Pearl Tiger Theatre Stack Behaviour in Rec by Channel Mode
Posted: 26 Nov 2009, 19:16
Despite reading the manual I'm unable to resolve the following question:
I have put the desk in tracking mode (ie Record by Channel) & programmed a series of dimmer cues (ie HTP channels) into the console in Theatre stack mode. On playback I would expect a tracking console to only output the changes between cues. Take the following 2 cues:
Cue1: 1@10
Cue2: 2@10
On replaying Cue2 I would expect both 1 & 2@10 on the channel outputs view especially since I didnt explicitly record a blocking cue of 1@0 in Cue 2.
But replaying Cue2 just puts 2@10. I did press 'clear' before setting up & recording cue2 - but thats not the same as explicitly recording 1@0 is it? Even if I approch it a different way by inserting cue 1.1 containing 2@10, when I replay back cue 1.1 ch1 is still 0.
Where am I going wrong please? Does the tracking mode of Pearl behave
like a tradition tracking desk?
I accept that performing a similar test using moving lights in 'rec by channel' mode works perfectly as expected
Thanks in advance for your advice
