The rest of this section describes the snapshots that apply to a particular region
or regions.

Snapshot Attributes

An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to
switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled.
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when
the snapshot is saved or recalled.

Types of attribute

There are five snapshot attributes, as follows.

Cross-point hold:

When the snapshot is recalled, the cross-point button

selection remains unchanged. This can be set independently for each bus.

Key disable:

When the snapshot is recalled, the key settings remain

unchanged. This can be set independently for each keyer. A Setup menu
allows you to select whether or not the key on/off state should also remain
unchanged.

For details of the setting operation, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes,
Frame Memory and Color Correction (Key/Wipe/FM/CCR Menu)” in the
Chapter 20 (Volume 3).

Effect dissolve:

The transition from the state before the snapshot recall to the

snapshot settings is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve. The dissolve
duration can be set in the Snapshot menu.

Auto transition:

An auto transition starts the instant the snapshot is recalled.

The auto transition setting is valid only for M/E-1 and PGM/PST.

Note

If both effect dissolve and auto transition are selected as attributes, the auto
transition takes precedence.

GPI output:

A GPI output is sent to the allocated GPI port the instant the

snapshot is recalled.
The trigger type depends on the switcher GPI output settings made in the
Setup menu.

For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface
Menu)” under “Switcher Setup” in Chapter 20 (Volume 3).

Clip event:

Recall a frame memory clip immediately after the snapshot is

recalled.
