overwrite is always enabled. To setup which DMX input channels should overwrite which DMX output
channels, use the Global Patch. Note that the override enable function only enables/disables direct
DMX value overrides set through the global patch - it does not affect overrides such as intensity
override.
Cue list commands
A number of cue list commands are available through DMX in. The commands are activated when the
level of the DMX in channel crosses over from below 128 (50%) to above 127 (50% - 100%).
Cuelist Go - Trigs the cue list Go command. If the cue list is not already active (running) a 'Run from
top' command is given to the cue list.
Cuelist Back - Trigs the cue list back command. The cue list must be active (running) for this
command to be work.
Cuelist Stop - Stops the current cue list executing.
Cuelist Stop and Clear - Stops the current cue list executing and clears the current cue.
Cuelist Go (Alt) - This version of cue list Go uses different value transitions to activate a go
command:
Transitions from less than 50% to 50% or above (0-127 -> 128-255)
Transitions from 50%-75% to 75%-100% (128-191 -> 192-255)
Transitions from 75% -> 100% to 50-75% (192-255 -> 128-919)
Where the regular cue list Go commands may require 2 discrete steps from the external console - the
alternate command allows the external console to embed each go command in a single static value
simply by alternating output values between 50%-75% and 75%-100%. Note: make sure that the
external console do not fade value transitions;fading the value from 0% to100 may cause 2 go
commands to be issued.
Smoke control override
Smoke Button, Smoke Level, Smoke Duration, Smoke Cycle, Haze Level and Haze fan may all be
used to override the corresponding controls on the Smoke control. The smoke button will be activated
as long as the DMX value of the channel is kept above a value of 127.
Overriding the Cue Macro Control
Assigning Cue Macro Amplitude and Cue Macro Sped functions to DMX in channels allows the
two functions to be remotely controlled via DMX in. Note that both functions scale from 0%-100.0% so
it is not possible to increase the amplitude more than the previously programmed amplitude, nor is it
possible to increase the speed above the programmed speed.
Each of the two functions have a complimentary inverted version. The inverted function inverts the
captured DMX value, so the higher the 'physical' DMX value, the less amplitude and speed - in effect
the macro slows down. The inverted functions makes the functions comparable to overriding the cue
time functions (see below) where a higher DMX in value slows the sequence down as well.
See Cue Macro Control for more details.
Overriding the Cue Time Control
The Cue Time control allows direct control with the cue's dynamic timings by scaling the scene and
fade times of each of the sequences in the cue. It is possible to assign control of the Cue time fader,
and each of the 12 sequence time faders to DMX in. Via the Cue Time Control preferences menu it is
possible to set up if the DMX in override should override always or only when changes occurs on the
DMX in values.
Audio Analyzer options override
Audio Analyzer, Gain - Overrides the gain setting on the audio analyzer.
Audio Analyzer, Noise Threshold - Overrides the noise threshold setting on the audio analyzer.
Trig all manual default, Emulate Audio Trig
Activates the corresponding hotkey functions - note that these functions will activate on a DMX value
transition from less than 128 (decimal) to 128 or higher.
