Using the Auto Select Feature
Auto Select is a useful feature that can be applied to Cues that are not yet
fully programmed or that need to be changed whilst live.
Replaying a Cue that has been stored with Auto Select turned on, causes
the Lamp Selection and Attributes for that Cue to appear on the Lamp
Selection and Lamp Attribute Control Area, thus enabling Attribute
selection and adjustments to be made without affecting the stored Cue.
To apply Auto Select when creating a Cue...
 After selecting the Lamps required for the Cue, apply Auto Select
by pressing one of the auto select buttons (the button LED will be
lit when active).
Auto Select can be applied separately to Colour, Beam, Effects or Position,
but only needs to be applied to one Attribute in a Cue.
 Choose a ‘temporary’ setting for the Auto Select Attribute; this can
either be Palette option or an absolute value. However, please
note that Auto Select does not function with the ‘ none ’ setting .
 Now choose any other settings and save the Cue in the normal
way.
To apply Auto Select to an existing Cue...
 Preview the Cue as you would for modifying it.
 Press one of the auto select buttons (the button LED should be
lit), then either reselect the existing Attribute option or choose a
new setting.
To remove Auto Select from an existing Cue...
 Preview the Cue as you would for modifying it.
 Press the active auto select button (the button LED should be off),
then either reselect the existing Attribute option or choose a new
setting.
Defining Time Parts for a Cue
 Call-up Cue Entity Screen 1 on the Main LCD for the required Cue
(e.g. press cue 1 next in the Main Keypad Control Area):
Cue:1 {Cue 1 } TP:1 (Intensity)
LTP Wait:0s Move:0s
Wait:0s Up:0s Hold:0s Down:0s
[Defaults]
 Move the cursor to the Time Part field and choose a Time Part
number (1, 2, 3 or 4).
 Set the various envelope parameters for that Time Part as
required. To use Ventura’s default time values, press the [Defaults]
button (soft function 3).
These default times are defined by the Default Cue Times Screen
1 in the Set-up Menu (see page 95 for further details.)
IMPORTANT NOTE
Setting the Up and Down times to zero for a particular Time Part will
disable AutoFade for that Time Part.
