a. A one-digit entry must be followed by [Enter] and is interpreted as the digit times 10. b. A one-digit entry must be followed by [Enter] and is interpreted as the digit times 10.
Each effect has an overall upfade, dwell and downfade time. When you create an effect cue, the times default to the cue fade times in your system settings. If you have not changed the default settings, this means an upfade of zero seconds, a dwell of hold, 25 and a downfade26 of zero seconds. Press [Time] to set the effect’s upfade, dwell and downfade times.
Fade times may be programmed from 0.1 seconds to 99:59 minutes. The number may be entered in normal time format or in decimal format. When entered with a decimal point, the number must be less than one minute (0.1 to 59.9 seconds) to be accepted. When entered without a decimal point, a 2-digit number will be treated as seconds if less than 60 and as a calculated value of minutes and seconds if between 60 and 99. For example, if you enter 70, the time will display as 1:10. If you enter either a 3-digit or a 4-digit number, the last two digits, up to 59, are interpreted as seconds. For example, if you enter 9930, the time will display as 99:30.
25. Dwell time is the length of time the effect runs between the upfade of the first step and the downfade of the last step. Hold assigns an infinite dwell time, meaning the effect runs until an associated [Clear], [Go] or bump button is pressed to start the downfade. 26. See Setting default fade times, page 24.
