and when you want to prepare that specific transition to just that source,
simply play the macro. In this example, different macros can be recorded
with different sources to allow rapid and reliable variations on the E-MEM
effect that was originally recalled.
A macro can contain several steps. Macros are executed as quickly as pos-
sible in the order the steps are recorded. It is also possible to insert delays
in a macro sequence during recording to accommodate external devices or
allow for completion of internal system events.
Macros add enormous power and flexibility to the GV Switcher system.
Simple tasks can be recorded into a macro quickly and easily for rapid and
reliable playback. Complex series of actions can also be programmed into
a macro, but careful planning is required to ensure the macro accomplishes
its intended actions for all the conditions under which it may be played
back.
Note Macro attachments are saved and loaded with Panel Prefs. One set of attach-
ments exists for each control surface. Be sure the Panel Prefs you load are
compatible with the Macro registers you are currently using, to avoid acci-
dentally running incorrect attached Macros.
Macro Recording
Macros are recorded into macro registers. The GV Switcher system has 999
macro registers. The number of steps in any specific macro or the total
number of macro steps across all macros is limited only by the amount of
available memory in the Video Processor Frame.
The number of macros per configuration is determined by the size and
number of Stripes in the GV Switcher system. The following is used to
determine 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
