Wil,

Regarding CIA collapse, I believe this happens if the "default" state of the CIA is anything but the browser, but especially if you're in About or have activated an Undo or Update from the client.  The solution I've found is to hit [Browser] ([F7]), and special CIA displays will auto-collapse.

I second the request to see macro keystrokes.

To display discreet timing, hold down [Time] ([I]).  As of 1.7, this shouldn't post to the command line.  On this topic, though, I would love some way to lock out the command line on an RVI or client so sustained presses of time or label don't accidently post.  Ideally, it would also lock out tab switches that change from live to blind, e.g. live to groups.  Something like caps lock would be great, so the client can quickly go from programming session/LD mode to notes/ME mode.

Regardless of what cue list is currently being displayed by the PSD, the information for the Master fader doesn't change.  It is always going to be displayed in the section of the PSD just below the cue list and above the F1-F10 displays.  When you are running cues on F1-F10, the follow time counts down in area of the display related to F1-F10.    

To load different cue lists to any of your faders, put the cue that you want to start with on the command line (Cue 2/1 Enter) and press the load button for the desired location.  You'll know see that cue show up in pending and the next press of go will run it.

Does that help?

Sadly this does not help me, with my issue.  At this point the show has moved on and I am back to simpler times, but it still remains I need to be able to see the follow times on ANY of my faders beside the master fader.  I am on an ION not an EOS so I do not have a F1-F10 display  unless its buried somewhere and I can view those as virtual playbacks somewhere. (That would totally help me out).  IS this a possibility?  The other answer would be to show information about active cues IN the cue list we are viewing on the ion.  Itd be really cool if I could  hit 6/ ENTER and see what is actively happening even if I have it mapped to sub 37.  As it stands right now you CAN see that a cue is running, but the follow information isn't displayed, and this is where my frustration lays.   Maybe another option is to also show follow information in the LCD display on the submaster fader wing.    Anyhow, thanks for listening to me blather, I just feel like I am missing a tidbit of information on the ION that would totally solve a number of problems for me.

 

Regards,

Wil-

In version 1.4.5, if the board op used UNDO, they would have to press [clear] to clear the command line and collapse the CIA on the client node.  This was using a laptop as the client, so I don't know if that makes a difference or if the behavior has changed in ver. 1.7.

For the group display- the channel list is shown in order of channel entry.  This is because order of channel entry matters on the EOS.  To get the group display to show in order, you have to select the channels in order and record the group.

The hotkey for timing display is Ctrl-T.

Hope this helps-

Todd

You can set a [Time] key for your RVI in the EOS shell. Use the RVI button in settings.

Hope that helps
