In Learn mode
SMPTE Learn mode allows you to record macro keys, submaster bump
buttons and fader [Go] keys into SMPTE events as you press them. Learn
mode allows you to record a SMPTE program live without concerning
yourself with SMPTE time.
Warning: If you use Learn to assign a cue to fader in which a cue already
exists, the previously recorded cue will be overwritten by the new cue.
Follow these steps to record a SMPTE event in Learn mode:
Note: You may also enter events using Learn mode in the SMPTE Events
display. From this display, while in Learn mode, press [Record] to enter a
blank event.
