to cue 5. Channel 1 will be “auto-blocked” in cue 5. Even though it is now at the same value as the
previous cue, the original concept of a move instruction is maintained.
When the block instruction has been recorded, updated, or stored while in blind, any tracked values
the block was applied to will be displayed in white. Auto-blocks are displayed in white, with a white
underscore.
Channel level blocks are indicated in the cue list by a “b” and auto-blocks are indicated in the cue
list by a “b”, representing a partial block. To remove auto-blocks, see
Auto-Block Cleanup, page
127 .
Preheat
Preheat can be used to warm filaments in the cue immediately preceding an intensity upfade from
0. Preheat values can be assigned channels individually in patch.
Preheat is assigned on a cue (or cue part) basis using the {Preheat} softkey and, if assigned, any
channel in that cue with a preheat value assigned in patch will fade to that intensity in the cue
immediately preceding the cue with the preheat flag.
See “Attributes” on page 68. Cues with a
preheat flag will display an “P” in the preheat flag column (indicated by a “P” at the top of the
column).
When a channel is in a preheat state, a “Ph” is displayed in the intensity field of that channel. When
a preheat is executed, the preheat value is established using the upfade time of the associated cue.
It is possible to hold the [Data] key to see the actual preheat values.
Moves
There are two types of moves, live and dark. A live move is a NPs move in a channel with an
intensity that is zero in the previous cue, that moves above zero in the current cue. A dark move is
a NPs move in a channel that is at an intensity of zero in the previous and current cue.
In the PSD and Cue List Index, there is a MV column for displaying live and dark move flags. A live
move will be indicated with a “L” and a dark move is indicated with a “D”. A “+” is used to show that
both types of moves are in that cue.
Using the Execute List
The execute list can be used to trigger macros and relays.
When you click {Execute}, a dialog box appears. This provides a list of the available triggers.
To trigger a macro:
• [Cue] [1] {Execute} [Macro] [5] [Enter] - triggers macro 5.
To trigger a relay either on or off:
• [Cue][5] {Execute} {Relay}[1] [/] [1] {On} [Enter] - triggers relay 1/1 on (ACN Group ID /
Relay Number).
Removing a trigger:
To remove a trigger, access the cue number and click {Execute}, the record target type and press
[Enter].
• [Cue] [5] {Execute} [Macro] [Enter]
