246 Hog 4 Operations Manual
13.2 Fade, Delay, and Path
You can assign fade time and delay times, as well as paths, to cues and scenes. Cues
recorded without assigning any time information will be given the default time; this can be
adjusted in the Default Timin g pane of the Use r Prefe ren ces window.
13.2.1 Fade Time
To record a cue with a fade time other than the default:
1. Create the desired look for the cue in the Programmer.
2. Fixture Enter : select all the fixtures currently in the Programmer.
3. Time 7 Enter : assign a fade time of 7 seconds.
4. Re cord Cue 1 Enter : record the cue on the currently chosen master.
To assign times greater than 1 minute, enter the number of minutes followed by the number of
seconds:
Time 1 4 0 Enter : select a fade time of 1 minute 40 seconds.
To change the time of an already recorded cue:
1. Cu elist 1 : select the cuelist unless the desired cuelist or master is already the chosen
master.
2. Cu e 2 Time 7 En ter : assigns a fade time of 7 seconds.
Different Fade-in and Fade-out Times
You can assign different fade-in and fade-out times (known as a ‘split time’) using the / key.
For example:
1. Create the desired look for the cue in the Programmer.
2. Fixture Enter : select all the fixtures currently in the Programmer.
3. Time 7 / 1 0 En ter : select a fade-in time of 7 seconds, and a fade-out time of 10
seconds.
4. Re cord : record the cue on the currently selected master.
Important: Hog 4 OS's definition of fade-in and fade-out times is different to that used by
some other consoles. Some consoles use fade-in and fade-out times for intensity
parameters only and have a separate time for all other parameters; Hog 4 OS has fade-in
and fade-out times for each individual parameter. Also, with some consoles the fade-out
time applies when the cue goes out, so that cue 2's fade-out time takes effect during the
change from cue 2 to cue 3 rather than (as with Hog 4 OS) cue 1 to cue 2.
Fade Time with Masks
You can record fade times with a mask. For example:
Cue 1 Fixtur e 1 + 2 colour Time 4 Enter : sets the fade time for the colour
parameter values of Fixtures 1 and 2 in Cue 1.
Tip: If you want to assign individual times for several fixtures or fixture parameters, you can
edit them in the Cue Editor window by clicking on its Fade button; see Individual
Parameter Timings.
