Control/Dimming ETC Element Question

[Lazerlight]

Is there a way to create a cue or a multi part cue on the element to unpark a channel, dim it, bring it. back up, then park it again?

You'll need to create two macros. One to unpark the channel, one to park it. Your cue will need to probably be a series of follow cues, rather than one multipart cue. First will need to execute the macro to unpark the channel (execute will be on a softkey). So [Cue][x][execute][macro][y][Enter]. You could use a delay on the cue, or in a another part to dim the channel. Second cue would be executing reparking the channel.

I'm thinking 2 macro's and 3-4 cues.

- Write the Unpark and Park macro's

- Cue "WW", brings channel XX to full (this way the channel is at a level when you unpark, the Un-Park action will take the channel to zero in Park).
- Cue "XX" as a follow/hang to "WW", runs the macro to unpark.
- Cue "YY" runs the macro to repark the channel at a level.
- Cue "ZZ" (optional) takes out the channel that is now parked, or that may happen in any latter cue.
