Using Mark

195

It is also possible to mark to a cue that doesn't exist, and when the mark is stored, Eos will
automatically create the cue to mark to.

For Example:

If cue 2 does not exist yet:

[select channels] [Mark] [2] [Enter]

The command line will display, “Create Mark Cue?”

[Enter]

When the cue is stored, the system will automatically create a cue 2 and mark the lights to it.

If a light is marked and that mark is later broken (for example being used by a move instruction
stored in the mark range), Eos will attempt to repair the mark. This is done by AutoMarking in the
cue previous to intensity fading up, if possible. This will be indicated in the cue list by a “*” in the cue
immediately proceeding the “R” cue.

Mark Earliest

The {Earliest} command can be used with [Mark] to mark the channel into the cue after the last
intensity moved from a nonzero level to 0. The mark is stored and behaves exactly as if you had
typed the cue number instead of {Earliest}. This works in blind, or in live if you record afterwards.

For Example:

Cue 2 moves the intensity for channel 1 to 0, Cue 3 thru 4 have no intensity for channel 1,

and Cue 5 has the intensity move to full. From Cue 5:

[1] [Mark] {Earliest} [Enter]

This will work the same as [1] [Mark] [Cue] [3] [Enter], and will mark from cue 3 to cue 5.

{Earliest M} will mark to the earliest cue that already has a mark flag. If a mark cue doesn't exist,
{Earliest M} will behave like {Earliest} and will mark to the earliest possible cue.

N o t e :

[Mark] {Earliest} will mark through block cues or blocked intensity moves of 0,

until it finds the earliest intensity move to 0. If the cue immediately before the cue

being marked is the earliest intensity move to 0, it will mark in that cue.
