Outputting Color Bars 
[COLOR BAR]
To output color bars as internal video, select [COLOR BAR] 
of the [INT VIDEO] menu using the rotary 1 control.
Using Still Pictures or Movies as 
Internal Video [MEMORY]
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.
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.

However, if a title created as a title key or downstream 
key is saved as a page, a reduced number of pages are 
available for saving the still picture or movie. 
The page count ratio for the title and still picture or movie 
can be changed from the [MEMORY] submenu of the 
[SETUP] menu ( page Vol.2-27).
Use the [MEMORY] submenu of the [INT VIDEO] menu to 
create and display still pictures and movies.
If a still picture is created, “ST (STILL)” and the number of 
pages are displayed in the internal video display area in the 
upper portion of the Setting screen. If a movie is created, 
“MV (MOVIE)” and the number of pages are displayed.
Relationship between Internal Video Save 
and Internal Memory
When internal video is saved, the [MEMORY] submenu of 
the [SETUP] menu is used to set the following to save the 
video in internal memory.
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.
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.

 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.
