What are shot memories?

The background transition pattern, PinP size, border width, and other video effects can be registered in the memory and recalled. The memory used for this is referred to as a shot memory. By setting effect dissolve, it is possible to ensure a smooth change of the switching from the current images to the images or operations registered in the shot memory.

What are event memories?

A multiple number of the video effects which can be registered in the shot memory can be registered and continuously played back while the current event and next event are interpolated to achieve the effect of a smooth transition. A group of these events are referred to as an event memory. Up to 64 events can be registered in one event memory.

  • When operations such as playing are performed on event memories with a different system format to when the event memories were recorded, the operations will not be performed correctly.

What are macro memories?

This is a function that records a series of operations by the unit and then replays them.

What are the memory card features?

The unit’s video memory data and setup data can be stored on a memory card. Conversely, this data can be loaded from the memory card to the unit. Furthermore, it is possible to upgrade the unit’s software. It may take a while to store a moving image of a long recording time with high image quality or a still image file with high image quality on the memory card. (Approximately 10 minutes is necessary when data with total size of about 490 MB stored in “All file” is saved to a Panasonic Class 8 SDHC memory card.)

What video memory (still image data) file formats are supported?

Video memory (still image data: Still1, Still2):

File formats supported:

  • Bitmap (bmp)
  • JPEG (jpg)
  • TARGA (tga)
  • TIFF (tif)
  • GIF (gif)
  • PNG (png)

The unit supports 24-bit uncompressed or 32-bit uncompressed TARGA files. If any other types of TARGA files are loaded into the unit, black images will be displayed as the thumbnails, and the unit cannot recognize the files. Be aware that saving video memory still images on the memory card in GIF format will cause the picture quality to deteriorate.

What video memory (still image data) sizes are applicable?

  • 4K: 3840 x 2160
  • HD/1080i: 1920 x 1080
  • HD/1080PsF: 1920 x 1080
  • HD/720p: 1280 x 720

The size of images is converted automatically if it does not match any of the “applicable sizes”. The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are displayed on the computer and when they are imported into video memory (with NTSC format, they will be vertically long). To keep the images true to their actual proportions, make sure the original size is 720 x 540 pixels. If the images are in NTSC format, use images shrunk to 720 x 487 pixels. If the images are in PAL format, use images enlarged to 720 x 576 pixels.

What are the different types of video memories?

  • Video memories (moving image data: Clip1, Clip2): This is the original format of the unit. Data is stored in and read from these memories.
  • Shot memory data (Shot): Data is stored in and read from these memories.
  • Event memory data (Event): Data is stored in and read from these memories.
  • Setup data (Set Up): The “setup data” refers to all the data stored in the unit with the exception of the following data. Project files can be saved.
    • Date
