Timing
Cue timing can be applied in a variety of ways. At a cue level, timing categories are provided for
intensity up, intensity down, focus, color and beam transitions. Each of these times can have an
associated delay. Timing can also be applied directly to a channel or a specific parameter. This is
called discrete timing.
Time can be entered in minutes and seconds (example 10:15) with valid fade times from zero to
99.59, or seconds and tenths of seconds (example 1.3), or 100ths of seconds (example 1.35) with
valid fade times from zero to 99.99. When no time is applied at a cue level, the defaults established
in System Setup are used.
For Example:
You want the time for cue 1 to be 10 minutes and 15 seconds.
•
[Cue] [1] [Time] [1][0][1][5] [Enter].
The command line will show the time as:
If you want the time for cue 1 to be in seconds and tenths of a second, like 1.3 seconds,
you will type using a decimal.
•
[Cue] [1] [Time] [1][.][3] [Enter]
The command line will show the time as:
Setting Cue Level Timing
Unless you specify otherwise, Eos assigns default fade times to any cue you record. Default timing
is designated in Setup. Cue level timing can be applied when a cue is recorded or can be added or
modified later.
Following are some examples of record commands with cue level timing:
• [Record] <Cue> [5] [Time] [9] [Enter] - puts a time of 9 seconds on all parameter timing
categories.
• [Record] <Cue> [6] [Time] [3] [Time] [9] [Enter] -specifies the intensity up, focus, color, and
beam times at 3 seconds and the down time at 9 seconds. The first instance of [Time] is used
for intensity up fade (meaning intensity value is fading to a higher level than previously set)
and the second instance of [Time] is used for intensity down fade time (intensity values fading
to a lower level than previously set).
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [Enter] - resets time to default value. If the cue is recorded with
split time, this command only resets the upfade time.
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [Time] [Enter] - unsplits the time and makes it the same as up.
N o t e :
Unless FCB timing is specifically set, it always defaults to the up fade time value.
N o t e :
If a cue is provided split fade times with no delay on either side, and those times
are later the same values, the split time is cleared.
