Scene list tool

From English DMXCWiki

Description

The Scene list tool allows you to define the timing of your show - This is one of your your management centres for the cues!

Your show comprises individual scenes to which you assign a Fade-in time and duration. Every Scene is defined by the DMX values of its selected channels.

Scenes are added by clicking on the green '+' in the lower tool bar. You can create simple Scene from the existing settings of the DMX channels, a moving sceene,Audio scene or add an existing Scene from the sceene library by clicking on the german words 'Aus Bibliothek'. from here every Scene that you have created in your project is stored.

To play the sceenes click on the small black box to tick the scenes you wish to play. Non ticked items will be skipped and not played. Click the name of the first Scene you wish to play then click the play button (the first green triangle on the lower tool bar) the Scene will fade in for the time you have set under the 'Fadeln time'. whilest this is working a blue bar at the bottom of the Scene list will go from left to right. the Scene will remain operating for the 'Duration'. the blue bar at the bottom of the Scene list will go from right to left. The played Scene will be displayed in BOLD type on the list. When one Scene has finished the next ticked Scene will play and so on to the end of the list. If the double arow (second button on the lower tool bar) is active all ticked scenes in the list will be continiously sequentialy played untill you stop the play out by clicking again the green arow at the lower tool bar.

The Scene list tool can be used for theater performances to schedule a simple list of scenes. Scenenlists are processed in sequential order, starting at currently marked Scene. The GO button advances to the next Scene in the list.

You have to select the first Scene in order to start a sequence (should be done by default).

For the "GO" button to work, the following conditions must be met:

• The scenelist must be started ("Play" mode have to be pressed)
• The respective Scene must have as duration "manual" (set the time to zero and reduce another tenth the word 'Manuell' will replace the timing boxes)
• The scenes must be marked with a checkmark, otherwise they are deactivated.

You may have to deactivate HTP in Program configuration (depending on the Scene definition).

The Scene list tool is considerably less resource-intensive than the Effectsequencer.
