Live Input
This option is used to load images or patterns (shown in real time on the SDI
Fill and SDI Key inputs) and take them directly to the preview store. This
option is particularly useful for keying external video signals, such as moving
images from a character generator.
With the live input prompt is displayed, press the enter key to load the image
into the preview store.
To cancel a live input condition, load a library image into the preview store
and the loading action resets the condition.
Loading from FDD
Imagestore requires the 3½" floppy disks to be DOS-formatted (1.44MB) and
the files to be in a format shown in the following table. In each case the
image file extension must match the image format.
When the load from FDD prompt displayed, and a disk is in the drive, press
the enter key to load the file.
As the disk is read, each file on the disk is examined in turn and each image
file found is copied into the image library and loaded onto the preview
output. The display will acknowledge a successful or failed load.
The last image loaded from the FDD will remain in the preview store. This
allows a single image file to be easily imported and then taken immediately
to air.
The filenames of the original file forms are used to form the file name within
the image library so that FRED.JPG will be saved in Imagestore's library as
FRED.OXT.
