Determining The Active Playback
The question mark
?
can be used to ask what the currently active playback is. A number will be returned,
from
1
to
32
indicating which playback is currently active.
Examples
Playback 1
Makes playback 1 active. All future playback related commands will be directed to playback 1.
Playback 2 At 75
Makes playback 2 active and sets the playback’s submaster to 75%.
Playback 3
Cue 1 Go
Makes playback 3 active, then executes cue 1 in playback 3.
Playback 4
set Playback.Mode "Override"
Makes playback 4 active, then sets the playback’s layer mode to “override”.
Playback 2>4 At 50
Makes playback 2 active and sets playback 2, 3, and 4’s submaster to 50%.
Playback 4>8 Disable
Makes playback 4 active and disables playbacks 4 through 8.
Many commands operate on the currently active playback fader, such as
Channel
,
Clear
,
Cue
,
Fade
,
Follow
,
Go
,
Group
,
Link
,
Stack
,
Start
and
Stop
. Since each playback fader maintains its own set of DMX
channels and properties, such as the current and next cue, fade and follow times, cue link, and more, it is
important to make sure that you use the
Playback
command to specify which playback you are targeting
when using the above commands.
*
Although CueServer can have a maximum of 32 playback faders, your configuration may have fewer,
depending on the combination of playbacks and DMX universes that you have chosen. If you select a
playback that is not available, the subsequent commands sent to that playback will have no effect.
