V-60HD: How to Capture, Import, and Use Still Images
The following information is from the V-60HD Owner's Manual.
If you would like more information on this topic, please contact support via Roland Backstage.
Firmware version 3.0 or later adds additional image formats to import and the ability to store the 2 images internally.
You can either capture or import up to 2 still images. These are accessible as inputs 7 and 8.
You can use them as a PGM, PVW, or DSK source.
When still images are stored internally, it will take a bit longer to boot the V-60HD when you power it on. You can delete still images in the menu.
While capturing or importing a still image, all video pauses on the V-60HD until it's completed.
This guide covers both capturing a still image from a video input source, and importing a still image via a USB flash drive.
