PROGRAMMING SCENES USING PRESET FOCUS

Preset focuses or position memories allow you to speed up the programming of fixtures into scenes by linking channels to a library of scenes that you have previously programmed for this purpose. In the Power Cue DMX this library can contain 46 scenes of the 512 available, i.e. nos. 450-495 and in the scene list these scenes are indicated with a 'p' on the right hand side of the display. A scene indicated with a 'P' (upper case) is a preset currently being used by a client scene. Preset scenes are

programmed in the normal way, as shown in pages 24-29. Whenever a preset scene is modified, all its client scenes are similarly modified. Up to three presets may be used by each client scene.

When you program a client scene and create a link to a preset scene to choose, for example, a mirror position, the mirror channels will be annotated Lnk while all other channels will be annotated NoLnk, see 8. below.

Client scene channels linked by a previous selection are automatically excluded from any
