An attribute’s delay time is the amount of time between when the cue starts, and when the
attribute begins its fade. The attribute delay time is set in much the same way as the attribute or
attribute group fade time. We will program a cue such that the odd numbered MAC 2k’s will move
2.5 seconds after the even MAC 2k’s by using the following procedure:
1 Select the desired cuelist.
2 Press the “2K Profile-2” group button to select the fixtures
3 Press the “ Pan/Tilt ” programmer controls LCD button.
4 Press the Delay LCD key in the Playback Command.
5 Press 2.5 Enter to set the pan and tilt delay to 2.5 seconds
We can now see that the Pan, Tilt, and Pan/Tilt Speed attributes of the odd MAC 2k’s all have a
delay time of 2.5 seconds.
To complete this process:
6 Press Record Cue xx Merge Enter.

The Maxxyz console makes it very quick and simple to fan the attributes of a group of fixtures.
Fanning can be defined as taking a delay time range (such as 0 to 11 seconds) and applying that
delay evenly across a group of fixtures. For example, if you did specify a delay of 0 to 11 seconds
and then applied that delay evenly across 12 fixtures, fixture one would begin its move as soon
as the cue began, fixture 2 would delay one second, fixture 3 would delay 2 seconds, etc.
To examine how this works, create a new cuelist using the Maxxyz Demo.scn file.
1 Select group “Mac 2k Profile” Full
2 Press Record and a blank Playback LCD to create cue 1 in a new cuelist.
3 Press the “Pan/Tilt” programmer controls LCD button.
