Marking Chaos

I have a marking related question (or two).

The first:  What defines a "live move" as indicated by the "L" in the cue list.  I have some live scrolls in cues that don't indicate live moves. 

On that same note- D  the manual says this is is "automark is disabled".  We have turned automark off and I still have some Ds leftover.  I've been able to remove most of them- do these show up on referenced Marks as well.  What is the possibility of adding an indicator (or redefining this one since my brain always trys to interpret it this way) for Dark moves.  I've been spending a lot of time hunting these down lately and it would be handy to have an indication in the cue list.

Question two:  NiP autoblocks- it looks like the console is auto-blocking Marked lights (a feature I approve of if it is).  I come across a bunch of these in my cues but no indication of autoblocks in the block column in the cuelist- are these all Marked values or is the console just not telling me that it is autoblocking NiPs?

 

P.S.  This is the first time I've used Referenced Marks to a large degree and it is incredibly usefull- I'm looking forward to the upgrades when the come!

  • As far as I'm aware, the "L" flag indicates a move is occuring when a channel is fading too or from zero. If a channel has an intensity in the previous cue and in the current but has a colour change (for instance), then no flag would show up. I think the idea behind that is marking would not be able to fix that flag as it wouldn't have anywhere too mark!

    The "D" flag, when auto-mark is disabled, becomes a dark move flag. When auto-mark is on, then the "D" flag does indeed indicate auto-mark is disabled for that cue.

    The desk doesn't really "block" channels when they are marked, but it does treat them as though they are blocked (confusing I know!), No block flag will appear as no channel is really blocked. Unless of course if you block it yourself!

     

    I hope I don't sound to confusing with all that lol! Please ask any questions if you have any!

    Thanks
