Non-intensity Parameter Category Timing
Timing can be also applied for Focus, Color and Beam parameter categories at a cue level. By
default, FCB timing is the same as intensity upfade time. Once FCB timing is different than
intensity upfade time, those times are no longer affected by intensity upfade changes.
When you apply a time to an individual parameter category and that category has no
movement, the time is displayed in gray. The specified timing will remain in gray until that
category is provided with a move instruction, at which point it the timing will display in white.
[Record] <Cue> [2] {Color} [Time] [7] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a cue level color time of
7.
[Record] <Cue> [2] {Color} [Time] [Enter] - resets the color time of cue 2 back to the
default value.
[Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [Time] [Time] [7] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a cue level focus
time of 7. In this example, each press of the [Time] key steps through each timing value
(up time, down time, focus time, color time and beam time).
[Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [7] [Enter]- records cue 2 and puts a time of 7 on all parameter
categories. This only works if FCB timing was previously untouched. If FCBtiming had
been changed, this syntax example would change just the upfade time to 7.
Note: It is not necessary to rerecord a cue to alter stored timing data. You can simply
redefine the time by specifying the cue and re-entering the time value(s).
[Cue] [5] [Time] [8] [Enter] -redefines the all category times to 8 seconds. This
only works if FCB timing was previously untouched. If FCBtiming had been
changed, this syntax example would change just the upfade time to 8.
[Cue] [2] {Color} [Time] [5] [Enter] - redefines color time to 5 seconds.
[Cue] [3] {Focus} [Time] [-] [2] [Enter] - removes 2 seconds from the current time.
[Cue] [7] {Beam} [Time] [+] [3] [Enter] - adds 3 seconds to the current time.
[Time][/]
The [/] key can be used with [Time] to control the intensity upfade and downfade times, and
delays.
[Cue] [1] [Time] [/] [5] [Enter] - places a downfade time of 5 on the cue, while splitting the
upfade, which preserves its current value.
[Cue] [2] [Time] [/] [Enter] - removes the downfade time and makes the downfade match
the upfade.
[Cue] [3] [Time] [4] [/] [Enter] - sets the upfade time, and splits the downfade without
splitting the FCB times.
[Cue] [5] [Time] [4] [/][3] [Enter] - sets the upfade and the downfade times.
[Cue] [4] [Time] [2] [/] [/] [Enter] - changes only the intensity upfade time and splits the
downfade and FCB times preserving their current value.
Discrete Channel and Parameter Timing
Rather than using cue times, timing can be applied directly at a parameter or channel level. This
is referred to as discrete time.
Discrete timing can be applied to a specific channel or parameter. You must select the channels
that you want to apply the time to, otherwise the system assumes you are addressing the
selected cue.
Following are some examples of use:
