landond Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Sorry for the noob question here but I did a quick search and could not get an easy answer.I have a scheduled show (5 songs) that is set to play from 5:30-10:00 in the schedule editor.My questions is, What happens at 10:00 when the scheduled time is up? Does it just shut down immediately? Maybe finish the sequence it is currently playing?I have a closing sequence set to start at 10:00:01 and wonder who that might be affected.Any input is appreciated. Merry Christmas!

DownTown Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 At 10:00, it will finish the currently playing song, and then run the shutdown sequences (if you have any set up within the show). You might want to include your "closing sequences" in the shutdown sequence for easier scheduling.D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landond Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks D.T.So just to be clear ?....1) The startup Sequence will only play at the start of the schedule (5:30)2) The sequences in the Musical section will loop until the schedule end (10:00) at which point it will finish the current sequence3) The shutdown sequence will play when the final sequence above in completeThanks Much!DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLYou got it. That is the exact way it should work (baring any unforseen problems). Of course that is why we run a test performance to make sure it is all good, right?Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landond Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Perfect!This brings up another question. Is there a way to run the schedule without turning the lights on and maybe just watching the show on the visualizer?Just a thought.Thanks again!DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now wait for the show to start.I would imagine you really wouldn't set there the whole time and watch your complete show. You could come back to your computer from time to time and see what is happening. You can also left click on the LOR light bulb in the system tray and it will bring up a "Light-O-Rama Status" window. Here it will show you a list of what LOR is/has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landond Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Again Awesome answer. Leaving the 485 adapter plugged in is the key. I tried just unplugging at the controller but hat of course was a no go.Thanks!DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
