IMING
The Maxxyz console allows for very flexible timing parameters. These can be set by the
individual or group of cues or by the individual or group of fixture attributes.
Trigger The three trigger types (Go, Wait, Follow) and any associated timings are
listed here. Information on triggers can be found in “Setting Cue Triggers”
on page 107.
Delay Any delay time is displayed here. For further information, see “Setting Cue
Timing” on page 101. Note that an “Override” column will be added to the
right of the Delay column if a Delay Override is recorded into the cue.
Fade The fade time of the cue is displayed here. For further information, see
“Setting Cue Timing” on page 101. Note that an “Override” column will be
added to the right of the Fade column if a Fade Override is recorded into the
cue.
Fade Mode: There are 3 modes available. Each of them deals with how the snap or fade
of attributes is processed. (See “Attribute Control” on page 56 for more
information on snap and fade.)
Default Fade All attributes in the cue will use snap or fade as
denoted in the programmer touch screen.
Snap All Channels When this option is selected, any fade attributes
recorded into the cue will be overridden and will
execute in a snap (zero) count.
Fade All Channels When this option is selected, any attributes set as
snap attributes will be overridden and will fade
according to the cue or attribute timing.
Comment This column allows you to insert notes or comments about the cue. Up to 21
characters can be entered. The process to enter a comment is similar to
other labeling functions and is detailed below.
