This allows you to see which fixtures will be affected even if they
aren't visible.
Move Handles From Compatability Mode: If you load a show
created on the version 2 software or on an Expert and wish to move
all the mixed content from the blue and grey preset handles to the
Fixtures, Groups, Playbacks, Colours, Positions and Gobos and Beams
windows you can do so easily using the 'Move to Workspace' function.
Open the compatability view and select the 'Fixtures and Playbacks'
window or the 'Palettes and Groups' window. From the context menu
select 'Move to Workspace' then 'Confirm' from the softkey menu.
This will move the handles from the compatability window you
selected. Repeat to move the content from the other compatability
window.
Go Back: There is a new key action for Cue Lists which runs the
previous cue in the the cue list. Setting the blue and grey keys to Go
and Go Back respectively allows you to easily step forward and back
through lists.
Select Attribibute Bank on Touch Screen: You can now select
attribute bank on the touch screen by touching the IPCGBES indicator
on the Tiger Touch and Expert Touch. Touching an attribute multiple
times cycles though the available pages.
Link and Link Offset: Link has been overhauled to make it easier to
understand and more powerful. For chases the options previously
called 'Link From Last Cue On/Off' are now called 'Link After Previous
Cue' and 'Link Wait For Go' respectively. The Cue Overlap function for
chases has been removed, you should use a linked cue list instead.
With Cue Lists there are now three options, 'Link Wait For Go', 'Link
After Previous Cue' and 'Link With Previous Cue'. A Link Offset has
been added. These work together as follows.
• 'Link Wait For Go' - The cue waits then fires imediately the Go
button is pressed. The Link Offset is disabled.
• 'Link After Previous Cue' - The cue follows on as soon as the
previous cue has finished its delay in and fade in time. A Link
Offset can be set to add a delay between the first cue
completing and this cue triggering. The offest can be specified
either as a time or a percentage of the fade time of the
previous cue.
• 'Link With Previous Cue' - The cue follows on as soon as the
previous cue is triggered. A Link Offset can be set to add a
delay between the previous cue starting and this cue starting.
The Link Offset can be set either as a time in seconds or as a
percentage of the fade time of the previous cue.
These options allow you to create complex self timed sequences by
building up simple steps. For example if you wanted the following
effect
Go is pressed, Fixture one starts fading up over 20s
After 10s Fixture two fades up over 15s
Both lights stay on for 5s
Both lights go off in 3s
You could program
• Cue 1 - Fixture 1 @ 100%, Fade In 20s, Link Wait For Go
