New Still Store Option Operation
the image file to define what position and crop values are to be applied to
the image. This metadata can be overridden or edited to change how the
image displays.
A fenced recording, on the other hand, saves only the selected portion of
the image to disk. This can be used to reduce the amount of data saved,
which increases the number of images able to be stored and improves
loading speed. Fence size cannot be undone without re-recording the
image.
Positioning and cropping is on line and pixel boundaries. An image cannot
be moved perfectly smoothly with the Still Store (if smooth motion is
desired use a Transform Engine).
Source Selection and Video Key Pairs
Sources are selected for capture using the Local Aux panel delegated to the
Still Store Aux bus (select
Still Store ). The Still Store Aux bus always operates
as a video/key pair. Still Store outputs used for capture and playback can
be set up to operate as video/key pairs, or as video only. If the Still Store
output being used for capture is set up for video only, any accompanying
key signal on the Still Store Aux bus will be discarded. If a video only
source is selected for a Still Store output pair, a duplicate of the video image
will be captured to the key channel of the Still Store output pair. If the Local
Aux panel is set up with a split key, that split key will be captured to a
paired Still Store.
Shaped and Unshaped Still Store Video
The Still Store automatically adjusts for shaped and unshaped video (as
specified by the source definition for the captured source), and the cap-
tured video will be processed as such all the way through to the final
Kalypso system output. For example, suppose paired Still Store output 1-2
is keyed on an M/E. If a still that was captured as a shaped video/key pair
is selected on that Still Store output, the M/E will automatically use shaped
key processing. If a different still that was captured from an unshaped
video/key pair source is selected on that Still Store output, the M/E will
immediately switch to unshaped key processing. Shaping information is
included in the metadata for each Still Store item.
Still Store Configuration
Kalypso Still Store outputs are internal sources. They are managed the
same as standard external Kalypso sources, like cameras and VTRs, except
Still Store outputs do not appear in the Eng Setup-Define Sources menu.
They are available on the Eng Setup-Outputs menu, and so can be assigned
to any output connector, and are also available on the Daily Setups-Button
Mapping menu. Once a Still Store output has been mapped to a source
selection button that Still Store source can be selected for use on that bus.
