Titan Mobile, dimmer channels LTC problem

Postby MontiDC » 01 Mar 2014, 13:34

Hi
I just start to work with Titan mobile. And I have a LTP-HTC problem.
Though it is stated that dimmer channel fixtures behave HTP in my cue-list they do not.
If I set a dimmer channel to 0% intensity in a cue it is not recorded, thus remaining at the value from the previous cue
(It works if I set the intensity level to 1%, but that doesn't seem a nice workaround…).
The Patch has been made according to the manual.

I would be very grateful for a hint how to resolve!

By default cue lists are set to tracking. This will mean that if a dimmer is recorded in a cue it will remain at that level for all subsequent cues until it reaches a cue with a new value. This includes zero. Therefore if cue 1 = dimmer @ 100%, cue 2 is empty and cue 3 = dimmer @ 0 % the output will be cue 1 = on, cue 2 = on, cue 3 = off.

So check that the cue actually contains the zero value - view playback and press the [View] button next to the relevant cue. If it is definitely there but the dimmer doesn't turn off then we can go into more detail.

Thanks for the quick response and help!
Only today I have returned to the project and seen that I can change the tracking in the CueList.
Now it works fine!

Sorry for bothering again.

It seemed that setting tracking to cue only would resolve my problem.
I saw your response only after I had programmed around 200 cues in cue only tracking mode.
And only then I realized that it means 1 cue only.

Still it seemed to work fine. I could include,edit, merge or insert, clear, then jump forward or backward and my cues were ok.
But as soon as I close Titan Mobile and start it again, I have some seemingly random behavior. Several cues have new channels in them or there are attributes changed.

I suppose it must have to do with sloppy use of the numeric pad, inserting a channel in several memories of the cuellist, so my actual question is:
Can I correct intensity/attributes of 1 dimmer/fixture in multiple cues of a cuelist and how would I do it?
