Files
Overview of File
Operations
You can save register data, including setup information
and snapshot information, as a file on a hard disk or
memory card, and recall it as required.
You can operate on individual files or registers, or together
in a batch.
Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image
data stored in an external device into frame memory. You
can also convert the format of image data in frame memory
into a different format and save it in an external device.
Files that can be manipulated
The following files can be saved and recalled.
• Operation mode setup data for system as a whole and
individual devices
• Device status data for system startup
• Key memory setting data
• Video process memory setting data
• Keyframe effect setting data
• Snapshot setting data
• Wipe snapshot setting data
• DME wipe snapshot setting data
• Key snapshot setting data
• Shotbox setting data
• Macro setting data
• Macro attachment data
• Menu macro setting data
• Frame memory image data

File operations
You can carry out the following file operations.
Chapter
When operating on individual files or registers
Save: Save the data in a register to the hard disk or
memory card.
Load: Load a file from the hard disk or memory card.
Copy: Copy a file within a directory or from one directory
to another. When a remote panel is used, this function
applies to it, too.
Rename: Rename a file on the hard disk or memory card.
Delete: Delete a file from the hard disk or memory card.
When operating on files or registers in a batch
The Save, Load, Copy and Delete operations are
performable.
Notes on transferring multiple frame memory
files together to a memory card
• Transferring all of the files within frame memory
together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too
small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with
a larger capacity memory card, or delete files until
saving is possible.
The following table roughly shows the relation between
memory card capacity and number of files that can be
saved.
Memory card Number of files that can be saved
capacity
SD system
256 MB 214
Note that when transferring to the hard disk, there is ample
capacity, so that problems such as this do not occur.
• If you cancel the operation during a data transfer
between frame memory and hard disk or memory card,
then an image which was not completely transferred will
not be reproducible. Avoid canceling such operations.
• When loading a file from hard disk or memory card, if
[Freeze Enable] in the Freeze menu is on, the loaded file
may sometimes be overwritten by the frame memory
input image.
To avoid this when loading a file, ensure that [Freeze
Enable] is turned off.
