Merge CHOP
Summary[edit]
The Merge CHOP takes multiple inputs and merges them into the output. All the channels of the input appear in the output. The channel order is the channels of the first input followed by the channels of the second input, and so on.
Channel names may conflict, but a channel is renamed according to the Duplicate Names menu. The CHOP appends or increments the digits of the channel name until an unused name is found.
When the Time Slice flag on the Common parameter page is on, the Merge CHOP will merge only the current Time Slice of a channel, not the entire length of all the channels.
Parameters - Merge Page
Align align
- ⊞ - This menu handles cases where multiple input CHOPs have different start or end times. All channels output from a CHOP share the same start/end interval, so the inputs must be treated with the Align Options:
Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem Template:Menuitem
Duplicate Names duplicate
- ⊞ - When channels of the input CHOPs have the same name, this menu determines what to do.
Parameters - Common Page
Time Slice timeslice
- Turning this on forces the channels to be "Time Sliced". A Time Slice is the time between the last cook frame and the current cook frame.
Scope scope
- To determine which channels get affected, some CHOPs use a Scope string on the Common page.
Sample Rate Match srselect
- ⊞ - Handle cases where multiple input CHOPs' sample rates are different. When Resampling occurs, the curves are interpolated according to the Interpolation Method Option, or "Linear" if the Interpolate Options are not available.
- Resample At First Input's Rate
first
- Use rate of first input to resample others.
- Resample At Maximum Rate
max
- Resample to the highest sample rate.
- Resample At Minimum Rate
min
- Resample to the lowest sample rate.
- Error If Rates Differ
err
- Doesn't accept conflicting sample rates.
Export Method exportmethod
- ⊞ - This will determine how to connect the CHOP channel to the parameter. Refer to the Export article for more information.
- DAT Table by Index
datindex
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the index of the channel in the CHOP.
- DAT Table by Name
datname
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the name of the channel in the CHOP.
- Channel Name is Path:Parameter
autoname
- The channel is the full destination of where to export to, such hasgeo1/transform1:tx
.
Export Root autoexportroot
- This path points to the root node where all of the paths that exporting by Channel Name is Path:Parameter are relative to.
Export Table exporttable
- The DAT used to hold the export information when using the DAT Table Export Methods (See above).
