Cue Playback 321
A 50% decrease rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 10 seconds.
A 200% increase rate applied to a 5 second event will play the cue in 2.5 seconds.
The top rate adjustment is 2000%. All timing values associated with a cue (including any follow or
hang times) are affected by the rate modification proportionally.
If a cue is complete, any rate adjustment applied affects the cue in the pending file. When that cue is
subsequently activated, the adjusted rate is used to direct timing. Pressing [Rate] again will turn rate
control off and reset to 100%.
Using Manual Control
There are four types of manual control for playbacks:
Cues can be stored with manual timing. When cues have stored manual timing, the default
behavior of the fader is to control those manual values.
Cues can be captured for manual intensity control only. This is possible only when the asso-
ciated cue has no manual timing values.
Cues can be manually overridden using the [Man Override] & [Load] feature which captures all
parameter transitions. On Element 2, you will need to press [Live] {FaderControl}to see {Man
Override}.
The fader can be set to manual master mode. See Master (on page282)for more information.
In each of these cases, follow time counts down from [Go]. The hang time will be kicked off when
the fader reaches full or when the last parameter reaches its end state from timing, whichever comes
last.
Note: The Fader Ribbon and the Fader Display Format of the Playback Status Display are
useful displays when using manual control. On Element 2, since playbacks cannot be
assigned to faders, these displays are not available.
Manual Timing Control
Manual timing can be set for any parameter or group of parameters. A fader is then used to control
the progress of a transition.
For Example:
Assume the active cue contains an instruction to set red at 40 for channel 1.
The pending cue contains an instruction to set color for channel 1 to blue and the color para-
meter has a manual time. Press [Go] to activate the cue.
Channel 1 color does nothing.
As you move the fader up manually, channel 1 color moves proportionally from red to blue.
Any parameters with timing will start their moves at the press of [Go] and be unaffected by
the manual control.
