Replace With

{Replace With} is used to select channels that have certain specified values and then provide new
instructions for those values.
For Example:
Select a range of cues:
• [Cue] [1] [Thru] [9] [Enter]
Select a range of channels that are used throughout these cues and enter a change
instruction:
• [1] [Thru] [7] <At> [Color Palette] [5] {Replace With} <Color Palette> [3]
[Enter]
This instruction finds all instances of channels 1-7 in cues 1-9 that are in color palette 5 and
replace CP5 with CP3. Be aware of the track/cue only settings when using this command.
The range of possibilities of potential {Replace With} commands is virtually endless and can be
applied to single cues or channels, ranges of cues or channels, parameters of any type, or timing
data.

Move To

{Move To} is used to move cues from one location in a cue list to another location in the same or a
different cue list. When cues are moved, values that were tracks or move instructions and now
match the previous cue will be auto-blocked by the system. The impact on subsequent cues is
based on track/cue only settings as described above. Below is an example of {Move To}:
•[Cue] [2] {Move To} <Cue> [9] [Enter] - the contents of cue 2 moves to cue 9. Cue 2 is
deleted. If cue 9 already existed, a confirmation would be required to overwrite it. You can also
hit [Copy To] [Copy To] to access {Move To}.
In the above example, any tracked values in cue 2 become blocks (see Block, page 176) or moves
in cue 9, as well as any move instructions which now match the previous cue. Cues after cue 9 are
affected based on the default setting of track/cue only. Any values in the cue after cue 2 that tracked
from moves in cue 2 are changed to move instructions.
Ranges of cues can be moved as well. You can also move cues to other cue lists. In either of these
situations if any cue is to be overwritten, a confirmation is required.
Using Encoders in Blind
The encoders are disabled by default in blind. Press an [encoder paging key] prior to moving the
encoders, and they will function while you remain in blind.
When a cue is specified, you can select channels and alter parameters using the encoders. [Cue
Only/Track] can be placed on the command line to determine how these changes will impact
subsequent cues.
