An edit cursor is also available, which can be used during effect editing.
Usually the time and edit cursors are superimposed on one another and
move as one. When separated, editing actions occur at the edit cursor loca-
tion.
Number of E-MEM Levels and Sublevels
The Kayenne E-MEM system has 31 levels with dedicated Enable buttons
in the Master E-MEM Module (see Master E-MEM Module
on page 95 ),
including an independent secondary level (Split Mode). A secondary
E-MEM level is attached to another level. This peer relationship is one
directional. The Secondary level is controlled by the level to which it is
attached, but not vice versa.
The Kayenne E-MEM system also has several sublevels. E-MEM sublevels
can be assigned to an E-MEM level, which provides flexibility in config-
uring the Kayenne E-MEM system to control desired portions of the
switcher and related devices.
Each Aux bus, Image Store output, GPI output, PBus device, External
Device, etc. is a sublevel. The associations of sublevels to levels is com-
pletely flexible. Any sublevel can be assigned to any level. For example, a
DDR or PBus device can be mapped to an ME level. This can be useful if,
for example, a specific ME is always used for a replay effect. The external
device playing back the animation, an Image Store output and possibly
other sublevels can all be assigned to that ME's Primary level and the Local
E-MEM Module will control the entire effect. Sublevels can also be discon-
nected from E-MEM control by assigning them to no level.
Each ME also has sublevels for each keyer, each complex wipe generator,
each keyer's transform engine parameters, etc. Unlike other sublevels, all
ME sublevels are always mapped to either the ME primary level or the ME
secondary level, based on the DoubleTake ME partition information. The
ME partition boundary information is itself a special sublevel, but contains
no key frames since changing the ME partition within an effect is not pos-
sible.
Auto Recall and Effect Levels
The Kayenne system has an Auto Recall feature. This feature makes a
recalled effect automatically enable all the levels (and associated sublevels)
that were involved in that effect when the effect was learned. This is a
useful feature, since is can be difficult to remember all the levels involved
in every learned effect, and time is required to manually enable levels
before recall. The Auto Recall feature is on by default, but can be turned off
to permit manual level enabling.
