Single Cue Lists 315
Example:
Cue 5 is active and onstage. Channels 5 through 20 are currently referencing
preset 1. You make changes to channels 5 through 9. The data for these
changes is now manual. Press:
•
[Record Only] [Enter] [Enter]
If there were other changes on stage, you could have used:
•
[5] [Thru] [9] [Record Only] [Enter] [Enter]
Only the manual data will be recorded as an update to cue 5. The reference to
preset 1 for channels 5 through 9 is broken and now the cue will display the
absolute data rather than the reference indicator.
Update Using Cue Only/Track
The [Q Only/Track] key can be used as an applied exception to the cue only/track system
setting. Therefore if the system is set to Cue Only, the key behaves as a [Track] command.
Alternatively, if the system is set to Track, the key behaves as a [Q Only] button.
For a more detailed summary of Cue Only and Tracking modes, see Tracking vs. Cue Only (on
page 6) .
[Q Only/Track] can be used in conjunction with record or update functions. Following are
some examples of use:
Note:
In the following examples, the commands [Q Only] and [Track] indicate the
same key hit of [Q Only/Track] - a single button on the keypad. The system setting
determines the actual context of the button. For clarity, only the contextual function
of the button is used in the examples.
With system set to Track
•
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will make the
changes to cue 5 only. The changes will not track forward through the list.
•
[-] [Color] [Record] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - as above, but changes to color
parameters will not be included in the record and all data that was included will not
track forward. Color data in the cue remains unchanged.
•
[Update] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] - updates cue 5 with only those manual parameters
that were receiving their instructions from that cue. The changes will not track forward
in the list. Note that if the data being updated were referenced, this action updates the
referenced target as well.
•
[-] [5] [Record] <Cue> [7] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue, except
the contributions from channel 5. The changes will not track forward in the list.
With system set to Cue Only
•
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will force the changes
to track forward in the list until the next move instruction or block.
•
[-] [5] [Color] [Record] <Cue> [7] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue,
except the color data from channel 5. The recorded changes will track forward in the list.
•
[Update] <Cue> [3] [Thru] [7] [Track] [Enter] - updates cues 3 through 7. Range updates
are subject to the normal rules of track/cue only in determining impact on subsequent
cues.
