Memory Frame 7 Chapter

Frame Memory Operations

For an overview of frame memory concepts, see “Frame Memory” (page 61).

Preparations

Allocating the frame memory outputs (FM1 to FM8) to crosspoint buttons

To output a frame memory image to a monitor, for example, the output signal from the frame memory (FM1 to FM8) must be allocated to a cross-point button. Carry out this allocation in the Setup menu.

Accessing the Frame Memory menu

Most frame memory operations are carried out using the Frame Memory menu. To access the Frame Memory menu, use either of the following procedures.

•In the menu control block, select the top menu selection button [FRAME MEM].

•Press the cross-point button to which the frame memory output is allocated twice in rapid succession.

Input Image Selection

For the input image to frame memory, you can use either the signal selected on one of the two frame memory source buses or a dedicated color matte signal. When using the signal on frame memory source bus 1 or 2 for the input image, select the signal as described below.

For the method of using a color matte signal, see “Freezing an image and writing it to memory” (page 267).

Selecting the signal on a frame memory source bus

As an example, to select a signal on frame memory source bus 1, use the following procedure.

1 Using the bank selection buttons in the auxiliary bus control block, select the desired bank.
