the PATTERN area.  
The effect and position settings applied to the respective  
patterns registered as direct patterns are saved in memory  
and applied when the patterns are called next time (if  
[MODE] in the [SETUP] menu is set to [PRESET]).  
Any settings made for the patterns not registered as  
direct patterns are not saved in memory. In addition, when  
a pattern is called, the setting values common to the  
applicable patterns are displayed in the menu.  
For pattern numbers, refer to “List of Transition  
Patterns” and “List of Key Patterns” at the back of  
Volume 2.  
NOTE  
If the pattern corresponding to the entered number is  
already assigned to other button, the button flashes.  
In this case, return to Step 3, select the button, and  
enter other pattern number.  
Key patterns are assigned to the direct key pattern  
buttons and transition patterns are assigned to the  
direct transition pattern buttons.You cannot assign  
any transition pattern to a direct key pattern button  
or any key pattern to a direct transition pattern  
button.  
The [DIRECT PATTERN] submenu of the [SETUP] menu  
can be used to change direct pattern assignment to each  
button.

Relationship between Internal Video Save  
and Internal Memory  
When internal video is saved, the [MEMORY] submenu of

7
PAGE: First page to save  
• FRAME: No. of pages to save  
If the number of saved pages is 1 (“FRAME” is set to 1),  
the video is saved as a still picture. If the number of saved  
pages is 2 or more (“FRRAME” is set to 2 or more), the  
video is saved as a movie.  
Set the gradation position using the rotary 5  
control while holding down the SHIFT key.  
NOTE  
Both a still picture and a movie can be saved in internal  
memory. In this case, however, the total of saved pages  
must be equal to or less than the maximum number of  
frames.  
For example, if the memory size (the number of frames)  
assigned for internal video is set to 4 in the [MEMORY]  
submenu of the [SETUP] menu, four still pictures can  
be saved in memory when a still picture (FRAME: 1) is  
created; only one movie can be saved in memory when a  
movie consisting of four pages (FRAME: 4) is created.  
The back matte settings are saved with the menu setting  
values ([Pb], [Pr], and [Y]) for each color.  
(However, if [PRESET] is selected in the [POWER] submenu of  
the [SETUP] menu, the settings are reset to the factory default  
settings when the unit is restarted.)

In addition to using the back matte video (page 29) and  
color bar output (the previous section) built in this unit, it  
is possible to store external video input sources in internal  
memory and create still pictures and movies.  
NOTE  
If video is saved in the memory areas overlapping those in  
which other video is already saved, the overlapping areas  
are overwritten by new data and the remaining areas for the  
previous video are cleared and filled with black image.  
Created still pictures and movies are saved with one-  
frame video as one page. The number of pages (frames)  
available for saving a created picture or movie varies with  
the video format (page 26) for the video input.
