Event List - Action Macros
An Action is a kind of Macro that consists of a string of characters forming a line of commands. These
commands can be internal (Cobalt) or external (COM port serial communication with DVD player,
computers etc). Action Macros can be entered directly in the Sequence Action Macro column (see
Sequence List - Columns
). Action Macros can be linked to Triggers in the Event list.
In the Playback View
Action Macros are shown with the"*" character or the word "Action Macro"
depending on format.
See also Serial Com Data
and MIDI Data.
Action Macro Rules
The rules for all Action Macros are very strictly defined. There is no warning if your formatting is
wrong.
• An Action Macro starts with an action type (for example COM, MIDI, GO, RELAY). The
commando is followed by a list of parameters, separated by commas.
• Parameters in <> are optional.
• Multiple commands can be entered in the same Action Macro, separated by a semicolon ;
character.
Cobalt Action Macros
These are the available Cobalt Action Macros. Some have changed from over the years. Please note
that existing Action Macros using the changed commands will not be converted automatically. They
have to be manually updated to work as expected. To access Action Macros from the Direct Selects
tab see Action Macro List
.
