Using [Copy To]
[Copy To] allows you to copy all data from one channel to another, either within the current
working mode or to a different record target. [Copy To] works much like [Recall From], but in
the opposite direction, [Copy To] forces data to a channel from the selected channel, whereas
[Recall From] pulls it from a channel to the selected channel. For information on using [Recall
From], see
Using [Recall From] (on the facing page)
By using the IFCB category buttons or parameter buttons, you may copy subsets of channel
data. Entire cues, cue ranges and cue lists can be copied to other locations. To only copy over
intensity and parameter levels, use the {Only Levels} softkey. This will exclude discrete timing
information.
To copy over data from only active channels, use the {Only Active} softkey.
When referenced data is copied, if the copy target also has data in the reference that is being
copied, the target will be placed in that reference (such as, color palette 1), at its stored
values. If the copy target is not included in the reference, absolute data will be copied to the
target, and not the reference.
Below are some examples of copy commands from record targets. This command is very
versatile and the following list is far from exhaustive:
•
[2] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all information for channel 2 to cue 5.
•
[2] [-] {Focus} [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all parameter data for channel 2, other
than focus, to cue 5.
•
[Group] [3] [Copy To] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - copies current information for group 3 to
preset 6.
•
[3] [Copy to] [6] [Cue] [8] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channel 6 in cue 8.
•
[3] [Copy to] [4] [Thru] [9] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channels 4
through 9.
•
[3] [Copy to] [8] [Cue] [2] [/] [1] [Q Only / Track] [Enter] - copies the data from channel
3 to channel 8 in cue 2/1 and takes exception to the track/ cue only settings in regard to
subsequent cues in cue list 2.
•
[Cue] [2] [/] [Copy to] [Cue] [7] [/] [Enter] - copies all of the contents of cue list 2 to cue
list 7.
•
[Cue] [1] [/] [1] [Thru] [1] [0] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [/] [5] [Enter] - copies cues 1 through
10 from cue list 1 to cue list 5, starting with cue 5.
•
[1] [Copy To] [2] [0] {Only Levels} [Enter] - copies only the intensity and parameter
information from channel 1 to channel 20.
•
[1] [Copy To] {DMX} [2] - copies the DMX value from channel 1 to channel 2.
•
[1] [Copy To] [2] {From Absolute} [Enter] - sets channel 2 to channel 1's absolute level.
•
[1] [Copy To] {Live} [Enter] - copies channel 1's level to the live output.
In Live, you can use [Sneak] with [Copy To] to fade in the change.
