About Advanced Manual Control
This section describes some advanced features for manual control functions. These features can
save you valuable programming time.

Using [Copy To]
[Copy To] allows you to copy all data from one channel to another, either within the current
working mode or to a different record target. [Copy To] works much like [Recall From], but in
the opposite direction, [Copy To] forces data to a channel from the selected channel, whereas
[Recall From] pulls it from a channel to the selected channel. For information on using [Recall
From], see
Using [Recall From] (on the facing page)
By using the IFCB category buttons in the MLControls display or the parameter buttons in the
CIA, you may copy subsets of channel data. Entire cues and cue ranges can be copied to other
locations. To only copy over intensity and parameter levels, use the {Only Levels} softkey. This
will exclude discrete timing information.
To copy over data from only active channels, use the {Only Active} softkey.
When referenced data is copied, if the copy target also has data in the reference that is being
copied, the target will be placed in that reference (such as, color palette 1), at its stored values.
If the copy target is not included in the reference, absolute data will be copied to the target, and
not the reference.
Below are some examples of copy commands from record targets. This command is very
versatile and the following list is far from exhaustive:
[2] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all information for channel 2 to cue 5.
[2] [-] {Focus} [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all parameter data for channel 2, other
than focus, to cue 5.
[Group] [3] [Copy To] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - copies current information for group 3 to preset
6.
[3] [Copy to] [6] [Cue] [8] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channel 6 in cue 8.
[3] [Copy to] [4] [Thru] [9] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channels 4 through
9.
[3] [Copy to] [8] [Cue] [2] [/] [1] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3
to channel 8 in cue 2/1 and takes exception to the track/ cue only settings in regard to
subsequent cues in cue list 2.
[1] [Copy To] [2] [0] {Only Levels} [Enter] - copies only the intensity and parameter
information from channel 1 to channel 20.
[1] [Copy To] {DMX} [2] - copies the DMXvalue from channel 1 to channel 2.
[1] [Copy To] [2] {From Absolute} [Enter] - sets channel 2 to channel 1's absolute level.
[1] [Copy To] {Live} [Enter] - copies channel 1's level to the live output.
In Live, you can use [Sneak] with [Copy To] to fade in the change.
Example:
[1][2] [Copy To] [2] [Sneak] <Time> 7 [Enter]
Copies the recorded data from channel 12 to channel 2 and sneaks it in 7 seconds.
Using the {HTP} softkey with [Copy To] will cause any intensity levels to be ignored if they are
less than or equal to the copied value.
