Description

Recording Presets

The Record Preset command records (or re-records) a preset.

By default, all channels being output from the CueServer are captured into the preset, and the preset is recorded in the currently active zone. Use the command options to change what source the channels are recorded from or to choose a different zone to record into.

If no preset with the cue number exists, a new preset will be created. If a preset with the preset number already exists, it will be deleted first and replaced with an entirely new preset. To re-record just the DMX channels without affecting the other preset parameters, use the Update Preset command instead.

Record Preset Options

Several options are available to change how a preset is recorded. More than one option may be used, and they can be listed in any order.

Input
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded by using only values from the DMX Input. The playback faders and DMX output will not be recorded.

Playback n
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded by using only values from the specified playback fader. The DMX input and output will not be recorded.

Live
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded by using only values from the special Live playback fader. The DMX input and output will not be recorded.

Fade t
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded with a Fade Time of t.

Name s
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded with a Name of s.

Zone “z”
If this option is used, then the new preset will be recorded into Zone z. This option overrides the currently active zone.
