Smart Tag


Peter Wright

Recommended Posts

My theatre group has a FLX S24. According to the manual, record options should show a smart tag option amongst others. The only options I can see relating to this are "tagged parameters" and "all parameters". Looked through the manual and don't seem to be able to find any more info.

Am I missing something?

Hi Peter,

If you cannot see a SmartTag button in the Record Options window, this means that the console is in global Cue Only mode. See the link below for more information...

I hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Hi Edward,

Done that but a couple more queries.

Have set RGB mixing on playbacks as per the instruction in the manual (Pg 140) and it all works but is the following what should be happening?;

With colour(s) playback(s) at (say) full  and the intensity playback at full all ok but id the intensity playback is brought down to 0 and the colour(s) are left at full, fading the intensity back to full doesn't bring up the colour(s) without the fading the colour plyback(s) to 0 and then back up again.

Also, is it correct that fade up of the intensity playback must precede fade up of colour playbacks for this to work?

Hope this makes sense.

That is correct. This is because by default, the playback will release when its fader is lowered, and will then trigger again when it is raised. As colour information by default mixes LTP between playbacks (latest takes precedence), raising your colour mix intensity playback, which has colour information at 0, becomes the most recent instruction to the fixture. The fixtures therefore go black. To avoid this, you can disable release on lower on your colour mix intensity playback. To do this hold SETUP, and tap the playback's button. From the playback settings choose Raise & Lower at the top, and then disable Release on Lower, and click OK. For more information see the link below...

It doesn't have to. As per my point above, if you have disabled release on lower, it won't "retrigger" when you raise its fader, allowing you to set a colour, and then raise the intensity over the top.

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.
