Working with Frames/Logos
Capturing still Frames
To capture a frame, display the exact content you want to save on one of your output, at the exact resolution,
you can use the freeze button if you want. Then follow this step (choose first the source to capture in the
menu Logos/Frames -->capture sources):
Logos/Frames menu → record Frame menu→ Frame #
Select the frame number you want to save and wait until the unit finish saving. Your frame is now saved and
you can use it through the background frame button.
The capture of frames can be done only under the following conditions:
- The unit can be in Matrix Mode,
- The capture can be done the Main output or the Preview output,
- The disappearance of frames on the Preview and Main output is normal.
A frame captures the state of the specified output at the main output resolution, and must be recalled using the same
output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured frame is not possible.
The captured output is outlined by a white border and includes the pixels beneath the white border.
Working with Frames
It is possible to store up to 8 frames in the SMX200 non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used as
backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the SMX200’
12 sources and called back at the press of a single button. To use a frame, be sure first that it is well saved,
then:
Press Background Frame button → Press Frame # button
* NOTE * : Frames may be used only one at a time and cannot be placed in a layer.
