Still Store Menus
When an item is loaded to either a Program or Preset button it is automati-
cally locked into the cache, which protects it from being overwritten by
other caching operations. When an item is unloaded from an output, either
by being replaced with another item or with the
Unload Output button, the
item is automatically unlocked from the cache and becomes subject to
being overwritten (if it is not loaded on another output).
Preset Transfer to Program
The arrow transfer button between the delegation buttons swaps the
current Preset item with the Program output. item. Pressing the button
repeatedly swaps the items back and forth.
Still and Clip Selection
The left pane is used as a browser for selecting still or clip items for the del-
egated Still Store output. The scrolling list displays all the items saved in
the currently selected folder (see Folder Browser and Still Store File Ops Menu
on page 278 ), and also displays cached items from different folders (these
items are shaded). The item associated with the currently delegated output
is highlighted. Changing output delegation scrolls the browser to show
that output’s item. Touching an item on the scrolling list loads it to the del-
egated Still Store output, caching the item if necessary. The current item
selection on a Still Store output is keyframeable (see
page 437 ).
Icons indicate if the item is cached, is a still or a clip, is a video/key pair or
video only, and other information (see Still Store Icons
on page 275 ). Some of
this information for the currently selected item is also displayed at the
upper left corner of the pane.
The Auto Load button can be used to control the loading of items to outputs
when they are selected in the browser. This makes it possible to select a clip
or animation to delete without having to wait for it to first load to an
output. By default Auto Load is enabled, so clips load automatically when
selected. Turning Auto Load off allows an item to be selected without
loading it to an output. Auto Load is automatically re-enabled each time
the user leaves the Still Store group of menus.
The Go To button can be used to quickly access a particular clip. Touching
this buttons opens a numeric keypad. Entering the number of an item will
scroll the list to that item. You can then load it to an output.
When you touch an output that has a clip loaded, the selection pane will
automatically scroll to and select that item. The
Lock button prevents this
scrolling behavior (but does not prevent the item from being selected), so
you can quickly load adjacent items on the list to multiple outputs.
