Settings of Executor View

To go to the Settings of Executor View, tap the tool  in the title bar of the Cues View or tap on an executor in the Executor Bar Window.

Figure 1: Settings of Executor Window

In this view, you can set different settings for the executor.

To select the function of an executor, tap at the executor displayed in the view. The Select Function of Executor Window opens.


Chaser

To set the executor to a chaser, tap at the prohibition sign.

Hint:
You can identify that an executor is a chaser, if the executor in the executor bar is displayed in blue.

For more information about chasers, refer to What are Chasers?


MIB (Move in black) late

To activate MIB (Move in black) late, tap at the prohibition sign.

If MIB is activated, MIB will be preposition attributes of fixtures that are fading in from zero. The preposition will be activated before the dimmer is fading in from zero.

Example MIB on:
You have two cues. Cue 1 fixture 1 at full and cue 2 fixture 2 at full with pan/tilt position.
If you start cue 1, fixture 1 gets at full and fixture 2 will preset its position. If you start cue 2, only the dimmer of fixture 2 gets at full.

Figure 2: Values of cue 1 with active MIB late
Hint:
If you want to deactivate MIB late only for several fixtures on the executor, store these fixtures in the previous cue with a dimmer values of 1.

Autostop

Information:
Use autostop only for fader executors.

To activate autostop for the executor, tap at the prohibition sign.

If autostop is on, the executor turns off when a fader position of 0 is reached.
If autostop is off, the executor stays on when a fader position of 0 is reached.


Use Master Speed

To deactivate master speed for an executor, tap at the tick mark.

If an executor uses master speed, the master speed fader controls the speed of effects in cues and chasers for this executor.
If an executor does not use master speed, the master speed fader does not control this executor. Effects use the stored effect speed.

For more information, refer to Magic Speed View.


Use Master Rate

To deactivate master rate for an executor, tap at the tick mark.

If an executor uses the master rate, the master rate controls the speed of the cue fade and cue delay timings.
If an executor does not use the master rate, the master rate does not control this executor.

For more information, refer to Magic Speed View.


Swop Protect

To turn swop protect on, tap at the tick mark.

If swop protect is on, the dimmer values of this executor are not set to zero when an other swop executor is on.


Restart Mode

To select the restart mode, tap at the three dots .

There are two different restart modes available:

  • First (default): The executor starts with the first cue.
  • Current: The executor starts with the current cue.

Cue Zero

To activate cue zero for the executor, tap at the prohibition sign.

If cue zero is on, the dot2 creates a not visible cue zero on this executor.
The cue zero stores the default values of any attributes which are used in any cue on this executor.

If cue zero is on, any attributes which are used in any cue on this executor will have their default values additional to the values of the current cue.

For more information about tracking, refer to What is Tracking?

Example Cue Zero On:
Let´s assume, you have stored fixture 1 thru 3 in blue at executor 1.
In cue 1 of executor 2 is fixture 1 stored in red.
In cue 2 of executor 2 is fixture 2 stored in green.
In cue 3 of executor 2 is fixture 3 stored in green.
Cue zero is on for executor 2.

Start executor 1 gives you three fixtures in blue.

Figure 3: Fixture 1 thru 3 blue

Start cue 1 of executor 2 gives you fixture 1 in red.
Fixture 2 and 3 have their default values because they are used on executor 2 in cue 2 and cue 3.

Figure 4: Fixture 1 red - cue zero on

Example Cue Zero Off:
Same initial situation as in example cue zero on.

Start cue 1 of executor 2 gives you fixture 1 in red.
Fixture 2 and 3 are keeping the values from executor 1.

Figure 5: Fixture 1 red - fixture 2 and 3 blue

Example Cue Zero On - Copy with Status:
Let´s assume, you will copy cue 1 at cue 4 as it is and without tracking values from cue 3.
Turn cue zero on and choose copy method with status.

Copy Exec 1.2 Cue 1 At Exec 1.2 Cue 4

Cue 4 is exactly the same as cue 1 because it copies additional the values from cue zero.

Figure 6: Copied cue 1 to cue 4 with cue zero and status

Example Cue Zero On - Copy no Status:
Let´s assume, you copy cue 1 at cue 4 with cue zero on but with no status.

The values from cue 3 are tracked to cue 4.

Figure 7: Copied cue 1 to cue 4 with cue zero and no status

Off Time

To set the off time in seconds, use the plus or minus or the numbered keys on the console.

If an executor has an off time and you turn the executor off by using Off and pressing the executor button go, the executor turns off in the selected off time.
If an executor has an off time and you turn the executor off by using the fader, all attributes expect the dimmer turns off in the selected off time, after you reached the 0% status of the fader.
If an executor is a chaser and an off time is selected, the off time changes into an on and off time. The chasers starts in the selected off time and ends in the selected off time.


Timecode

To select the timecode signal for this executor, tap at the green timecode field.

There are three timecode signal options available:

  • Off = No timecode signal
  • SMPTE
  • MIDI
