E-MEM Operations
unanticipated transitions. This return to normal technique permits com-
pletely controllable seamless shifts between your effect recalls and runs
and your live switching.
When building effects for the show, take care that the beginning and
ending of every effect works well with the normal state. You also may wish
to apply a Source Hold to the first keyframe to ensure the last source
selected remains unchanged going into the effect.
E-MEM 300 Mode
Overview
300 Mode is an alternative Master E-MEM method of operation that
mimics the behavior of the Grass Valley Group Model 300 switcher. In this
mode, Master E-MEM Learn operations store the register numbers of the
individual M/Es, allowing the recall of different combinations of M/E reg-
isters with a single button press. In this operating mode Master E-MEM
Learn operations do not change any existing contents of the individual
M/E E-MEM registers. Only M/Es are affected. Other E-MEM levels
(DPM, Still Store, etc.) behave the same in either Normal or 300 Mode. The
current Master E-MEM operating mode is saved and loaded as a Suite Pref-
erence.
When operating in 300 Mode, the user Learns the first keyframe of each
effect into individual M/E E-MEM registers using that M/E E-MEM sub-
panel. If an effect has additional keyframes, they are created using Master
E-MEM keyframe editing (delegating that M/E and using Insert, Modify,
etc.). When all the individual M/E effects registers are complete, the user
selects the desired register on each individual M/E E-MEM subpanel, del-
egates the M/E levels involved, and then Learns that Master E-MEM reg-
ister. Recalling that Master E-MEM register then brings up the individual
M/E registers that were learned (along with the settings of any other non-
M/E delegated levels).
In general, you will need to decide which Master E-MEM operating mode
you wish to use, and then build all your effects for use in only that mode.
While effects built in one Master E-MEM mode will recall and run on a
system operating in the other mode, the results will probably not be what
you expect. If you find your effects behaving oddly, check that the correct
Master E-MEM operating mode is selected.
