DMXControl 3 lessons


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.

Type Example format Description
rtc ?? ??
timecode 00:26:05 expects external timecode information
wait - waits for manual triggering ("Go next" button)
follow 5s xx
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.

Here is the example for the timecode selection.

to be added (by beta testers)


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
