To Load Stills Using Media Numbers
How you load a still using the media number depends
on whether the Place or Media are locked. If the Place
is locked, you only have to enter the 3-digit Media
number. If the Place and Media are locked, you only
have to enter the last digit of the Media number.
Note: Loading 000 clears the current Media-Store channel.
