3.5 Saving Your Work & Recalling a Memory
Some saving is done automatically, but there are big advantages to saving your work manually. There
is more information about memories starting on page 78.
How automatic save works
Whatever changes you make with the remote con-
trol or RS232 commands, these changes are saved
automatically. If you change sources (switch to
another input connector) and come back to this
source, everything you did before will be “recalled.”
Things will look like they did before.
Suppose you make adjustments to an SVGA
source on Analog 1, then you feed a UXGA source to
Analog 1 and make new adjustments. Then you
switch to the S-Video 1 connector and do some more
setup for it.
Later you switch to the Analog 1 input again, and
this time it has the SVGA source from before. The
Margay will recognize that it has seen this source
before, or at least a source with these characteristics,
and will recall the SVGA settings you established
before.
This kind of recall includes Input Levels, Position,
and Frequency, but it does not include Wall Mode and
any Big Picture adjustments you made. Those need to
be recalled from memory slots.
Manually saving to memory slots
Margay has 40 numbered memory slots, and this
is the best way to save. Recall is fastest from memory
slots.
First, set up the Margay the way you want it,
including all the adjustments listed in this section.
Then press the
SAVE button twice. This opens the
Save grid.
Navigate to an unchecked slot number, or to a
checked slot if you want to overwrite what’s already
saved. Press
ENTER.
This menu shows all the data that will be saved.
You can’t change anything but the name in this
menu. To save immediately, press
ENTER. The appear-
ance of this menu is somewhat different for digital
and video sources, reflecting what is saved for them.
To change the name of the memory slot
The default name is an abbreviated description of
the contents. In this case, the name tells you that the
source is connected to Analog 1, which is an XGA
picture. This cube is part of a 2x2 wall, and it’s the
cube lower left corner (column 1, row 2).
If your customer wants or needs a more descriptive
name, select the Name line and press
ENTER.
Use the left-right arrow keys to navigate along the
line. Use the up-down keys to change the character at
that point. Press
PREV when finished. Then select
Save Now and press
ENTER again.
If you have RS232 control, there are commands to
send a string name to a memory slot, saving time.
How to recall a memory slot
1. Press
SAVE once to open the Recall grid.
2. Navigate to the slot you want to recall. You can
only land on slot numbers that are not empty
(have checks). Press
ENTER to open the Recall
detail menu. If this slot number has exactly the
same settings are currently being used, a (Cur-
rent) message appears on the top line.
3. The only line you can select is Recall Now. Press
ENTER.
The best practice is to recall settings from memory
slots. It is faster.
