Clip and Still Caching
Loading a clip or still will automatically cache it, if necessary. However,
you will want to be sure all the material you need for a show is cached in
advance, to permit immediate access to the material. Material can be
cached in a variety of ways:
•
Load the item to a Still Store Preset or Program output using the Still
Store menu (see
•
Load the item to a Still Store output using the Machine Control sub-
panel (see
•
If you created E-MEMs specifying Still Store material, recall and run
these E-MEMs before the show (see
). An effect may not run
correctly the first time if the Still Store material was not cached, but
running the E-MEM in advance initiates cache operations that will
make the material instantly available later.
Note
When the cache is full, loading new material will cause existing cached mate-
rial to be overwritten. Generally the oldest material cached will be the first
material overwritten.
When an output channel is involved in a disk file transfer that channel is
not available for use, and only one disk file transfer is supported at a time.
The other Still Store output channels remain available during a transfer,
however, and can be used to access and display any currently cached mate-
rial.
Once material is cached, it remains available even if the current folder is
changed (the items will be shaded). Once an item originating from a dif-
ferent folder becomes uncached, however, it becomes inaccessible until the
folder in which that item resides is accessed again.
