182 Ion Operations Manual
Default Update Modes
You can define the default update modes in setup. The Update Setup options are under
Browser>Setup>Desk Settings>Record Defaults. Ion defaults to Update All for the {Update
Mode}, with {Break Nested} and {Update Last Reference} disabled.
Updating to References
When a cue is active, it is possible that various record targets (palettes or presets) will be played
back within that cue. As changes are made to the data in that cue, as well as to the individual
palettes or presets, updating both the cue and references within that cue is simple. When you have
overridden a reference in a cue, the data is displayed in red with a red “R” in superscript next to the
channel’s intensity.
By default, Ion updates any referenced data that was included in the cue.
For Example:
Cue 5 is recalled Live. It contains references to color palette 1 and preset 2. You make
changes to channels included in these record targets. To update both the cue and the
palettes or presets, press:
• [Update] [Enter]
This will automatically take the manual changes and update them to color palette 1 and
preset 2. Therefore cue 5 now references these new values, and the modifications to CP1
and PR2 have propagated through all of the show data.
If you had made changes to other channels that were not included in the palettes or presets
used in cue 5, those values would also be updated to the cue as absolute data.
Updating Without References (Make Absolute)
If you want to record your changes to the cue without updating the references, you may use {Make
Absolute} break the associated to the reference. The {Make Absolute} command can be applied
to the required channels or parameters before the update instruction, or they can be applied during
the update.
• [Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter] - breaks the references for any parameters which have
been changed and update the cue with the changes. The referenced target will no longer be
displayed in the channels which were made absolute. All of the data updated in cue 5 will now
be shown as absolute data.
• [5] [Thru] [9] [Update] {Make Absolute} [Enter] - breaks only the references for channels 5-
9 and record their manual values to the cue. Other manual values will not be included in this
update.
You may also use [Record Only] to break references.
