ETC Ion Xe Operating Manual page 320

Using [Go]
The [Go] button is used to execute the cue currently in the pending file of the associated fader.
When [Go] is pressed, all parameters assume their required positions in the recorded times, unless
they have been recorded with manual timing. When a cue has manual timing values stored with it,
the fader will set itself to zero when [Go] is pressed, or you may set the fader to zero before you
press [Go].
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on the same playback
fader, that parameter will continue its initial instruction in its remaining time unless it receives a new
move instruction in the incoming cue. If a new instruction is provided, the parameter will calculate its
new target and the time to get there for a seamless course adjustment. If a parameter in transition
has no new instruction in the incoming cue, it will continue its fade, using the original timing
provided.
If a channel parameter is in a transition state when a new cue is activated on a different playback
fader, and that parameter receives a move instruction, even if it is exactly the same instruction the
parameter currently has, it will recalculate the destination and arrival time according to the inform-
ation from the new cue.
For information on manual timing, see Manual Timing Control (on page 321) and for manual master,
see Master (on page 282)
Using [Stop/ Back]
All fader activity can be instantly stopped mid-transition by pressing the [Stop/Back] button for the
required fader. To resume the cue, press the [Go] button. To fade to the previous cue on that fader,
using default "back" timing, press the [Stop/Back] button again from this state.
When you have gone to the previous cue using the [Stop/Back] button, the cue should look just like it
did before you hit the [Go] button, if the cue still has ownership of all of its channels. If a different
cue list has taken ownership of some of the channel parameters within that cue in the interim, those
specific channel parameters will not respond to the [Stop/Back] command.
If a cue is recorded or rerecorded when a fade is stopped, the contents of that fader will be recorded
as absolute data in the new record target. If a cue is updated with the fader in a stopped state, all ref-
erences in the cue will be updated accordingly.
When a cue on the playback fader is complete, pressing [Stop/Back] will step backwards sequentially
through the cue list from that point. [Stop/Back] uses default back time as established in Setup, see
Manual Control (on page 161). Or you can back into the previous cue using specific timing with [Go
to Cue] [Last] [Time] [n] [Enter].
Using Blackout and Grandmaster
A grandmaster inhibits all live intensity values. If a grandmaster is set at 50%, all live intensities will
be at 50% of their actual values.
On a physical fader that is configured to be a grandmaster, pressing the fader's [Go] & [Stop/Back]
buttons at the same time will act as a blackout and inhibit all intensities to 0%. Pressing [Go] &
[Stop/Back] again will exit blackout.
When a grandmaster or blackout are active, a grandmaster/ blackout warning will display at the top
of all monitors. Clicking that will open a dialogue in the CIA.
