Effect Status Display

To view the effects currently running, you may press [Displays]>{Effect Status} to open the effect status display in the CIA.

This display shows you any currently running effects and gives you the ability to edit the effect while running.

The effect itself can be accessed for editing from this display by pressing {Edit} - any changes made directly in the effect status display are made to the effect itself and must be stored. Cue level overrides also must be stored or updated to the required cue, but do not impact the basic effect itself.

Effect attributes modified in the effect status display can be reset to their previous values using the softkeys:

• {Rate} [Enter] - resets the rate to the previous value.

The properties of an effect that can be modified at a cue or sub level will display at the bottom of the Effect Status display and in the Effect Channel Display (which is access by pressing [Shift] & [Effect]). Click on a column to make changes from a list of available options.

Several color indicators are used in the Effect Status Display. Those colors and their meanings are:

• Grey - property is drawn directly from the effect.
• Red - property has been manually modified but not stored.
• Blue - property is an override to the saved effect.
• Magenta - property is tracking from a previous cue.

Clicking on the Attributes column will open the Effect Attribute Override display. From that display, you can access most of the same properties as those found in the Effect Editor. This display allows you to make modifications to properties, and store those modifications in a cue or submaster.

{Restart Effect} is an atrribute that can only be accessed from this display. When enabled, {Restart Effect} will cause an effect to restart whenever the cue is fired. This attribute is applied to the cue that the effect is stored in and not in the effect itself.
