8.1.4

Running a chase or memory with a cue (Autoload)

If you want to run a chase as part of a cue, or automatically turn on an
existing memory, you can assign an Autoload to the step.
Autoloads can either turn on or turn off a playback. A Fade Up autoload
will turn on a playback, a Fade Down autoload will turn it off.
1> Press A [Advanced].
2> Press B [Assign a fade up autoload] or C [Assign a fade down
autoload]
3> Press the Swop button of the playback to be turned on (or off).
The playback will turn on when the cue runs and will remain turned on
until a Fade Down autoload turns it off.
• Each cue can have only one autoload, either a fade up or a fade
down.
• The memory to load can be from any page, but it will be loaded
into the same playback number that it is saved in. If this playback
is active on the current page, it will be turned off and replaced by
the autoload memory.
• Autoloads are shown on the right hand side of the VDU screen. A
fade up autoload has an up arrow, a fade down autoload has a
down arrow.
• You can set a fade time for the autoload using D [Set autoload
fade time]. Type the fade time then press Enter. Fade times only
work to the nearest second.
• You can delete the autoload from the current cue by pressing E
[Delete Autoload] then pressing Enter.
