About Mark
Mark is an instruction that automates the process of presetting automated fixtures to their
required state in a cue, prior to fading intensity up. This allows your automated fixtures to
unobtrusively perform non-intensity parameter transitions in an inactive (darkened) state.
Eos provides two different methods to mark lights:
•
AutoMark (below)
•
Referenced Marks (on the facing page)
AutoMark
The AutoMark feature is a system default setting and can be turned on or off at a global level.
The system default for this setting is off. To change the default settings see
Cue Settings (on
page 201)
When AutoMark is enabled, non-intensity parameter transitions will occur in the cue
immediately preceding the cue in which the changes are stored, if intensity in that cue is
moved from zero to any active level. Therefore, the preceding cue “executes” the AutoMark.
AutoMark information is displayed for cues or cue parts. It is not a channel instruction.
AutoMarked cues are indicated by an “M” in the M column of the playback status display.
AutoMarks will execute using the time of the cue in which the moves occur (the cue indicated
by “M”). The exceptions to this are the mark time in setup, or if discrete timing is stored with
the move instruction, in which case the discrete time will be used.
AutoMarks will display the same way in Live and in Blind.
Conditions Triggering an AutoMark
The following rules determine which channels AutoMark is applied to and how it is deployed:
•
The marked cue must have a move instruction for intensity of automated fixtures above
zero or null.
•
The marked cue must have a move instruction for non-intensity parameters of those
channels.
•
AutoMark will not occur if the channel is receiving an intensity instruction from another
source (such as a submaster or HTP fader).
•
AutoMark must be enabled for an AutoMark to occur. AutoMark is based on the current
setting of the default during playback. It does not matter what the setting is at the point
of record.
•
On a “per channel” basis, an AutoMark does not occur until:
•
Any parameter delay time has elapsed and
•
The intensity has reached zero and the parameter has completed any previous
movement.
Allowing a Live Move
When AutoMark is “On” it is possible to override it on a per cue (or cue part) basis. The
override will be available through a softkey, {AutoMark Off}. This softkey is not visible when
AutoMark is disabled in default settings.
AutoMark can be disabled on cues/cue parts.
When enabled, the cue that executes the mark will have an “M” in the flags field. If AutoMark
is disabled, allowing a live move, a “D” is displayed in the flags field of the cue or cue part
where the data is stored.
