Using [Go]
The [Go] button is used to execute the cue currently in the pending file of the associated
fader. When [Go] is pressed, all parameters assume their required positions in the recorded
times, unless they have been recorded with manual timing. When a cue has manual timing
values stored with it, the fader will set itself to zero when [Go] is pressed, or you may set the
fader to zero before you press [Go].
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on the same
playback fader, that parameter will continue its initial instruction in its remaining time unless it
receives a new move instruction in the incoming cue. If a new instruction is provided, the
parameter will calculate its new target and the time to get there for a seamless course
adjustment. If a parameter in transition has no new instruction in the incoming cue, it will
continue its fade, using the original timing provided.
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on a different
playback fader, and that parameter receives a move instruction, even if it is exactly the same
instruction the parameter currently has, it will recalculate the destination and arrival time
according to the information from the new cue.
For information on manual timing, see Manual Timing Control (on page368) and for manual
master, see Master (on page330)
Using [Stop/ Back]
All fader activity can be instantly stopped mid-transition by pressing the [Stop/Back] button
for the required fader. To resume the cue, press the [Go] button. To fade to the previous cue
on that fader, using default “back” timing, press the [Stop/Back] button again from this state.
When you have gone to the previous cue using the [Stop/Back] button, the cue should look
just like it did before you hit the [Go] button, if the cue still has ownership of all of its
channels. If a different cue list has taken ownership of some of the channel parameters within
that cue in the interim, those specific channel parameters will not respond to the [Stop/Back]
command.
If a cue is recorded or rerecorded when a fade is stopped, the contents of that fader will be
recorded as absolute data in the new record target. If a cue is updated with the fader in a
stopped state, all references in the cue will be updated accordingly.
When a cue on the playback fader is complete, pressing [Stop/Back] will step backwards
sequentially through the cue list from that point. [Stop/Back] uses default back time as
established in Setup, see Manual Control (on page214) . Or you can back into the previous cue
using specific timing with [Go to Cue] [Last] [Time] [n] [Enter].
Using Blackout and Grandmaster
Blackout is a console function allowing you to immediately set all lighting levels to zero.
A grandmaster is type of fader that inhibits all live intensity values. Any fader on an Eos Family
console or connected wing can be configured as a grandmaster. See Grandmaster
Configuration (on page132) for more information.
Note: Ion Classic and Element Classic have physical grandmasters.
