The dialogue box also provides you with a listing (by record target) of what channels/parameters
will be impacted by the update instruction. If the channel contains a reference in the cue, it is
indicated. Channels that have been manually added to the stage output, but are not overrides of
an active cue will update to the selected cue list.
Once you have made a selection from the available options, press [Enter] and the target will be
updated.
Targets may be deselected from the dialogue box, excluding them from the update without
specifying the target number, for example, [Update] {Color Palette} [Enter].Selecting a line by
clicking or pressing it can also be used to deselect a target.
For Eos Family devices that do not have a [Snapshot] hardkey, there is a {Snapshot} softkey that
is available in the Update display.
Updating to References
When a cue is active, it is possible that various record targets (palettes or presets) will be played
back within that cue. As changes are made to the data in that cue, as well as to the individual
palettes or presets, updating both the cue and references within that cue is simple. When you
have overridden a reference in a cue, the data is displayed in red with a red "R" in superscript
next to the channel's intensity.
By default, Element updates any referenced data that was included in the cue.
Example:
Cue 5 is recalled Live. It contains references to color palette 1 and preset 2. You make
changes to channels included in these record targets. To update both the cue and the
palettes/presets, press:
[Update] [Enter]
•
This will automatically take the manual changes and update them to color palette 1
and preset 2. Therefore cue 5 now references these new values, and the modifications
to CP1 and PR2 have propagated through all of the show data.
If you had made changes to other channels that were not included in the
palettes/presets used in cue 5, those values would also be updated to the cue as
absolute data.
Updating Without References (Make Absolute)
If you want to record your changes to the cue without updating the references, you may use
{Make Absolute} to break the association to the reference. The {Make Absolute} command can
be applied to the channels/parameters required before the update instruction, or they can be
applied during the update.
[Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter] - this will break the references for any parameters
•
which have been changed and update the cue with the changes. The referenced target
will no longer be displayed in the channels which were made absolute. All of the data
