When [Memory] has been selected
It is possible to write Prog output images in the memory using [Still] (still picture) or [Movie] (moving picture), and then play
the written images back.  It is possible to set the number of frames (number of pages) that can be used to a maximum of 30
(NTSC) or 26 (PAL).  However, if pages are allocated to titles, the number of pages will be reduced by the equivalent
amount.  The page allocation can be changed on the “Setup” initial setting screen.
≥Write procedure
Use the rotary 5 control to set the mode to “Write.”  
Use the rotary 2 control to select the page on which the
images are to be written.
Use the rotary 3 control to set the number of frames to be
written.  Set 1 as the number of frames for Still writing and
set a number greater than 1 for Movie writing.
Check the image to be written at the Prog output, and
when the image to be written appears, write it using
“Enter.”  In the case of Movie, the images are written
consecutively from the page designated by the rotary 2
control up to the page equivalent to the number of frames
designated by the rotary 3 control.  Any existing data will
be deleted in the process of image writing.
≥Playback procedure
Set the mode to [Preview] using the rotary 5 control.
Select the page to be played back using the rotary 2
control.
If Still images are to be played back, select [Field] output
or [Frame] output using the rotary 4 control.

If Movie images are to be played back, set the number of frames using the rotary 3 control, and select [Repeat] (repeated}
playback or [Once] (once-only) playback using the rotary 4 control.  If the setting for the number of frames exceeds the
number written using the rotary 3 control, it will be ignored.
Start the playback using [Enter].  Even when the page selected by the rotary 2 control is midway through the Movie, the
Movie is played back from its beginning.
If the settings are acceptable, use the rotary 5 control to set the mode to “Exit”, then enter the settings using “Enter.”  The
page set is recalled by the “INTVideo” button and played back.
Even when another “Matte” or “CustomColor” selection has been set using “INTVideo” upon completion of the settings, the
images previously stored in the memory can be read by selecting “Memory” again but they will be cleared after the power is
turned off.
The playback trigger is applied using “Shift” + “.”.
The “Grade” setting which was set by “BackMatte” also takes effect for “Memory.”

Images cannot be written during Movie playback.  If images are to be written, first set [Mode] to [Exit] and press the [Enter]
button to exit Movie playback, and then proceed.
