E-MEM (Effects Memory)
An edit cursor is also available, which can be used during effect editing.
Usually the time and edit cursors are superimposed on one another and
move as one. When separated, editing actions occur at the edit cursor loca-
tion.
Number of E-MEM Levels and Sublevels
The Kalypso E-MEM system has 19 levels. Fifteen of the E-MEM levels
have dedicated Enable buttons in the Master E-MEM subpanel (M/E 1-3,
Pgm Pst, Misc 1-7, DPM, and SS A-C). Each M/E also has an independent
secondary level (available with the DoubleTake option) that is special. Sec-
ondary levels have no dedicated Master E-MEM Enable button. A sec-
ondary E-MEM level is attached to another level. This peer relationship is
one directional. The Secondary level is controlled by the level to which it is
attached, but not visa-versa.
The Kalypso E-MEM system also has several sublevels. E-MEM sublevels
can be assigned to an E-MEM level, which provides flexibility in config-
uring the Kalypso E-MEM system to control desired portions of the
switcher and related devices.
Each Aux bus, Still Store output, GPI output, PBus device, External Device,
etc. is a sublevel. The associations of sublevels to levels is completely flex-
ible. Any sublevel can be assigned to any level. For example, a DDR or
PBus device can be mapped to an M/E level. This can be useful if, for
example, a specific M/E is always used for a replay effect. The external
device playing back the animation, a still store output and possibly other
sublevels can all be assigned to that M/E's Primary level and the M/E
E-MEM panel will control the entire effect. Sublevels can also be discon-
nected from E-MEM control by assigning them to no level.
Each M/E also has sublevels for each keyer, each complex wipe generator,
each keyer's transform engine parameters, etc. Unlike other sublevels, all
M/E sublevels are always mapped to either the M/E primary level or the
M/E secondary level, based on the DoubleTake M/E partition information.
The M/E partition boundary information is itself a special sublevel, but
contains no key frames since changing the M/E partition within an effect is
not possible.
Auto Recall and Effect Levels
The Kalypso system has an Auto Recall feature. This feature makes a
recalled effect automatically enable all the levels (and associated sublevels)
that were involved in that effect when the effect was learned. This is a
useful feature, since is can be difficult to remember all the levels involved
in every learned effect, and time is required to manually enable levels
before recall. The Auto Recall feature is on by default, but can be turned off
to permit manual level enabling.
