3.8. “Recall Filter” Treatment
“Recall Filter” (e.g. Recall Safe, Selective Recall/Focus) setup parameters themselves aren’t
converted. But this converter takes into account the Recall Filter functions when converting a
console file.
Where Recall Filters are used, it can make a difference in which order scenes are recalled.
The assumption made here is that the scenes are recalled in the numbered order. If this is not
your case, we strongly suggest that the scenes are re-ordered using the console or Studio
Manager before the conversion process.
Here is a description of the concept with a step by step example.
The rectangles below represent the data in a source file. The yellow rectangle on the left side
is the Current data.
Light blue, orange and light green rectangles are Scene 001, 002 and
003. Each Scene has a Focus setting shown below. The rectangle on the far right side is a
global Recall Safe setting. Focus and Recall Safe have a white part which is recalled and a
gray part which is not recalled.
1. Current data
The Current data is converted without any regard to Recall Filtering.
2. Scene 001
Light blue rectangle Scene 001 is recalled onto the Current data.
Scene 001 Focus is set to “ALL” shown by the white rectangle with “ALL”, but there is
a global Recall Safe setup shown by the gray smaller rectangle marked “Safe”. (Gray
area is safe). Scene 001 recall result becomes the light blue rectangle which
originates from Scene 001 with a yellow part which originates from the Current data.
The yellow part remains due to Recall Safe.
Then, this result is converted to the destination model (indicated by the red arrow),
based on the console compatibility policy.
3. Scene 002
Orange rectangle Scene 002 is recalled onto the result of previous Scene 001 recall.
Scene 002 has a Focus setup with a white “Focus” oval on a gray rectangle (White is
focused), and also there is a global Recall Safe setup. Scene 002 recall result is just
adding the chopped orange oval to the result of Scene 001 recall.
