Presetting Movers Before the Cue

I know there's a way, after a cue that fades out movers, for the Ion to "look ahead" at the next cue involving movers and preset all non-intensity parameters before the cue where the movers come up again.  (This is to avoid having to write a separate cue that does that presetting.)  How does that work?

    Hi Michael-

    This is the Automark function, which can be enabled in the Setup menu. With this enabled, the desk will look ahead 1 cue, and if a) the light is currently off and b) one or more NPs (color, focus, beam - or any combination of them) are have a move instruction, it will move them in the cue before.

    You might want to eventually explore the Referenced Mark function of the desk as well - this allows you to determine where a light will mark - this mark remains dynamic, of course. In Cue 8, you tell the desk to mark a light in Cue 3. In Cue 3, the desk looks ahead to see where it should be, which allows you to freely change position/colour/gobo/etcetera without worrying about updating the cue where it presets.
