ETC Ion - Theatre Uwinnipeg

Programming an Event List
Getting started with an event list is the same regardless for which Show Control protocol you are
using.
To program an event list in Ion, you first must open the show control display. Go to:
• [Browser]>{Record Target Lists}>{Show Control Display}
Create an event list by specifying it in the command line. This display follows the “Cue List/
Cue” structure in calling out Event Lists/Events.
• [1] [/] [Enter]
Specify what the list will respond to (MIDI, SMPTE, Analog, or RTC).
• [1] [/] {Type} {MIDI} [Enter]
Define the group or source.
• [1] [/] {Source} [8] [Enter]
Activate the internal and/or external timing functions (see Internal vs. External Time, page
278). These functions are toggle on/off states.
• [1] [/] {Internal} {External} [Enter]
When defining an event list it is feasible to enter multiple commands in the same command line.
This can speed your programming of an event list. For example:
• [2] [/] {Type} {MIDI} {Source} [5] [Enter]
Once the list is created, you will then need to create the specific events. Those steps will vary
depending on what protocol is being used.
