Frame Memory
Note
In the following signal formats, a field freeze is not 
possible.
1080PsF/23.976, 1080PsF/24, 1080PsF/25, 1080PsF/
29.97, 720P/59.94
This freezes the input image.
In this state, no freeze image has yet been saved. You 
can repeat this operation any number of times, until the 
desired freeze image is obtained.
8
When you have obtained the freeze image you want, 
press [Store] in the Freeze menu, and confirm the 
name in the keyboard window.
For details of the saved file names, see the next item, 
“File names.”
If, before saving the freeze image, you press [FM 
Output] to switch the frame memory, the freeze image 
is saved automatically in freeze memory. (Automatic 
save)
The freeze image is saved in memory, and a thumbnail 
for the video and/or key appears.
The “Remain” count under [Store], showing the 
number of images that can be saved, decreases by one 
(or by two if [Pair] is turned on in step 3).
Note
Saved freeze images are erased if you power off the 
switcher, or execute a reset with the setup menu. Freeze 
images which you do not want to erase must be saved as 
files to the hard disk or a “Memory Stick”. (See Chapter 7 
“File Operations” (page 137).)
File names
• When you press [Store], a keyboard window appears, 
and the default file name, such as “image001” appears. 
To change this, enter the file name in the keyboard 
window. (Maximum eight alphanumeric characters)
• For automatic saving, the file name is automatically set 
to “auto_000,” “auto_001,” and so on.
• For a key file, “(k)” is automatically appended to the file 
name.
Saving files with [Pair] on/off
When saving with [Pair] turned off, a file is created for 
either the video or key. (Referred to below as an “Single 
file.”)
When [Pair] is turned on, both video and key files are 
created with the same name. (Referred to below as “Pair 
files.”)
To apply a box-shaped mask to a freeze image
1
To link the video and key with a mask, press [Mask 
Link] in the Freeze menu, turning it on.

When [Mask Link] is turned off in step 1, press one of 
the output buttons ([FM1V] or [FM1K] in the example 
display of the Freeze menu on page 120), to select it.
The selected button turns light blue.
Note
Even when [Pair] is on, if [Mask Link] is off, you can 
apply different masks to the video and key. In this 
case, press the output button to select it for the 
operation.

Press [Box Mask], turning it on.
