4. EXTRA
EXTRA (Extended Transition Recall Automatic) is a software package for storing
and recalling switcher statuses and processes.
EXTRA thus permits storing and recalling individually prepared operating statuses
and sequences with different background, key sources, borders, wipe pattern posi-
tioning, coloring etc.
EXTRA is used for storing and recalling static settings (statuses, snapshots) and
interpolated timelines.
The snapshots and timelines are identified with numbers (Register 1 ... 99). The
numbers 100 ... 999 are reserved for other applications (e.g. disk).
EXTRA can be operated in two ways:
D
operation via the keys of the EXTRA panel
D
operation via the EXTRA menu, and
D operation with the Source Selection keys (EXTRA ME operation) – DD20 /
DD30 only
The number of keyframes in a timeline is only limited by the storage capacity of the
respective switcher computer and the number of mixing levels and storable func-
tions.
With the DD30 about 30 complete keyframes may be stored in one timeline. (DD20:
about 39; DD10: about 54, and DD5: about 59). If only the keyframes of one mixing
level (ME1, ME2 or PP) are to be stored, the number of possible keyframes rises
to 72.
The operator can edit a timeline in order to produce more sophisticated effects.
NOTE The maximum memory available for a timeline is 64 kB. This
corresponds to 37% of the total memory. The total memory in the
electronics box RAM for snapshots and timelines is approx.
173 kB.
