Position Fade:  Sets a time for a moving light’s repositioning.  If no value is set, any 
repositioning will use the Fade time. 
Position Delay: Sets a delay time between pressing GO and starting the Position Fade. 
Color Fade: Sets a time for the color transition in a light.  If no value is set, any color 
fade will use the Fade time.  
Color Delay:  Sets a delay time between pressing GO and starting the Color Fade.   
Shape Fade: Sets a time for the shape transition, such as changing between gobos.  If 
no value is set, any shape transition will use the Fade time. 
Shape Delay: Sets a delay time between pressing GO and starting the Shape Fade. 
 
Follow: Used to program auto-follow cues.   

Wait For Go:  Default behavior.  When a cue’s fade time is complete, the 
console requires an outside trigger (typically the operator to press GO) to 
advance to the next cue. 
Follow After Fade:  When a cue’s fade time is complete, the playlist immediately 
advances to and begins to run the next cue. 
Follow In Time: The console begins the next cue after the Follow Time has 
elapsed. The Follow Time starts counting when the cue begins. 
Follow Immediately: The console begins the current cue and next cue at the 
same time. Equivalent to a Follow In Time of 0s (zero seconds). 

 
Follow Time:  Sets the time used by the Follow In Time option above. 
 
Link:  Links the completed cue to another cue that does not immediately come after it in 
the Playlist. If a Follow option is not also used, the operator may still have to press Go. 
Links and Follows allow for the creation of loops that will play indefinitely. Press the 
playlist’s Go button to exit the loop and advance to the next cue in the playlist. 
 
Once the timings are set, touch the Done icon to finish, or the Cancel icon to start again. 
 
Library 
 
Library allows you to capture certain attributes and easily reuse them in different Cues or 
Memories. 
 
Color:  Capture a light’s current color.  Touch the Color icon on the tool bar.  Select the 
record location.  Name the color library, if desired.  Touch the Done icon to record, or the 
Cancel icon to start again.  The saved color may only be applied to the same light(s) in 
use when the library was recorded. 
 
Position:  Capture the position of a light or group of lights, for example – down stage 
center.  Certain shape attributes, such as zoom, edge and shutter, are also captured in 
the position library, if those attributes are not already recorded.  Touch the Position icon 
on the tool bar. Select the record location.  Name the position, if desired.  Touch the 
Done icon to record, or the Cancel icon to start again.  The saved position may only be 
applied to the same light(s) in use when the library was recorded. 
 
Shape: Capture the shape of a light or group of lights, such as gobos, shutter cuts or 
lens zoom.  Touch the Shape icon on the tool bar. Select the record location.  Name the 
shape, if desired.  Touch the Done icon to record, or the Cancel icon to start again. The 
saved shape may only be applied to the same light(s) when the library was recorded.
