Macros
The number of macros per configuration is determined by the size and
number of Stripes in the Karrera system. The following is used to deter-
mine the total number:
• Stripes (1-4),
• Key row number (1-2),
• Shift level number (1-4), and
• Source button number (1-32).
For example:
4-ME with 35 button rows:
• 2 key rows
• 4 shift levels
• 32 source buttons for macros
=999 macros (maximum supported) or,
2ME with 25 source button rows:
• 2-ME
• 2 key rows
• 4 shift levels
• 22 source buttons for macros
=352 macros
Macro registers can be saved to disk and reloaded, making the total
number of pre-made macros available to a Karrera system unlimited.
Macros apply to the point of use active during the macro recording. For
example, recording a macro that turns on Matte Fill on ME 1 Keyer 1 will
affect ME 1 Keyer 1 when it is played back, regardless of what keyer the
Control Panel happens to be delegated to when the macro is played.
Macros record triggers, not the result of a trigger. For example, a macro con-
taining a Key Mix transition, when run, will trigger the key transition from
its current state to the other state. If the keyer is on, it will mix off, and if off,
it will mix on.
Macro Playback
Macros can be played back from the currently delegated Macro row of
source select buttons on the Control Panel and the Macros menu. Macros
can also be attached to other panel buttons for playback.
Macros are low tally when a macro has been recorded and OFF when no
content exists. When a macro is executed, the button turns high tally orange
