Operator`s manual

A Synergy 4 MD-X can have up to 19 still stores running simultaneously when the 3
Channel Global-Store and all MLE-Stores are installed.
MediaCache for MLE-Store works the same as MediaCache for Global-Store. Each MLE-
Store output is capable of playing full bandwidth clips independently and simultaneously.
The purchase of MediaCache for MLE-Store increases the RAM capacity available to the
MLE from 256MB to 1GB. This allows storage of up to 4 seconds of uncompressed 1080i
playout or 25 Seconds of 480i playout.

XFX Board with MLE-Store and S4MDX-x43-SB
Dual Border Options
This option adds an XFX Extra Effects Processor Board to the MLE, and includes Multi-
Def MLE-Store and Dual Border options. The “x” in the ordering number refers to the
associated MLE. A total of 4 XFX Board with MLE-Store and Dual Border Options can be
ordered in a Synergy 4 MD-X.
The MLE-Store option adds four channels of Still Store. Still store channels can be paired
for video + key operation.
MLE-Store comes standard with 256MB of RAM storage, enough for at least 30 full screen
1080i images with key or 189 full screen 480i images with key. The number of images
stored increase considerably when smaller, non-full screen images like logos are stored.
Thousands of additional images can be loaded quickly from the system hard drive. When
the optional MediaCache is enabled, the playout capabilities and storage capacity of the
MLE-Store is increased considerably. All images stored in this memory are available
simultaneously to all MLE-Store outputs in the MLE.
MLE-Store has a production advantage over the Global-Store because stills are
automatically recalled with MLE memory recalls. The Global-Store feeds sources switcher-
wide and are therefore not part of memory recalls.
MLE-Stores are accessed as Program, Preset, and Key Bus source buttons on the Synergy
control panel.
A Synergy 4 MD-X can have up to 19 still stores running simultaneously when the 3
Channel Global-Store and all MLE-Stores are installed.
The Dual Border option provides border, shadow, and outline effects to both keyers in an
MLE with either hard or “glowing” edges. You can then move the border to any position
on the screen - even above the key. Borders are “flown” in real time with the joystick in
