266 Kalypso — User Manual
Section 3 — System Operation
All images in the working directory must have a unique image ID. This
image ID is used by macros and E-MEMs to identify the image to be loaded.
This technique is being used instead of storing the full file path in macros
and E-MEMs to make the show more portable by making it easier to resolve
file path differences between studios.
The simplest user model is for the operator to place all images into the same
directory and then to set the working directory to it.
Output
When an image is loaded to an output, the Image Manager determines if
the image is in the cache. If not, it marks the output as pending a load,
marks the image as pending a load to cache, and initiates the loading of the
image into cache. An image loaded to an output will be loaded into cache
first then loaded into the output.
Saving and Loading Still Store Environments
Environments can be saved and restored in the Save Load menu category.
The environment consists of:
• A list of all images that were loaded into the cache at any point: these
images can be viewed and selected for reloading in the Image Manager
menu category.
• And Reserved images: a reserved image (displays the Reserved icon)
is an image that was loaded from the working directory into cache or
loaded from a directory located outside the current working directory.
Note If you load a saved environment the Still Store manages “Reserved” images
by replacing any images that have the same image ID in the Image Manager
scrolling list.
Still Store Image Server and Disk Storage
Also new with V15.0 is the Image Server. An image server can be the Still
Store hard drive (the default) or any external physical disk, loaded with
Image Server Service Software (located on the System Software CD-ROM)
on an accessible network. For example a Technical Director’s laptop with a
USB stick or a graphics PC mapped to a networked storage drive can both
be Image Servers.
Figure 192 illustrates this concept. See Image Server Menu
on page 297 for more information.
Images can be saved to disk from cache, or, and also new with V15.0,
cached images can be edited and then saved to disk from cache (newly
recorded images will be saved to the working directory). As with earlier
versions, images can be loaded from disk back into cache for playback.
