The dot2 is a tracking console. If you don't know what this means please have a look at the What is tracking help
page.
Update a cue
You can always store your current active programmer content into any cue you want.
But if you have an active cue running, then you have the possibility to use the Update key. It's a faster work
flow. If you press Update Please , then you update the active cue on the main executor.
If you press Update followed by a key on one of the other executors, then you update the active cue on that
executor. If there isn't an active cue, then nothing happens.
Update will give you a windows asking how to update. There are two modes called Normal and Cue Only. Normal
will do a tracking update and Cue only will preserve the values in the following cue.
Updating the cue will do an Auto Unblock. This means that after an update all stored, but unchanged values are
removed. Please use the Protect function (read below) if you want to "block" a cue.
Naming a cue
Right after you store a cue there's the Label pop-up. If you press this, then you are taken to the Enter Name for
window.
If you need to label a cue after it's created, then you can use the Label key. E.g. you want to label cue number 2
in the main executor: Label Cue 2 Please .
You can also open a Cues view and press in the cue name you want to change. If you keep pressing it for around
2 seconds, then you also get the Enter Name for window.
Change the cue timing
There are many different timings in a cue. They can be seen in the Cue view.
The usual (In)Fade and Out Fade values set the times used respectively by the attributes going up in value and
the attributes going down in value. The factory default is that the Out Fade is set to the Fade (or InFade) time. So
no matter what you set the fade time to, then the OutFade will be the same. But you have the possibility to
separate them.
You can also set a delay for the OutFade. This is a time that the console will wait before beginning the OutFade.
All available Preset Types have their own timings for fade and delay. Setting this will overwrite the set cue timing
for the values changing in that Preset Type.
