Hello,

I have many cues with 4 Robin Robe (different positions, effects, focuses, ...)

I would like to have a "dark state" during transitions between these cues in a playback, i think it should be the job of  the "move on dark" (or something else...) option but i don't know how to manage it .

Any idea ?

The "old style" approach before desks had MOD functionality is to have a "mark" cue (usually a point-5 cue number) between existing cues, to reposition the fixture. For MOD to work on ZerOS, the fixture needs to have a programmed intensity=0 in a cue in which the move will happen.

Sorry, i was wrong, nothing to do with the "MOD" option. I've read the page 75 of the manual and i understand now what it means .

I just want to have a full black between cues, i don't want the intensity to raise, i want CUE1(position, effect, intensity level x) then BLACK before CUE2(position,effect,intensity level x).

I just want to see my moving heads moving from CUE1 to CUE2 in dark an then... FULL CUE2

Is it possible, or do i need to record cues with the intensity appart ?

Hello,

This would be something the fixture would have to manage. Some fixtures have the ability to be told to be dark whilst moving. I believe most Robin fixtures have this functionality, you would have to check in their Function/Control parameter.

If they don't, then you will have to insert a cue between 1 and 2 with the fixture off, that allows for Move On Dark to prep them for you. You can then automate cue 2 if you wish, so that it automatically follows on once they are in position.

Hope this helps, if you have any queries let me know.
