Notes on using SoftKeys for Scene recall:
SoftKey Scene Recall
– Individual SoftKeys can be
assigned to recall specific Scenes. Recall is instant. No
confirmation popup appears even if the option is set.
To recall a sequence of Scenes using a single SoftKey you
could include the SoftKey in the Scene recall and assign it
to recall a different Scene within each Scene it recalls.
Alternatively, to prevent Scene recall overwriting your
SoftKey Scene Recall settings you could make these keys
Safe in the
Scene Safes
page.
SoftKey Next/Prev/Go Recall
– Assign SoftKeys as:
Go – Instantly recall the highlighted Scene
Next – Step to the next Scene in the list ready to recall
Prev – Step back to the previous Scene in the list
An
Auto-Increment option
can be set so that pressing Go
recalls the highlighted Scene and then steps to the next in
the list ready to recall when Go is pressed again.
To avoid the need to open the Scene
Manager screen refer
to the
Current/Next status bar
information when working
with the Go key. You can also set up a
Cue List
with the
sequence of Scenes you wish to recall.
