About Mark
Mark is an instruction that automates the process of presetting moving lights to their required state
in a cue, prior to fading intensity up. This allows your moving lights to unobtrusively perform non-
intensity parameter transitions in an inactive (darkened) state.
Eos provides two different methods to mark lights:
AutoMark(below)
Referenced Marks (on thefacing page)
On Element 2, only AutoMark is available.
AutoMark
The AutoMark feature is a system default setting and can be turned on or off at a global level. The
system default for this setting is off. To change the default settings see CueSettings (on page153)
When AutoMark is enabled, non-intensity parameter transitions will occur in the cue immediately
preceding the cue in which the changes are stored, if intensity in that cue is moved from zero to any
active level. Therefore, the preceding cue “executes” the AutoMark.
AutoMark information is displayed for cues or cue parts. It is not a channel instruction. AutoMarked
cues are indicated by an “M” in the M column of the playback status display.
AutoMarks will execute using the time of the cue in which the moves occur (the cue indicated by
“M”). The exceptions to this are the mark time in setup, or if discrete timing is stored with the move
instruction, in which case the discrete time will be used.
AutoMarks will display the same way in Live and in Blind.
Conditions Triggering an AutoMark
The following rules determine which channels AutoMark is applied to and how it is deployed:
The marked cue must have a move instruction for intensity of moving lights above zero or
null.
The marked cue must have a move instruction for non-intensity parameters of those chan-
nels.
AutoMark will not occur if the channel is receiving an intensity instruction from another
source (such as a submaster or HTP fader).
AutoMark must be enabled for an AutoMark to occur. AutoMark is based on the current set-
ting of the default during playback. It does not matter what the setting is at the point of
record.
On a “per channel” basis, an AutoMark does not occur until:
Any parameter delay time has elapsed and
The intensity has reached zero and the parameter has completed any previous move-
ment.
Allowing a Live Move
When AutoMark is “On” it is possible to override it on a per cue (or cue part) basis. The override will
be available through a softkey, {AutoMarkOff}. This softkey is not visible when AutoMark is disabled
in default settings.
AutoMark can be disabled on cues/cue parts.
