one), provided the HTP instruction is higher than the LTP value. When a cue from an HTP cue list
is executed, Element determines if the intensity value when the cue is complete will be higher than
the current setting. If so, the intensity will begin to fade from its current value to the required value
in the incoming cue using the cue's upfade time.
Note that this behavior is relevant only to cues. If a submaster is going to provide a higher level,
Element will wait until the value is matched before assuming control of the intensity.
The following example illustrates the use of the {HTP/LTP} softkey in the cue list index:
• [Cue] [1] [/] {LTP/HTP} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between HTP/LTP behavior.
Independent
The {Independent} softkey sets the cue list to independent. Any channel parameters currently
under the control of an independent playback cannot be changed by non-independent submasters.
Independent status is equally shared between independent cue list and submasters.
The following example illustrates the use of the {Independent} softkey in the cue list index:
• [Cue] [1] [/] {Independent} [Enter] - toggles the selected cue list between non-independent
and independent mode.
Background
The {Background} softkey is a toggle state for enabling/disabling the background state of a cue
list. Background states are enabled by default. When enabled, the content of the cue list will act as
a background or previous state for other cues and submasters. When a cue list has its background
state disabled, a “Background Disabled” will display at the top of the cue list.
Fader
Faders can be set as Proportional, Manual Master, or Intensity Master (I-Master). This affects how
cues are recalled and modified. See
Proportional vs. Intensity Master, page 99
. See
Proportional faders, when the slider is set to zero prior to the execution of a cue, will withhold
playback of intensity data until the slider is raised. Intensity data will then be played back
proportionally according to the level of the fader. Once the slider reaches full, the cue is considered
complete and the cue is released from the manual fader. If the slider is at any value other than zero
when the cue is executed, intensity values will play back normally. If the slider is returned toward
zero, intensity in the cue will face to the previous level.
Faders set as Intensity Masters will master the intensity level for cues during playback. Therefore,
intensity masters set below 100% will proportionally limit playback of intensity data relative to the
level that the slider is set. All non-intensity parameters are unaffected by the slider. Once the slider
has reached full, control of intensity is retained. If the slider is moved toward zero, intensity will
proportionally fade toward zero (not the previous state as per proportional faders).
For Example:
The playback fader is an intensity master and the slider is set at 50%.
When a cue is played back on this fader, intensity values will raise to 50% of their final
values and then stop. As the intensity master is raised/lowered, intensities will increase/
decrease accordingly. Once the slider has reached full, control of intensity is retained.
Auto-Block Cleanup
Cues that have auto-blocks will display a underscored b in the PSD and Cue List Index. {AutoBlk
Clean} is used to remove all auto-blocks from the entire cue list. {AutoBlk Clean} is a softkey that
will be posted when the cue list is on the command line in the Cue List Index, Live, or Blind.
