Timing - ETC Ion Operation Manual

Using a Positive Selective Store
You may record only specified parameters into cues. If the cue has already been stored, this action
adds the specified channel parameters to the existing cue data.
To record only specific channels into a new target cue:
[1] [Thru] [5] [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records only channels 1 through 5 into cue 4.
[channel list] [Record] <Cue> [5] [Rem Dim] [Enter] - stores the selected channels into the tar-
get cue. Any channels active in the previous cue that are not in the selected channel list will be
set to zero in cue 5.
[2] [Thru] [8] [Record Only] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - stores only the manually set data for channels 2
through 8 into the target cue 9.
[Group] [2] [Record Only] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - stores only the manual data from group 2 into cue
5.
To record only specific parameters into a target cue:
[1] [Thru] [5] {Focus} {Color} [Record] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - records the focus and color data for
channels 1 through 5 into cue 4. Any other data on stage would not be stored in the target
cue.
[selected channels] {Color} [Record Only] <Cue> [4] [Enter] - stores only the color data for the
selected channels into cue 4.
Using a selective store for a new record target will track in values from the previous cue that are not
included in the record action.
Using a selective store for an already existing cue will modify the selected data only, leaving the rest
of the cue untouched. This does not overwrite the whole cue.
Using a Negative Selective Store
It is possible to withhold data from a cue by using the [-] key as follows:
[-] [Group] [3] [Thru] <Group> [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue, with
the exception of any channels associated with groups 3 through 6.
[-] [3] [Thru] [6] [Record] <Cue> [9] [Enter] - records the specified cue, with the exception of
channels 3 through 6.
[-] [Sub] [7] [Record] [Enter] - records the selected cue, without the input from submaster 7.
[-] [Sub] [Record] [Enter] - as above, except withholds the contents of all submasters.
- {Color} [Record] <Cue> [8] [Enter] - records cue 8 without any color data.

Timing

Cue timing can be applied in a variety of ways. At a cue level, timing categories are provided for
intensity up, intensity down, focus, color and beam transitions. Each of these times can have an asso-
ciated delay. Timing can also be applied directly to a channel or a specific parameter. This is called dis-
crete timing.
Time can be entered in minutes and seconds (example 10:15) with valid fade times from zero to
99:59 ( 99 minutes and 59 seconds), or seconds and tenths of seconds (example 1.3), or 100ths of
seconds (example 1.35) with valid fade times from zero to 99.99. When no time is applied at a cue
level, the defaults established in Setup are used. See
