When any of the above settings are used, ShowMagic will check for a change in the condition of
the trigger then act on that change, if appropriate, at the time of the change. The next four settings
differ from the above in as much as the ‘current condition’ of a trigger input is checked constantly:
CC On - Checks whether the trigger is currently on, and if so, runs the action button.
CC Off - Checks whether the trigger is currently off, and if so, runs the action button.
CC On/Ex - Checks whether the trigger is currently on, and if it is the event is run and will not be
turned off until it is finished in the same way as the On/Ex setting.
CC Off/Ex - Checks whether the trigger is currently off, and if it is the event is run and will not be
turned off until it is finished in the same way as the On/Ex setting.
Triggering Action Buttons
Besides running and stopping events assigned to action buttons by double-clicking on the action
button, clicking on the Go button (or pressing [Spacebar]), running the action button in a schedule
etc., they can also be triggered in the following ways (as described later in this section):
a) When ShowMagic receives selected notes or program change commands from the MIDI
port, e.g. using a MIDI keyboard or MIDI sequencer etc. Within this section we will assume
that you have a MIDI keyboard connected to a PC MIDI port.
b) When a wireless 'Media Player' remote controller is used.
c) When ShowMagic receives command strings via RS232 or a script has been loaded for a
data acquisition ‘input’ device, as described in "Configure Comm Devices", p.24.
d) When ShowMagic receives command strings from an IP outstation (EXPERIMENTAL) – see
"Configure Outstations", p. 27.
e) When specified DMX input values are received, from a lighting desk for instance when
using a DMX interface / card with DMX input capability.
If any action buttons are triggered, by any means, the fade In and Out times set for that event will be
used.
The various action button triggering options are as follows:
