Park

Description

The Park command causes the selected channels’ output values to become unchangeable. Whatever values the selected channels were outputting from CueServer at the moment they were parked is now frozen and cannot be changed by anything occurring in the playback faders, submasters, cues, presets or from the DMX Input. Channels are parked at the output stage of the CueServer, after all other input, playback and live stages.

Use channel parking as a way to guarantee that certain channels will maintain their value regardless of other activities occurring on the CueServer.

The Unpark command has the opposite effect as the Park command. Additionally, if it is desired to freeze a channel value in an individual playback fader, see the Lock and Unlock commands.

!Please Note: Prior to software version 5.0, the Park command behaved differently. Instead of parking channel values globally in the output layer, it used to lock channels in a specific playback fader. Additionally, the Clear and Reset commands were able to reset any locked channels in a playback. Starting with version 5.0, the Park command parks channels in the output layer and are unaffected by the Clear or Reset commands. The previous behavior has been moved to the Lock command. The new Park behavior mirrors that of traditional lighting consoles.
