Note

In the following signal formats, a field freeze is not possible.

1080PsF/23.976, 1080PsF/24, 1080PsF/25, 1080PsF/ 29.97, 720P/59.94

This freezes the input image.

In this state, no freeze image has yet been saved. You can repeat this operation any number of times, until the desired freeze image is obtained.

8 When you have obtained the freeze image you want, press [Store] in the Freeze menu, and confirm the name in the keyboard window.

For details of the saved file names, see the next item, “File names.”

If, before saving the freeze image, you press [FM Output] to switch the frame memory, the freeze image is saved automatically in freeze memory. (Automatic save)

The freeze image is saved in memory, and a thumbnail for the video and/or key appears.

The “Remain” count under [Store], showing the number of images that can be saved, decreases by one (or by two if [Pair] is turned on in step 3).

Number of images which can be saved / maximum number of images

Note

Saved freeze images are erased if you power off the switcher, or execute a reset with the setup menu. Freeze images which you do not want to erase must be saved as files to the hard disk or a “Memory Stick”. (See Chapter 7 “File Operations” (page 137).)

File names

•When you press [Store], a keyboard window appears, and the default file name, such as “image001” appears. To change this, enter the file name in the keyboard window. (Maximum eight alphanumeric characters)

•For automatic saving, the file name is automatically set to “auto_000,” “auto_001,” and so on.

•For a key file, “(k)” is automatically appended to the file name.

Saving files with [Pair] on/off

When saving with [Pair] turned off, a file is created for either the video or key. (Referred to below as an “Single file.”)

When [Pair] is turned on, both video and key files are created with the same name. (Referred to below as “Pair files.”)

To apply a box-shaped mask to a freeze image

1 To link the video and key with a mask, press [Mask Link] in the Freeze menu, turning it on.

2 When [Mask Link] is turned off in step 1, press one of the output buttons ([FM1V] or [FM1K] in the example display of the Freeze menu on page 120), to select it.

The selected button turns light blue.

Note

Even when [Pair] is on, if [Mask Link] is off, you can apply different masks to the video and key. In this case, press the output button to select it for the operation.

3 Press [Box Mask], turning it on.

4 Set the parameters for the four sides of the box.
