Targets may be deselected from the dialogue box, excluding them from the update without
specifying the target number, for example, [Update] [Color Palette] [Enter]. Selecting a line by
clicking or pressing it can also be used to deselect a target.
For Eos Family devices that do not have a [Snapshot] hardkey, there is a {Snapshot} softkey
that is available in the Update display.
Updating to References
When a cue is active, it is possible that various record targets (palettes or presets) will be
played back within that cue. As changes are made to the data in that cue, as well as to the
individual palettes or presets, updating both the cue and references within that cue is simple.
When you have overridden a reference in a cue, the data is displayed in red with a red “R” in
superscript next to the channel’s intensity.
By default, Eos updates any referenced data that was included in the cue.
Example:
Cue 5 is recalled Live. It contains references to color palette 1 and preset 2.
You make changes to channels included in these record targets. To update
both the cue and the palettes/presets, press:
•
[Update] [Enter]
This will automatically take the manual changes and update them to color
palette 1 and preset 2. Therefore cue 5 now references these new values, and
the modifications to CP1 and PR2 have propagated through all of the show
data.
If you had made changes to other channels that were not included in the
palettes/presets used in cue 5, those values would also be updated to the cue
as absolute data.
Updating Without References (Make Absolute)
If you want to record your changes to the cue without updating the references, you may use
{Make Absolute} to break the association to the reference. The {Make Absolute} command
can be applied to the channels/parameters required before the update instruction, or they can
be applied during the update.
•
[Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter] - this will break the references for any parameters
which have been changed and update the cue with the changes. The referenced target
will no longer be displayed in the channels which were made absolute. All of the data
updated in cue 5 will now be shown as absolute data.
•
[5] [Thru] [9] [Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter] - this will break only the references for
channels 5-9 and record their manual values to the cue. Other manual values will not be
included in this update.
You may also use [Record Only] to break references.
