Now, you shouldn't really need to worry about that, but it's nice to know some details.
Here's how it works.
In it's most basic form you could say that tracking is fixtures only doing something when they are told. If you set a
fixture to 50% in cue number one, then it stays at 50% through all your other cues - as long as you don't tell it to do
something in the other cues.
Have a look at this table:
Cue
number
Fixture 1
Dim
1 50
2
50
3
50
4
50
5
50
6
50
Here we can see that fixture 1 is only stored in cue 1 (marked with bold,
italic
is tracked values). But if you run cue 2
fixture number 1 is still at 50% - it is tracked.
If we store and merge 60% for fixture 1 in cue 3 it would look like this:
Cue
number
Fixture 1
Dim
1 50
2
50
3 60
4
60
5
60
6
60
So we changed the value for the fixture in cue 3 and now it’s tracking that value from cue 3.
A different option when we store is Cue Only. If we use that option and store fixture 1 at 40% in cue 5 you’ll see that
we didn’t make a change in cue 6. meaning it still looks the same as it did before we stored cue 5.
