Example:
Suppose you are in blind cue 5 and you make changes to channels 1 through
5:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> {Iris} [3] [5] [Enter]
Intensity goes to 50% and Iris to 35%. You decide to remove the Iris
instruction:
•
{Iris} [At] [Enter]
The Iris value from the previous cue tracks in. Then you remove the intensity
change as well:
•
{Intensity} [At] [Enter]
All values from the previous cue track in.
Instead of using multiple commands, you can, in one command, return the
channels to their values from the previous cue:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [Enter]
The impact of blind edits on subsequent cues is determined by the default setting of Track/
Cue Only mode. In track mode any changes will track forward until the next move instruction,
unless [Q Only] is pressed. In cue only mode any changes will apply only to the selected cue. If
you want values to track forward, the [Track] button will allow it. The track/cue only
instruction must be applied when a value is entered. [Trace] can also be used to have changes
trace back to the initial move instruction. Such as:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> [Q Only/Track] [Enter]
•
{Intensity} [At] [Q Only/Track] [Enter]
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> [Q Only/Track] [Trace] [Enter]
To Live From Blind
From blind, a softkey {Live} is posted when you press [Recall From] or [Copy To] to allow you
to copy to or recall information from live. The following examples only work with the {Live}
softkey, not the [Live] hard key.
•
[1] [Recall From] {Live} [Enter]
•
[2] [Copy To] {Live} [Enter]
Editing From Summary or Table Views
Use the [Format] key to cycle through the available views.
Summary view allows you to see the greatest number of channels at once, though parameter
data is somewhat truncated. Channels with focus, color, or beam data are indicated with +
symbols beneath the level data. This view is useful for viewing lots of channel data at once or
for editing primarily intensity values.
Table view grants you greater visibility of parameter data and a reduced number of visible
channels. This view displays channels along the y axis and parameters along the x axis.
Parameter categories are always visible (I, F, C, and B).
You can also view specific parameters by pressing and holding the [Data] button and then
pressing the category softkey(s) for the parameters you wish to view. This will expand the
category to show any parameters used in the show. You can also deselect the parameters you
do not wish to see. This is remembered the next time you go to table view.
The table view is useful for viewing and editing all parameters for a smaller number of
channels.
