Mark 267
Example:
Cue 5 is recorded with a time of 10 seconds.
•
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Time] [1] [0] [Enter]
A mark is applied to Cue 5 as above.
•
[Cue] [5] [Mark] [Enter]
Later, channels 1-10 are assigned a mark instruction and then recorded into
Cue 10 with no discrete timing:
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [0] [Mark] [Enter]
•
[Record] <Cue> [1] [0] [Enter]
When Cue 5 is executed, channels 1-10 will perform their non-intensity
parameter changes in 10 seconds, as specified in Cue 5 (the marked cue).
Marked cues that are played out of sequence will fade to their marks
immediately. When firing a cue that has a linked cue, the cue will mark like
the linked cue is the next cue.The marks will fade using the active cue’s
timing.
Mark Time
Mark time is a setup option (Setup > System > Cue Settings > Mark Time) which allows you to
set the time that mark instructions will use. When {Mark Time} is disabled, which is the
default, mark instructions will use cue timing unless overridden with discrete timing. When
you enter a mark time in setup, all NPs that mark (either through referenced marking or
AutoMark) will use this time. The only way to override setup mark time is to use discrete
timing. Clearing the {Mark Time} field sets it back to disabled. Select {Mark Time} and hit
[Enter] to disable the default mark time.
Removing Referenced Marks
Mark is a toggle state. Therefore, the first mark command sets a mark. The second removes it.
To remove a mark flag from a cue, press:
•
[Cue] [n] [Mark] [Enter]
To remove a mark from a channel:
•
[select channel] [Mark] [Enter]
Note:
If a mark is removed from a channel in live, the corresponding cue must be
updated.
It is also possible to mark to a cue that doesn't exist, and when the mark is stored, Eos will
automatically create the cue to mark to.
Example:
If cue 2 does not exist yet:
•
[select channels] [Mark][2] [Enter]
The command line will display, “Create Mark Cue?”
•
[Enter]
When the cue is stored, the system will automatically create a cue 2 and mark
the lights to it.
