Figure 4-47. Frame Grab Menu (sample)
The Frame Grab Menu enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal
frame stores. The “source” of the still frames is the system’s
BG/DSK input or the scaled
inputs.
Once captured, a still frame can be assigned as the input “type” for
BG, the DSK or the
LOGO source.
The three frame stores utilize PresentationPRO-II’s
“temp” (temporary) memory for on-air
production. During operation, you can overwrite the memory with new captured stills as
desired — as it takes only a few seconds to capture a still. Note that stills in “temp”
memory are lost when the system is powered down.
You can also store three stills in “permanent” flash memory, which will not be lost when the
system is powered down. At bootup, the contents of flash memory is read into “temp”
memory for use on-air. It takes several minutes to save a still into permanent memory, and
this procedure should not be performed on-air. Permanent frames can also be overwritten.
