4.7 Store Memory
Store memory applies only to the LGK-3901.
The main difference between DSK-3901 and LGK-3901 hardware is the store memory that is fitted to the LGK-3901.
The store memory is physically located as shown in the
accompanying diagram. DSK-3901 may be upgraded to
LGK-3901 by the addition of store memory and
appropriate options, both purchasable from Miranda
Technologies Inc (see section 9.2.3).
Figure 4.3 Store Memory location
Media files are always pre-loaded into the store memory prior to being keyed over background video. Each of the
three stores supported by LGK-3901 is assigned to one of the five available keying layers. The store-to-keyer
assignment is dynamically adjustable via the front panel (SETUP > STORES > STORES CONFIG) and its default
state following restart may be set via the Configurator tool (see section 7).
The 2GB of available store memory is split between the three stores, with the size of each store adjustable depending
on user requirements via the front panel (SETUP > STORES > STORES MEMORY). For example, the bulk of
available store memory may be required for a very large animation with much less store memory available for two still
images.
Stored images/animations can be taken to air by fade or cut transitions. An automation pre-load capability (R7) allows
the next animation to be loaded in advance, even while other animations are on-air, to avoid playout delays on-air.
