Actually, I just posted the same question in another thread... What do you use Keyer Snapshots for? Just some quick examples of how you use them. --- Dan

[quote="Rick Edwards"][quote="Bill D"][quote="Rick Edwards"] Bill, The buttons you're looking at on the menu page are just menu equivalents of the buttons on the panel near the Key Snapshot buttons. They are only meant as a manual override and are not designed to be stored as a setup or effect attribute. They are there so if you're about to recall something in a KSnapshot and remember it's going to change the transition type you can hit the TRANS override and it will leave that part of the KSnapshot alone during the recall. RE[/quote] Rick, Correct me if I am wrong, one TD turns off XPT button, 2 days later another TD loads all his stuff and would have no idea it is off and it would not recall crosspoints? I can understand on the panel, but now I have to go into menu's to find traps.. ugghh.. I caught it when I check my stuff so no harm, but that is a nice trap. I sense a menu macro to turn them on and attach it as part of my setup macro. thanks[/quote] The menu and panel buttons should be the same thing. Pressing one presses the other. RE[/quote] Hmm don't think so, will check again tomorrow. The panel was the first place I looked, and key 1,2,3's xpoint hold were not lit, I lit it and unlit to confirm it worked. Key snap shots did not start recalling crosspoint until I lit up that XPT button in the menu.

[quote="Bill D"][quote="Rick Edwards"][quote="Bill D"]So it seems that on a 8K, if you got to page 6351, key snap shot/attribute, there is a recall mode for each of the keyers on the switcher. It also seems that these settings do not load or save as part of your setup file? This seems like a weird place to put a global setting that could effect the way you can recall keyer snap shots. Am I missing something or is this correct? Issue I had was XPT was not highlighted, poked around enough trying to figure out why crosspoints were changing for some keyer snapshots, but not on other keyers.[/quote] Bill, The buttons you're looking at on the menu page are just menu equivalents of the buttons on the panel near the Key Snapshot buttons.
