Note
It is not possible to save an image moved with the reposition function directly
to frame memory.
Fixing the output image selection (lock function)
For the output of each of FM1 to FM8, this fixes the image at the current
output. When this lock is enabled, even if the output is recalled in a snapshot
or keyframe, the images output to FM1 to FM8 are preserved.
Continuously capturing still images (record)
You can continuously capture (freeze) a sequence of input video frames and
store the sequence of the still images over a specified time interval.
The name of each image recorded in this way consists of a first character string
followed by a second string.
First character string: A common part of name assigned to all the still images
captured in one record operation. This string includes a maximum of four
characters, which can be specified using a menu before carrying out the
capture. The first string is automatically used as the clip name when the
images are treated as a frame memory clip.
Second character string: A four-digit number (0000 or greater), which is
incremented each time a still image is captured.
Notes
When using the record function to continuously capture frames, it is not
possible to use the mask function.
On the MVS-8000, the image file name is “anmxxyyy” (“anm” is constant,
“xx” is a two-digit number from 00 to 99 incremented by 1 for ever recording
operation, and “yyy” is a three-digit number from 000 to 999, incremented
by 1 for each captured image).
Recalling a continuous sequence of still images (animation)
You can use a continuous sequence of images captured with the record function
as keyframes to create an effect. By executing this effect you can recall the
continuous sequence (animation).
Notes
For example, to create an effect using FM1, FM1 must be assigned to a user
region. (For details of user region settings, see “Settings for Switcher
Configuration (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).)
To execute the effect, you must assign the user region to which FM1 is
assigned to a region selection button in the numeric keypad control block.
