Adding Timecode Events

Using the Show Control Display

Events can be added directly from the show control display. A new event number must be specified for each event action.

Open the show control display.

• [Displays]><More SK>>{Show Control}

Select the event list.

• <Event> [1] [/] [Enter]

Specify a new event number.

• <Event> [1] [Enter]

Add the action that the event should execute.

• <Event> <1> [Cue] [1] [Enter]

Define the timecode position of the event.

• <Event> <1> [Time] [2][0][1][5] [Enter]

It is possible to enter multiple commands in the same command line. This can speed up your programming.

• <Event> [2] [Cue] [1.5] [Time] [2][4][1][3] [Enter]

Event timing can also be modified within a range. Let's say an additional 5 frames needs to be added to multiple events.

• <Event> [1] [Thru] [4] [Time] [+] [5] [Enter]

You will notice as events are added to the event list, the timecode will display on the Playback Status Display.

Using Live

Events can be added directly from Live using the same conventions used in the Show Control Display. The advantage to doing this from Live is there is no need to specify the event number, as the console automatically assigns the number.

From the Live display, select the cue to execute.

• [Cue] [3]

Now define the timecode location.

• [Cue] [3] {Timecode} [3][2][1][5] [Enter]

You will notice as events are added to the event list, the timecode will display on the Playback Status Display.

Using Learn

If you select an event list within the show control display, you can press the [Learn] hardkey to activate learn mode for that event list. When in learn mode, an event is created with the current list time whenever a cue is activated, a submaster bump is pressed, or a macro is run. Once in learn mode, the [Learn] key will remain lit to indicate that it is in learn mode. If the show control display is exited, the console remains in learn mode until deactivated.

Multiple timecode lists can be in learn mode simultaneously, each with their individual times. It is recommended that you associate the event list and cue list together, so events will be learned into the intended timecode list.

• [Cue] [1] [/] {Timecode} [1] [Enter]

To exit learn mode, the console must be in the show control display. Once there, select the event list then press [Learn] again. If [Learn] is pressed while viewing any other screen than the show control display an empty event will be placed on all event lists that are in learn mode.

• [Displays]<More SK>{Show Control} - opens the show control display
• <Event> [1] [/] - selects the event list to enable learning on

Press the [Learn] key. In the Status column it now says Learning, and the [Learn] button is illuminated.

A {Learn Events} softkey is available in the event list. This macro-able item allows you to enable and disable show control learn mode. Macros containing this softkey will not be included in learned events. Other Macros can be learned as events in an Event List. Use {SC Learn} softkey in the Macro Editor [Tab 18] to enable/ disable excluding specific Macros from being learned as events.
