Timeline Control allows you to trigger and control any Timeline from within DMX.
So it allows to merge using the timeline, but triggering when what timeline is playing conveniently from a lighting console.
In the timeline list in the User Interface you need to set the ID for each timeline as this will be referenced by the first DMX channel. Channel 2 triggers the action on this particular timeline.
Please note that a command will only be triggered if a DMX value changes.
For example timeline 1->Play (DMX values 1, 10) will trigger a play command the first time this is issued.
If the timeline runs into a stop command and you wish to play again simple sending 1->Play won’t do anything as the values have not changed.
you need to insert a “nothing” cue in between (values 1, 0) before issued 1_Play again (1,10).
