322 Hog 4 Operations Manual
17.6 Latest Takes Precedence (LTP)
Because Hog consoles can simultaneously run ten cuelists on masters (and more if virtual
masters and playback wings are used) the question arises as to which master actually has
control over a particular fixture parameter. To decide which master takes precedence Hog 4
OS applies the following rules:
For intensity parameters: by default, intensity parameters are controlled on a Latest
Takes Precedence (LTP) basis, therefore the value of an intensity parameter that
appears in several cuelists will be output from the cuelist with the highest playback
priority; see Changing a Cuelist's Priority.
For position, colour and beam parameters: Hog 4 OS always deals with position,
colour and beam parameters on a Latest Takes Precedence (LTP) basis. If several
masters have programming for the same parameter then the value from the most
recently activated master will override the value from previously activated masters.
Parameters that are only programmed into a single master will remain at that value.
When you release the most recently activated master, control will be returned to the
previously activated master. Alternatively you can assert a previously activated
master's parameters so that they override the most recently activated master; see
Asserting One Cuelist Over the Others. You can prevent an (LTP) parameter from
being overridden by master actions or assertions by giving its cuelist a high playback
priority; see Changing a Cuelist's Priority.
Tip: The Programmer, or the current editor with blind mode off, will always have priority
over all masters and virtual masters.
17.6.1 Asserting One Cuelist Over the Others
When you have several cuelists active at the same time, control of fixture parameters
programmed into one cuelist may be taken by another cuelist that also has programming for
that fixture parameter. For example, if Cuelist 1 has programming for desk channels 1-3, and
Cuelist 2 has programming for desk channels 3-6, then running a cue in Cuelist 2 will override
the intensity parameter of desk channel 3.
You may want to return control of desk channel 3 to Cuelist 1 without having to run a cue in
Cuelist 1; this is known as asserting Cuelist 1. Asserting a cuelist forces all fixture
parameters to their programmed value in the cuelist.
To assert parameters on the cuelist attached to Master 3, for example, press and hold the
Cho ose key for Master 3, and press the Asse rt key.
