Library
Library allows you to capture certain attributes for reuse 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.
Group
Group allows you to record a specific selection of lights for quick recall during
programming. After selecting lights in the Fixture Grid, enter RECORD. Touch the
Group icon, then select a record location. Name the Group, if desired. Touch the Done
icon to record, or the Cancel icon to start again. The selection order is also stored with
the group, and is used when applying effects, and color fanning.
Record Update and Insert
Rarely is a cue perfect the first time it’s recorded. Cognito offers two ways of updating
cues and libraries using RECORD.
Once changes are made to an existing cue, touch Record>Cue, then select the same
cue location from the Playlist. The outline will turn red. Press the Record button, to the
right of the touch screen. Four options will be offered.
Update Existing Cue
Updates any attribute values that have changed from the previous cue.
Replace Existing Cue
Re-records the current console ‘look’ into the current cue position.
