If you press Store or Ins, any tH is set at 0 frames. tT is entered together with the
corresponding keyframe. The duration of the timeline is the sum of all transition
times tT.
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. For
further information please refer to section EXTRA Editor.
