Reference Marks and Timing
Movement of non-intensity parameters in conjunction with a mark will adhere to the following timing
rules.
If discrete timing is used for non-intensity parameters:
When channels execute a mark, the moves will use the discrete time(s) assigned to them
in the source cue.
For Example:
A mark is applied to Cue 5, making it the marked cue.
•
[Cue] [5] [Mark] [Enter]
Later, channels 1-10 are assigned discrete timing and a mark instruction:
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [0] {Focus} [Time] [8] [Mark] [Enter]
Then, those channels are recorded into Cue 10:
•
[Record] <Cue> [1] [0] [Enter]
In this instance, when Cue 5 is executed, channels 1-10 will perform their focus parameter
moves in 8 seconds, as specified in Cue 10 (the source cue, which is the source of their
move instruction).
If no discrete timing is used for non-intensity parameters or mark time is disabled:
When channels execute a mark, the moves will use the time recorded in the marked cue.
For Example:
Cue 5 is recorded with a time of 10 seconds.
•
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Time] [1] [0] [Enter]
A mark is applied to Cue 5 as above.
•
[Cue] [5] [Mark] [Enter]
Later, channels 1-10 are assigned a mark instruction and then recorded into Cue 10 with
no discrete timing:
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [0] [Mark] [Enter]
•
[Record] <Cue> [1] [0] [Enter]
When Cue 5 is executed, channels 1-10 will perform their non-intensity parameter changes
in 10 seconds, as specified in Cue 5 (the marked cue).
Marked cues that are played out of sequence will fade to their marks immediately. When firing a cue
that has a linked cue, the cue will mark like the linked cue is the next cue.The marks will fade using
the active cue’s timing.
Mark Time
Mark time is a setup option (Setup> Show> Show Settings> Mark Time) which allows you to set
the time that mark instructions will use. When {Mark Time} is disabled, which is the default, mark
instructions will use cue timing unless overridden with discrete timing. When you enter a mark time
in setup, all NPs that mark (either through referenced marking or AutoMark) will use this time. The
only way to override setup mark time is to use discrete timing. Clearing the {Mark Time} field sets
it back to disabled. Select {Mark Time} and hit [Enter] to disable the default mark time.
