Snapshot/real-time recording dialog
Filters and options
Record Selected Fixtures Only - record values for fixtures that are selected - if not checked, all values
(all DMX control channels) for all fixtures are recorded.
Record values different from default values only - only record DMX output value (DMX control
channels), if the value is different from the default DMX output value.
Record channels patched from DMX in only - only record values for channels that has DMX-in as
source (see Global Patch).
Record as Snap - Set fade state for recorded values to Snap.
Record as Fade - Set fade state for recorded values to Fade.
The filters and options applies both to static snapshots and real time recording (see below).
Static snapshots
Click the Static Snapshot button to capture the current DMX output to the current scene. Values
already programmed into the scene will be overwritten unless they are filtered out by the filter options.
Clear Current Scene - click to clear the contents in the current scene. The clear function is filtered the
same way as snapshot, except for the default value on function (which is ignored)
Auto add scene - automatically adds a new scene to sequence after taking the snapshot.
Hint:
To take several snapshots from a static scene containing pan/tilt positions and pan/tilt macros, first
save the 'source' scene as a sequence (source sequence). Next, execute the sequence in the
background cue control. Since the output from the background cue has higher priority than the active
sequence, the pan/tilt macro values from the source sequence will not be merged with the new pan/tilt
positions from the snapshot contained in the current scene. Recording multiple snapshots from a pan/
tilt macro may be a quick way of generating a sequence with pseudo random pan/tilt positions,
especially if the sequence is used in random trig mode in the cue.
Real-time recording
The real-time recording options first captures and records individual scenes from the output in real
time and then combines the captured scenes into one multi-scene sequence. The function is
especially useful to create sequences for downloads to the 2510 playback controller, or to create very
long fade times (60 sec+) by recording a dedicated sequence. Note that the snapshot/recording dialog
must remain open while sampling.
Sample rate - select the sample rate from the sample rate drop down box, the sample rate ranges in
discrete steps from 1 scene/second to 20 scenes/second.
Scenes (total) - the total number of scenes to be recorded - the maximum value is 999 and the
minimum value is 2. The total recording time, which is a combination between sample rate and total
