Together, these les are treated as a single animation
named Anim that is 100 frames long.
Note: An animation must start with _001 as the end of the
name of the first frame.
Files names cannot contain symbols such as ! @ # & *
( ) / , ? ' " and cannot start with an underscore (_).
To Load a Still or Animation
Stills or animations can be loaded from the USB drive,
or from the internal cache. Only the default images that
came with your switcher are available on the internal
cache.
1.
If you are loading a le from USB, insert your USB
drive into the USB Port on the switcher. You must
wait 5 seconds for the switcher to recognise the USB
drive.
If the les on your USB are new, it takes about 2
seconds per le for the switcher to generate the
thumbnail for the MediaManager. Once all the
thumbnails are generated, they are displayed in the
MediaManager window.
2.
Press the source button for the Media-Store channel
that you want to load a still into. If the le has an
alpha, the paired channel will load the alpha as well.
3.
Press the Browse knob.

Use the left knob to navigate to the le you want to
load. Press the knob to make a selection.

Tip: If you want to associate an audio file with the still or
animation but the .wav does not appear in the name, ensure
that the audio file is named the same as the still or
animation and in the same folder.
A still or animation can be loaded using the Media
Number for the still and the pattern buttons.
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.
