Recording and Editing Cues from Blind
Press [Blind] and the selected cue will be displayed. You can make changes to cues in the blind
display using either the summary, table, or spreadsheet views.
Note:
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.
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:
Suppose you are in blind cue 5 and you make changes to channels 1-5:
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] [Iris] [3] [5] [Enter]
Intensity goes to 50% and Iris to 35%. You decide to remove the Iris instruction:
• [Iris] [At] [Enter]
The Iris value from the previous cue tracks in. Then you remove the intensity change as
well:
• {Intensity} [At] [Enter]
All values from the previous cue track in.
Instead of using multiple commands, you can, in one command, return the channels to their
values from the previous cue:
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [Enter]
The impact of blind edits on subsequent cues is determined by the default setting of Track/Cue Only
mode. Obviously in track mode any changes will track forward until the next move instruction,
unless [Cue 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. Such as:
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter]
• {Intensity} [Cue Only/Track] [At] [Enter]
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [5] [Cue Only/Track] [Trace] [Enter]
To Live From Blind
Edits in blind take effect immediately. [Record] or [Update] commands are not
required in 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]
