Page: 123 / 233

FLX and ZerOS Server, have two other trigger options.
Real Time
This option allows you to trigger the cue at a specific time in the day (a
“real time”). For example, at 8:00, or 19.30. (Ensure the time is set
correctly on the console by going to Setup -> Settings -> Date & Time).
When the trigger is changed to Real Time, the Settings button for the
cue in the Cues window will then display "REALx:x:x", where x is
hours:minutes:seconds.
MIDI
Consoles with a MIDI input socket, have the ability for any cue to be
triggered via the MIDI Timecode (MTC) protocol. This option allowsyou
to trigger the cue at a specific time during a MIDI Time Code(MTC)
signal. MTC signals are often generated by software running ona PC
or Mac, and connected to the console via a USB to MIDIinterface. The
format is Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames.
MTC auto senses between 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps, and can be
configured in Setup -> Triggers.
When the trigger is changed to MIDI, the Settings button for the cue in
the Cues window will then display "MIDIx:x:x:x", where x is
hours:minutes:seconds:frames.

On consoles with timecode, the timecode is displayed at the bottom of the Cues window in the status bar on an
external Cues desktop. To toggle between viewing the real time and incoming MIDI timecode, just tap the time
displayed in the status display.
Cue Macros
In the Cue Settings window, pressing the Macros... button gives you
the option to Trigger a playback, Release a playback, or run a Macro,
when the cue is executed.
