Event Programming - Show Control Editor

Adding Events to Tracks

To add events to a track:

1. Select the track by clicking on its color in the left column.
2. Position your cursor in one of the track’s time bars and right-click.
3. A window appears, click on « Add Event ».
    
4. A diamond appears at the selected location.
   

Add as many events as you like to the different tracks.

Note: Each event (diamond) corresponds to the state of the outputs at that moment.

Selecting and moving events

Show Control Editor lets you define a selection area across multiple tracks. Delete, Cut, Copy and Paste operations apply to the entire selection area.

• Drag the selection area header to move all events contained in the selection.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging to copy the events in the selection.
• An individual event can also be moved directly by dragging and dropping it.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging an event to copy it.
• Hold Shift and click on a track to extend the selection area to the selected position.

Inserting empty space

The Insert Empty Space function can add space to one or more tracks from the beginning of the project, the cursor position, a selected position on a track or the selection area.

Editing multiple events

Event editing functions can apply changes to the selected events, including:

• setting the maximum or minimum value;
• increasing or decreasing the value;
• changing the progression type.

Modifying Event Output Values

Each track represents one or more DMX channels, and each event represents one or more values at that moment.

By clicking on the diamond (event) of the track, you can view the values associated with that event at that moment at the bottom of the screen.

Each potentiometer corresponds to a channel.

The output value of a DMX channel ranges from 0 to 255. You can choose your desired value by dynamically adjusting the potentiometer button.

• Set the value to its maximum

• Set the value to its minimum
  
• 
  
• 
  Set the progression mode. Immediate value change
  
  
  
• Set the progression mode. Gradual value change from the previous point
  

By selecting the gradual mode, the output value evolves from the value of the previous point to the new value of the new point. This function can be used to achieve gradual lighting or dimming of a light, or to create movement from one position to another.

Modifying the 8-Output Track

The principle is identical for placing events. Click on the switch representation to open or close it.
