Triggers - Basic

Pause All

Pauses all timelines at their current position - effects and media will also freeze.

Resume Timeline

Resumes playback of a paused timeline from its current position, use the configuration pane to select which
timeline.

Resume All

Resumes playback of all paused timelines from their current positions.

Release All Timelines

Releases all output, use the configuration pane to set a release fade time.

Set Intensity

Sets the intensity of a group of fixtures, use the configuration pane to select the group, intensity level, fade and
delay times. Because the MSCs are genuine lighting controllers as opposed to DMX framestore devices, realtime
control of intensity is available at all times as it would be on a sophisticated lighting console. You can control the
intensity of one or more groups of fixtures regardless of what timeline(s) they may be running.

You can think of each group as having its own intensity fader, which this action allows you to move between
100% (default) and 0%. You can specify which group to affect and the new position for the fader. It is sometimes
useful to set the fader position (as a percentage) from a

variable

- this permits direct intensity mastering via an

input such as serial, MIDI or DMX. The fade and delay times can also be set from

variables

.

The fader modifies the programmed intensity for all fixtures within the group. On startup all groups have their
faders at 100%. Where multiple groups containing the same fixtures have their intensity reduced then the
decrease is cumulative.

Note that if you decrease intensity for one group you can only increase it again by acting on the same group.
Applying an increase intensity action to a different group will have no effect even if that group contains the same
fixtures - you would be trying to move a different fader.

Increase & Decrease Intensity

Increases or decreases the intensity of a group of fixtures, use the configuration pane to select the, group, step
size (in percent), fade and delay times. Because the MSCs are genuine lighting controllers as opposed to DMX
framestore devices, realtime control of intensity is available at all times as it would be on a sophisticated lighting
console. You can control the intensity of one or more groups of fixtures regardless of what timeline(s) they may
be running.

You can think of each group as having its own intensity fader, which these actions allow you to move between
100% (default) and 0%. You can specify which group to affect and the increment by which to change the fader
position. It is sometimes useful to set the step size, fade and delay times from

variables.
