To Live From Blind

From blind, a softkey {Live} is posted when you press [Recall From] or [Copy To] to allow you to
copy to or recall information from live. The following examples only work with the {Live} softkey, not
the [Live] hard key.

[1] [Recall From] {Live} [Enter]

[2] [Copy To] {Live} [Enter]

From the Cue Spreadsheet

The cue spreadsheet is another useful blind view of cue data. In spreadsheet view, cues are listed
on the y axis and channels and parameters are displayed on the x axis. This view is useful for
viewing a limited number of channels over a span of numerous cues. This makes spreadsheet view
useful for viewing overall trends in channel and parameter data.

By default, only intensity date is displayed. [Shift] & [Format] will toggle the display to show all
parameters. [Shift] & [Format] again will restore to show only intensity.

Editing cue ranges is possible in spreadsheet view.

Replace With

{Replace With} is used to select channels that have certain specified values and then provide new
instructions for those values.

For Example:

Select a range of cues:

[Cue] [1] [Thru] [9] [Enter]

Select a range of channels that are used throughout these cues and enter a change

instruction:

[1] [Thru] [7] {Color Palette} [5] {Replace With} [3]

[Enter]

This instruction finds all instances of channels 1-7 in cues 1-9 that are in color palette 5 and

replace CP5 with CP3. Be aware of the track/cue only settings when using this command.

The range of possibilities of potential {Replace With} commands is virtually endless and can be
applied to single cues or channels, ranges of cues or channels, parameters of any type, or timing
data.

N o t e :

[Cue] [1] [Thru] [Enter] will select all stored cues. [Thru] [Enter] can be used

with all record targets.
