To enter the Hold keyword in the command line, use one of the options:

  • Press  MA + 0
  • Type Hold
  • Type the shortcut Ho

Description

The Hold keyword is a special value that prevents an MIB action while the dimmer is closed. Hold can only be applied to a dimmer attribute and is equivalent to a value of 0. 

To prevent all fixtures (for example, scrollers) from performing an MIB action in the same cue, Hold can be used to distribute the movement across multiple cues.

To expressly perform a movement between two cues using an open dimmer, Hold can be used to enhance individual fixtures.

Syntax

(At) Hold

Example

  • To set the selected fixtures to the value Hold, type:
User name[Fixture]>Hold
