Update Using Cue Only/Track
The [Q Only/Track] key can be used as an applied exception to the cue only/track system setting.
Therefore if the system is set to Cue Only, the key behaves as a [Track] command. Alternatively, if
the system is set to Track, the key behaves as a [Q Only] button.
For a more detailed summary of Cue Only and Tracking modes, please see
page 14).
[Q Only/Track] can be used in conjunction with record or update functions. Following are some
examples of use:
Note:
hit of [Q Only/Track] - a single button on the keypad. The system setting determines the
actual context of the button. For clarity, only the contextual function of the button is used
in the examples.
With system set to Track
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will make the changes to
cue 5 only. The changes will not track forward through the list.
[-] [Color] [Record] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - as above, but changes to color para-
meters will not be included in the record and all data that was included will not track forward.
Color data in the cue remains unchanged.
[Update] <Cue> [5] [Q Only] [Enter] - updates cue 5 with only those manual parameters that
were receiving their instructions from that cue. The changes will not track forward in the list.
Note that if the data being updated were referenced, this action updates the referenced tar-
get as well.
[-] [5] [Record] <Cue> [7] [Q Only] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue, except the con-
tributions from channel 5. The changes will not track forward in the list.
With system set to Cue Only
[Record] <Cue> [5] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords cue 5. This will force the changes to track
forward in the list until the next move instruction or block.
[-] [5] [Color] [Record] <Cue> [7] [Track] [Enter] [Enter] - rerecords the specified cue, except
the color data from channel 5. The recorded changes will track forward in the list.
[Update] <Cue> [3] [Thru] [7] [Track] [Enter] - updates cues 3 through 7. Range updates are
subject to the normal rules of track/cue only in determining impact on subsequent cues.
