swap source on the left, and the copy/swap destination on the right.

2 In the <Data Select> group, select any of the following.

Wipe: The operation applies to wipes in the transition control block.

Key Wipe: The operation applies to wipes in the independent key transition control block.
