Mvs 8000 Video Process Macro

I'm pretty new to the SONY MVS 8000.

I am trying to build a macro to turn on video process on BKG A on the program/preset bus, which would allow me to manually shade any source live on the air. Basically I want to call up menu 1472, but as far as I know the menu macros will not call up menu pages. Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks,
Greg

Actually, macros will call up menus. But you have to have version 7.11 to make this work. the bad news is that anything above v5.4x requires a MVS-8000A or MVS-8000G. Anything higher will not work on an MVS-8000. If you happen to be at 7.11, then menu macros have their own tab under MACROS on the top menu buttons. Just press that, select the register, and hit EDIT. Anything you do in a menu will be recorded. Menu macros can't figure out knobs, so get the knob value where you want then press the knob button and re-enter the same value and that will register in the menu macro. when you're finished, just go back to the menu macro page (there's a shortcut on the upper-right of the touchscreen while you're recording to get there) and press STORE. To playback, either select the register from the menu and press RECALL & RUN (yuck!) or you can insert a menu macro into a panel macro. Just off-line edit your panel macro and insert a new event... scroll down the list and you'll see MENU MACRO RUN. Follow the rest and you'll soon be menu macro'ing all over the place :-) RE

Here's an idea that will kill 2 birds with one stone. You can assign a utility shotbox button to do that or a key2/4 shotbox button to do that. Go to page 7324.1 and under action, hit "Menu Shortcut". The utility shotbox will now start flashing. Go to the vid proc menu and hit the flashing button on the utility shotbox where you want to store the shortcut to this menu page. Go back to 7324.1 and turn "menu shortcut" off otherwise the utility shotbox will continue to flash. Then I would record a menu macro that turns "video process" on. Then I would record a regular macro that hit the menu shortcut you stored in your utility shotbox and ran the menu macro to turn vid proc on. Now every time you hit this macro, vid proc will turn on and the menu will jump to that page. You could also do something similar to turn vid proc off. Hope that helps! -Allan
