Recording and Editing Cues from Blind

When you press [Blind], the selected cue will be displayed. You can make changes to cues in the blind display using either the summary, table, or spreadsheet views.

CAUTION: Edits in blind take effect immediately. [Record] or [Update] commands are not required in blind.

Note: To force blind to the selected cue, press [Blind] [Blind].

If changes are made in the blind display to an active cue, these changes will not impact the current stage state. To make blind changes active you can press [Assert] & {Load} button for the fader associated with the cue, or you can use [Go To Cue] [Enter].

Move instructions can be removed from a cue by selecting the channel and pressing [At] [Enter]. This allows all values from the previous cue to track into the current cue. You can also use this command for specific parameters as well.

For example, you are in blind cue 5 and make changes to channels 1 through 5:

  • [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> {Iris} [3] [5] [Enter] - sets Intensity to 50% and Iris to 35%.
  • {Iris} [At] [Enter] - removes the Iris instruction. The Iris value from the previous cue tracks in.
  • {Intensity} [At] [Enter] - removes the Intensity change. All values from the previous cue track in.
  • [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [Enter] - returns the channels to their values from the previous cue.

The impact of blind edits on subsequent cues is determined by the default setting of Track/ Cue Only mode. In track mode any changes will track forward until the next move instruction, unless [Q Only] is pressed. In cue only mode any changes will apply only to the selected cue. If you want values to track forward, the [Track] button will allow it. The track/cue only instruction must be applied when a value is entered. [Trace] can also be used to have changes trace back to the initial move instruction.

  • [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> [Q Only/Track] [Enter]
  • {Intensity} [At] [Q Only/Track] [Enter]
  • [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] <0> [Q Only/Track] [Trace] [Enter]

To Live From Blind

From blind, a softkey {Live} is posted when you press [Recall From] or [Copy To] to allow you to copy to or recall information from live. The following examples only work with the {Live} softkey, not the [Live] hard key.

  • [1] [Recall From] {Live} [Enter]
  • [2] [Copy To] {Live} [Enter]
