Using External Links

External links can be used to trigger actions such as macros, show control, or snapshots.

When you press {Execute}, the softkeys will change to {Time Code}, {Macro}, {Relay}, {On}, {Off}, {Snapshot},{Go After Loop}, {MIDI Raw}, and {String}.

Note: For information about using {Relay}, {Time Code}, and {MIDI Raw}, see the sections on Relay Outputs, Time Code, and Midi Raw.

To trigger a macro:

[Cue] [1] {Execute} [Macro] [5] [Enter] - triggers macro 5 when cue 1 is executed.

To trigger a snapshot:

[Cue] [3] {Execute} [Snapshot] [3] [Enter] - loads snapshot 3 when cue 3 is played back.

To trigger a relay either on or off:

[Cue][5] {Execute} {Relay}[1] [/] [1] {On} [Enter] - triggers relay 1/1 on (ACN Group ID / Relay Number)

Go After Loop

{Go After Loop} will execute the next cue after a follow link/loop sequence has ended. By default, the loop will end with the last cue in the sequence. {Go After Loop} will use the follow time assigned to the last cue in the sequence.

[Cue] [5] {Execute} {Go After Loop} [Enter] - assigns the {Go After Loop} command to cue 5. Go After Loop will display in the Ext Links Column of the Cue List index and the PSD.After Cue 5 has completed all loops, it will execute the next cue.
