ETC Element - Timing

222 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
Since Element is a tracking console, any channels not included in the selective store, but that do
have values in the previous cue will track into the recorded cue. This is true even when the desk
is in Cue Only mode. To remove intensity values that would otherwise track when on a selective
store, the rem dim command can be used. See Remainder Dim (on page168) .
Using a Positive Selective Store
You may record only specified parameters into cues. If the cue has already been stored, this
action adds the specified channel parameters to the existing cue data.
To record only specific channels into a new target cue:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records only channels 1 through 5 into cue 4.
•
[channel list] [Record] <Cue> [5] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - stores the selected channels into the
target cue. Any channels active in the previous cue that are not in the selected channel list
will be set to zero in cue 5.
•
[2] [Thru] [8] [Record Only] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - stores only the manually set data for
channels 2 through 8 into the target cue 9.
•
[Group] [2] [Record Only] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - stores only the manual data from group 2 into
cue 5.
To record only specific parameters into a target cue:
•
[1] [Thru] [5] {Focus} {Color} [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records the focus and color data
for channels 1 through 5 into cue 4. Any other data on stage would not be stored in the
target cue.
•
[selected channels] {Color} [Record Only] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - stores only the color data for
the selected channels into cue 4.
Using a selective store for a new record target will track in values from the previous cue that are
not included in the record action.
Using a selective store for an already existing cue will modify the selected data only, leaving the
rest of the cue untouched. This does not overwrite the whole cue.
Using a Negative Selective Store
It is possible to withhold data from a cue by using the [-] key as follows:
•
[-] [Group] [3] [Thru] <Group> [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue,
with the exception of any channels associated with groups 3 through 6.
•
[-] [3] [Thru] [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue, with the exception
of channels 3 through 6.
•
[-] [Sub] [7] [Record] [Enter] - records the selected cue, without the input from submaster
7.
•
[-] [Sub] [Record] [Enter] - as above, except withholds the contents of all submasters.
•
- {Color} [Record] <Cue> [8] [Enter] - records cue 8 without any color data.
Timing
Cue timing can be applied in a variety of ways. At a cue level, timing categories are provided for
intensity up, intensity down, focus, color and beam transitions. Each of these times can have an
associated delay. Timing can also be applied directly to a channel or a specific parameter. This
is called discrete timing.
Time can be entered in minutes and seconds (example 10:15) with valid fade times from zero to
99:59 ( 99 minutes and 59 seconds), or seconds and tenths of seconds (example 1.3), or 100ths
of seconds (example 1.35) with valid fade times from zero to 99.99. When no time is applied at
a cue level, the defaults established in Setup are used. See Cue Settings (on page133)
