Selective Storing Cues in Live

Cues can also be modified using selective storing, which allows you to specify only the channels and or parameters that you want to store. When using a selective store, you must specify the channel list to be included or excluded, identified by [Thru], [+], [-], as part of the [Record] or [Record Only] command.

Using Selective Store

You may use the [-] button to withhold information from a cue or use the [+] button to specify a particular channel/ parameter to be included in the record action. These actions are both selective stores using Partial Filters.

Since Eos consoles are tracking, any channels not included in the selective store, but that do have values in the previous cue will track into the recorded cue. This is true even when the console is in Cue Only mode. To remove intensity values that would otherwise track when on a selective store, the Remainder Dim command can be used.

Using a Positive Selective Store

You may record only specified parameters into cues. If the cue has already been stored, this action adds the specified channel parameters to the existing cue data.

To record only specific channels into a new target cue:

• [1] [Thru] [5] [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records only channels 1 through 5 into cue 4.
• [channel list] [Record] <Cue> [5] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - stores the selected channels into the target cue. Any channels active in the previous cue that are not in the selected channel list will be set to zero in cue 5.
• [2] [Thru] [8] [Record Only] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - stores only the manually set data for channels 2 through 8 into the target cue 9.
• [Group] [2] [Record Only] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - stores only the manual data from group 2 into cue 5.

To record only specific parameters into a target cue:

• [1] [Thru] [5] {Focus} {Color} [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records the focus and color data for channels 1 through 5 into cue 4. Any other data on stage would not be stored in the target cue.
• [selected channels] {Color} [Record Only] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - stores only the color data for the selected channels into cue 4.

Using a selective store for a new record target will track in values from the previous cue that are not included in the record action.

Using a selective store for an already existing cue will modify the selected data only, leaving the rest of the cue untouched. This does not overwrite the whole cue.

Using a Negative Selective Store

It is possible to withhold data from a cue by using the [-] key as follows:

• [-] [Group] [3] [Thru] <Group> [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue, with the exception of any channels associated with groups 3 through 6.
• [-] [3] [Thru] [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue, with the exception of channels 3 through 6.
• [-] [Sub] [7] [Record] [Enter] - records the selected cue, without the input from submaster 7.
• [-] [Sub] [Record] [Enter] - as above, except withholds the contents of all submasters.
• - {Color} [Record] <Cue> [8] [Enter] - records cue 8 without any color data.
