Scheduling Shows

[Guest guest]

When you add a show to the schedule, will it just keep repeating during the specified times? For example, I have a show file that contains two sequences in the animation tab. I would like these two sequences to just keep repeating between 6pm and 10pm each evening. Will a show complete if the end time is reached before the show is finished?

Yes, to both questions. It will repeat continuously until the end of the time is reached and will completely finish before the lights go off.

Thanks! Just trying to get everything ready to hook up to the controller when it comes.

Just want to clarify another answer you were given.

The LOR software will finish the current SEQUENCE playing at the end of the show time. If, for example, you had 8 sequences in your animation (or musical) tab, and LOR was playing the 3rd on one the list at the end of the night ... that sequence would finish, then the show would be over.

I'm 90% that it would then run any cleanup and closing sequences that you have in place.

Just to clarify further:

1) A show will repeat for the scheduled time.

2) As Don said, when the show's time expires, any musical SEQUENCE playing will be given time to finish. If you do animation only (no music) this doesn't apply. Any remaining sequences in the show (other than shutdown, etc) WILL NOT play the final time.

3) The shutdown sequence(s) will then play, and the show is over.
