Using [Copy To] - ETC ION Operation Manual

Using [Copy To]

[Copy To] allows you to copy all data from one channel to another, either within the current working
mode or to a different record target. [Copy To] works much like [Recall From], but in the opposite
direction, [Copy To] forces data to a channel from the selected channel, whereas [Recall From]
pulls it from a channel to the selected channel.
By using the IFCB category buttons or parameter buttons, you may copy subsets of channel data.
Entire cues, cue ranges and cue lists can be copied to other locations. To only copy over intensity
levels, use the {Only Levels} softkey.
When referenced data is copied, if the copy target also has data in the reference that is being
copied, the target will be placed in that reference (such as, CP 1), at its stored values. If the copy
target is not included in the reference, absolute data will be copied to the target, and not the
reference.
Below are some examples of copy commands from record targets. This command is very versatile
and the following list is far from exhaustive:
• [2] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - copies all information for channel 2 to cue 5.
• [2] [Time] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - Copies just the timing data for all parameters of
channel 2 to cue 5.
• [2] [-] [Focus] [8Copy To] [Cue] [5] [Enter] - Copies all parameter data for channel 2, other
than focus, to cue 5.
• [Group] [3] [Copy To] [Preset] [6] [Enter] - copies current information for group 3 to preset 6.
• [3] [Copy to] [6] [Cue] [8] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channel 6 in cue 8.
• [3] [Copy to] [4] [thru] [9] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3 to channels 4 thru 9.
• [3] [Copy to] [8] [Cue] [2] [/] [1] [Cue Only/Track] [Enter] - copies the data from channel 3
to channel 8 in cue 2/1 and takes exception to the track/cue only settings in regard to
subsequent cues in cue list 2.
• [Cue] [2] [/] [Copy to] [Cue] [7] [/] [Enter] - copies all of the contents of cue list 2 to cue list 7.
• [Cue] [1] [/] [1] [thru] [1] [0] [Copy To] [Cue] [5] [/] [5] <thru> [Enter] - copies cues 1 thru
10 from cue list 1 to cue list 5, starting with cue 5.
• [1] [Copy To] [2] [0] {Only Levels} [Enter] - copies only the parameter information from
channel 1 to channel 20.
