<ENTER>
for 3 seconds, and repeat for every other light that needs
calibration, one at the time.

Programming and
Saving Hot-Cues
Hot-cues are used to quickly recall a Look made from one or more Product-Lights at the
time and allows taking immediate control when in running mode.
Hot cues will save the looks (every single DMX channel) of any and every one of the 6 Lights
that are turned ON at that moment, in other words lights for what the LED/Button
<On-Off/Active>
is ON or Blinking.
A Hot-Cue can be saved on a
<Chase-x>
buttons (x is from 1 to 9) but only if that Chase
doesn’t already contain a saved Hot
-Cue or a Chase, meaning the Chase
must
be empty.
To save a Hot-Cue on a
<Chase-x>
LED/Button Create the Look then save as follows:
1.
Toggle the LED/Button
<On-Off/Active>
for the Light to be controlled (1 through 6) so the LED is
ON
.
2.
Set the Light-Products (1 through 6) to their desired mode
<Pan-Tilt/Follow>
.
3.
Aim the lights to the desired spot or spots with the Joystick.
4.
With the Slide/Fathers apply any desired effects to the Look, for all of the lights accordingly.
5.
Then save the new Look on the fly by simply pushing and holding the
<Chase-x>
button for 3 seconds.
•
To check if a
<Chase-x>
button is free and ready for a Hot-Cue, push/release it and observe the LED; if the
<Chase-x>
button is free the
LED will quickly blink ON-OFF.
•
A Hot-Cue differs from a Chase in that the Chase runs in the Background and a Hot-Cue recalls a Look in Run mode that can be controlled
live.
•
Examples of Hot-Cue usage are saving a Spot-Lighting to the center of the floor, the entry door, a key spot on a stage, a spot for a table,
cake, candy-bar, picture, etc.
