Tracker Software
For an attribute to Auto Move the following must be true:-
●
●
●
●
AMWD must be enabled.
The intensity of the channel on stage must be zero
The intensity of the channel in the next cue must be non zero.
The attribute value in the next cue must differ from the current value on stage.
AMWD can be overridden on a cue by cue basis by setting non-zero intensity values, 1% is sufficient
to disable AMWD. Any Manual recorded Mark cues (cues that move attributes with the intensity off) will
still be executed as normal.
Referenced Groups (Preset Focus)
Note: Preset Groups is only available with Tracker on Pentium based consoles. 486 based consoles
do not support this feature.
Preset allows individual channels or attributes in Cues, Effects and Submasters to be recorded as links
to the same intensity or attribute in one of 750 groups (Groups 1..750). On playback the values of the
intensities and/or attributes are obtained from the Group they are linked to, instead of being obtained
for the Cue, Submaster or Effect they are recorded in. This lookup is done each and every time the
Cue, Submaster or Effect is replayed. Thus if the value of an intensity or attribute in a Group is
changed, every Cue, Effect or Submaster that uses this Group will play back the linked channel with
the new value.
When used to record focus positions (pan and tilt) this facility is referred to as Preset Focus.
The following example shows how to set up Preset (or Referenced) groups; in this instance, Preset
Focus.
