==Overview==
Scene lists are the means to control your show. In this lesson we explain how to define the sequence and the flow of scenes by triggers.

==Lecture 11: Trigger in scene lists ==

In previous lesson we learnt how to create cues and scene lists. Now we are familar with most of the attributes of scene list, but some more explanation about the trigger is nessecary. The default trigger is "follow", i.e. the next cue will be started after the previous one is finished.

But there are some other types of triggers, the following table informs you about its behaviour.

[[Datei:DMXC3L11 trigger.jpg]]

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Type !! Example format !! Description
|-
| rtc || ?? || ??
|-
| timecode || 00:26:05 || expects external timecode information
|-
| wait || 5s || countdown starts when the previous scene fades is
|-
| follow || 5s || waits for fading in of the previous scene and then the countdown will start
|-
| beat || - || not yet supported?
|}

In case you type a wrong format into the '''trigger value''' field you will get some hints about the expected input. See the example for the "follow" type.

''Hint:'' Type in combined time information without "blank" character, e.g. 1m20s

Here is the example for the timecode selection.

'''topics to be added (by beta testers)'''
* What about "rtc"?
* Example for external timecode usage
* How to configure "beat"?

==Excercise==
* Test a mix of "follow" and "wait" triggers in one scene list
* Use a tool providing timecodes (DE MediaCenter) and test a scenelist that is completely based on timecodes

==Overview==
Scenes (cues) are the most important elements of your show. Here we will explain the powerful scene concept of DMXControl 3. The terms "cue" and "scene" are used as synonym words.

==Lecture 8: Scenes (cues) and scene lists ==
Each scene needs a "host container"- that's a scene list. Therefore you have to create at first one or more scene lists by clicking the button "Create scenelist" which you can find in the project explorer main menu. Of course, the created scene list will appear in the folder "Scene list".

[[Datei:DMXC3L08_createSceneListnew.JPG|600px]]

You can open this new scene list with a '''double click''' on the object in the project explorer or using the context menu item "open". Next step is to create a new scene. For creating a new cue we will change the color of the moving lights to "red" (please open the shutter too) and we turn on the two middle front lights.

[[Datei:DMXC3L08 changeLiveView.JPG]]

Return to the scene list panel and press the '''Store cue''' button. At first the programmer filter tool will appear where you can manually influence which devices and which attributes should be really taken over into the new scene. Typically you can confirm without modification.

[[Datei:DMXC3L08 programmerFilter.JPG]]

The result is your first cue (scene) in your scene list. You should change the name of the cue thus you can remember laterly what is the reason and target of this cue (e.g. "First Scene", "Start cue", "ML to red", etc.)

[[Datei:DMXC3L08 FirstScene.JPG]]

In following table we explain the meaning of cue attributes (which you can see in the scene list header:

{| class="wikitable"
! Attribute
! Description
! Example
|-
| Progress
| shows status of scene during execution of scene list
| in percent
|-
| Trigger
| relation to predecessor cue, use "follow" as default
| see lesson 11
|-
| Trigger Value
|
| see lesson 11
|-
| Name
| free name of scene
| should explain the content of cue
|-
| Fade
| fade-in value
| in milli seconds
|-
| Delay
| delay ?
| ?
|-
| Act.
| is this cue active or should it be ignored?
| default: active
|-
| Ap.
| ?
| ?
|-
| Comment
| for free use, insert explaining words
|
|-
|}

In the same way you can create some more cues and store it in the scene list.

'''topics to be added (by beta testers)'''
*

==Excercise==
* Generate your own cues
* Try the buttons "All", "Clear" and "Selected" in the programmer filter
* Work with different fade times
