Automark earliest

I always assumed that in the settings you could tell EOS how to behave on automark with the Latest or Earliest setting. Reading the manual I discovered that this is not the case.

it would be nice to set the global Automark behavior to Earliest, to mark fixtures in the the first cue after the intensity became zero. Latest being the current behavior where a fixture marks in the preceding the cue it marks for.

Also some desks make it possible to also mark effects. The effect would then be running already in the preceding cue, so that the effect is already running when the fixtures fade from zero. It could be nice to be able to choose this an option in the settings too.

  • The discussion DARKMOVE vs. MARK startet since the console startet over about 15 years ago, no result. ETC is not willing to give us an additional behavior.

  • If you want to work with a very good Drakmove, order a Transtechnik Prism or Focus.
    In the case of Darkmove, Stefan is correct.
    3D visualizer in a lightdesk also seems more important, no matter how meaningless it is ... than a stressless and working darkmove.
    What the "Darkmove" can at EOS - sorry for these direct words - is a joke.
    A joke that makes me cry ...

    And i have also no hope, ETC will ever change any at ths System "Darkmove"...
    (But,.... if i remember wright, ETC have say with start EOS 3.0, Darkmove will get some attention in next versions.... Now we at 3.1.3..... So maybe with Software Version 4.0 or 5.0....)

    You can say or critic about Darkmove what ever you want.
    In this case, ETC will not listen to Customers that must work day for day with this System...

    Thank you for your uplifting opinions. Let’s hope the fine folks at ETC are picking it up ;-)

    All joking aside, I think you are right. This needs some attention finally, as it is something we work with almost everyday that we use the console (and many things ETC is developing now are not)

  • If you really need to mark as soon as possible use Reference Marking so you can tell it where to mark

    Not a single hair on my head. I want to use automark, automatically…  Just better then 10 plus years ago, when it was introduced. 

    I just hope someone picks it up. It is very easy not to implement something like this, because “not  a lot of people ask for it” or “a work around exists, so why bother. “

    The "problem" is, ETC have one of the best Darkmove System in own house.
    I can say to everybody how ask for Darkmove, take a look at 20-30-40 years old Transtechnik Systems.
    Yes, yes, Automark is not Darkmove.
    And nobody can tell me it is not possible implement Transtechnik Darkmove in EOS System.
    At the end, ALL Computers are only If-Then Machines.....

    For simple discussion,... Microsoft Office runs at Apple, most of all Applikation runs on IOS and Android,....
    Means, many many software can run on different Systems.
    But only Transtechnik Software can`t work on EOS Systems?
    And during parallel times of Transtechnik and EOS many Syntax from EOS implement at Transtechnik and also other direction.

    And shure,... it is possible work with Reference Marks and it is also possible find ever a work around.
    (I can also buy a car with automatic transmission and drive it as a manual gear change....)
    On the other hand,... EOS Users ask since more then 10 years for correction at Darkmove in EOS.
    For a senseless 3D Visualizer is time, implement Video Content in a LIGHTDESK,... ETC find time for.
    But for a Basicfunction,....???
    Nooooo.

    As i "must" change from Transtechnik to EOS i have ask so often, is the Darkmove same as at Transtechnik.
    And i ever hear Yes, it is.
    But very fast i find out, Nope, Automark in EOS is a bad joke in oposite to Darkmove from Transtechnik.
