Macros for Multiple Copies or Swaps
Loading Macro Registers
Macro registers are loaded by selecting the macro register file or a folder of
macros and touching the
Load button in the File Ops, Macros menu.
Note Only the macro registers themselves are loaded with this procedure, not any
macro attachments.
Macros for Multiple Copies or Swaps
When copying or swapping several settings in turn (copying an ME to
several other MEs, for example) time may be required for one command to
complete before the next command can be serviced. If you create a macro
that performs multiple copy or swap operations, add a short delay after
each operation to ensure each completes successfully. For example, to copy
ME 1 to ME 2 and then copy ME 1 to ME 3 with a macro, include a short
delay after the ME 1 to ME 2 copy.
Macros and E-MEMs
Macros and E-MEMs can interact in two fundamentally different ways. A
Macro can be created that recalls one or more E-MEMs, or an E-MEM can
be programmed to execute one or more Macros. With care, operating both
control mechanisms together can be extremely powerful. However,
improper use can create infinite loops or other undesirable behavior. It is
especially important that your GV Switcher system be loaded with the
correct E-MEMs and Macros and is operating in the correct mode, or unpre-
dictable system behavior will result from the mismatched E-MEMs and
macros.
E-MEM Recalls in a Macro
The state of the Effects Dis and SEQ buttons are sent as part of each E-MEM
recall command. When recording E-MEM recalls to a Macro, make sure
these states are correct when you build the Macro. For example, if you want
the E-MEM effect to automatically run as a Sequence, make sure that button
is on when the E-MEM recall is recorded into the Macro.
Certain E-MEM commands that directly affect the work buffer require
special field-rate processing. This ensures all necessary processing occurs
once per field and is in sync with all the other changes occurring in that
same field. Delays are needed for multiple time cursor changes (

Prev KF , Begin , End , Go To KF , Go To Time , and Rewind ). If you wish to use two or
