The AutoMark feature is a system default setting and can be turned on or off at a global level. The system default for this setting is off. To change the default settings see Cue Settings
When AutoMark is enabled, non-intensity parameter transitions will occur in the cue immediately preceding the cue in which the changes are stored, if intensity in that cue is moved from zero to any active level. Therefore, the preceding cue “executes” the AutoMark.
AutoMark information is displayed for cues or cue parts. It is not a channel instruction. AutoMarked cues are indicated by an “M” in the M column of the playback status display.
AutoMarks will execute using the time of the cue in which the moves occur (the cue indicated by “M”). The exceptions to this are the mark time in setup, or if discrete timing is stored with the move instruction, in which case the discrete time will be used.
AutoMarks will display the same way in Live and in Blind.
