Delay Time

Delay can be useful when you do not want a parameter to change (for example - intensity down) until other changes have begun or completed their transition.

Delay times can be added to any cue or to any specific parameter category within the cue, which will postpone the parameter transition until the delay time has elapsed.

Following are some examples of recording with a delay:

• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Delay] [5] [Enter] - stores cue 2 with a 5 second delay on intensity.
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [9] [Delay] [3] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a 9 second fade for all parameter categories, delayed from Go by 3 seconds.
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [7] [Delay] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a 7 second fade, and removes delay time.
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Delay] [/] [5] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a 5 second delay on the downfade.

Delay can be used to affect only the parameters in the specified category.

• [Record] <Cue> [2] {Color} [Delay] [8] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a delay time of 8 seconds for the color category.
• [Record] <Cue> [2] [Time] [Time] [Time] [Delay] [7] [Enter] - records cue 2 with a cue level focus delay time of 7. In this example, each press of the [Time] key steps through each timing value (up time, down time, focus time, color time and beam time.
