Mark 271
This would mark cue 5 to perform any non-intensity moves stored in cue 8. The display
indicators for this mark would be the same as shown in the previous example. As long as
intensity is at zero within the cue range, if there are any non-intensity move instructions for
these channels between these two cues, they will be removed.
It is also possible to mark only certain parameters for marked moves, while allowing live moves
for other parameters.
Example:
If you wanted to mark only focus, and allow all other parameters to transition
while the light is fading up, you can press:
[1] [Thru] [10] [Focus] [Mark] [Enter]
Mark Earliest
The {Earliest} command can be used with [Mark] to mark the channel into the cue after the
last intensity moved from a nonzero level to 0. The mark is stored and behaves exactly as if you
had typed the cue number instead of {Earliest}. This works in blind, or in live if you record
afterwards.
Example:
Cue 2 moves the intensity for channel 1 to 0, Cue 3 thru 4 have no intensity
for channel 1, and Cue 5 has the intensity move to full. From Cue 5:
[1] [Mark] {Earliest} [Enter]
This will work the same as [1] [Mark] [Cue] [3] [Enter], and will mark from cue
3 to cue 5.
Note:
[Mark] {Earliest} will mark through block cues or blocked intensity moves of
0, until it finds the earliest intensity move to 0. If the cue immediately before the cue
being marked is the earliest intensity move to 0, it will mark in that cue.
{Earliest M} will mark to the earliest cue that already has a mark flag. If a mark cue doesn't
exist, {Earliest M} will behave like {Earliest} and will mark to the earliest possible cue.
Note:
{Emergency Mark} can be used to automatically set a mark flag if you had not
previously done so. If using {Earliest M} and no cue with a mark flag has already been
set, {Emergency Mark} will set a mark flag. See Record Defaults (on page213) for
more information.
Mark Symbols
The symbols that appear in the Mark flag column of the PlaybackStatus Display and the Cue
List Index include:
Live
MK - Indicates the channel is marked for a later cue. The cue number is indicated in the
other categories (see “Q” below).
Q - Found in the non-intensity categories of a marked channel. The “Q” is followed by a
number indicating which cue the mark is in preparation for.
M - Indicates a mark is placed, but manual, and must be stored. Is blue when stored.”m”
indicates cue is not marking.
