Playback of Memories

The following sections describe how to
play back the programmed memories
in the show using the front panel
controls, remote switches, SMPTE or
MIDI timecodes or network messages
via Chillinet or iCANnet.

Playback - Front Panel

The memories can be output in
ascending numerical order using the
GO/ENTER button, or a particular
memory can be selected and then
output, if required.

1.

Use the up and down arrow keys
to move the flashing cursor (

<>

)

onto the 

Next

 memory field:

Current:    1 s     
Next:      

<2 s>

Fade Up:   <00:03.0> 
Fade Down: <00:03.0> 

2.

Use the + and - keys to select the
first programmed memory in the
show.

3.

Press the GO/ENTER button. The 
outputs fade to the next memory
according to its programmed fade
times and LTP actions. The

Current

 and 

Next

 memories are

incremented automatically.

To output the 

Next

 memory, as

indicated on the Memories
screen, press the GO/ENTER
button again.
This initiates a crossfade to the

Next

 memory. The 

Current

 and

 memories are incremented

automatically.

Playback - Remote Switches

The remote switches socket on the
rear panel allows up to six remote
switches to be connected to the unit.

The remote switches provide a method 
of playing back the current show in the
Frog-Box remotely. 

The remote switches are enabled and
configured in the Desk Setup section of 
Super User - see chapter 4.

The default configuration of the remote 
switches is as follows:

Switch 1

Playback - Frog Screen

The Frog Screen control panel
provides a method of playing back the
current show in the Frog-Box remotely.

The Frog Screen soft buttons are
enabled and configured in the Desk
Setup section of Super User. 
(see chapter 4 for details)

Playback - SMPTE & MIDI

The SMPTE or MIDI input must be
enabled and the input frame rate set in
the Desk Setup section of Super User 
(see chapter 4 for details).

Memories with Timecode triggers will
then be triggered when the incoming
SMPTE or MIDI timecode signal
passes the specified start time.

Memories with Timecode triggers may
also be triggered manually by selecting 
the memory and pressing the
GO/ENTER button on the front panel.

Playback - Chillinet

The Frog Box must be set up to
receive Chillinet messages using the
Set CAN Mode function in Super User 
(see chapter 4 for details).

The appropriate Chillinet messages
can then be used to trigger memory
numbers 0 - 15 inclusive.

Playback - iCANnet

The Frog Box must be set up to
receive iCANnet messages using the
Set CAN Mode function in Super User 
(see chapter 4 for details).

The appropriate iCANnet messages
can then be used to trigger memory
numbers 0 - 128 inclusive.

NOTES

Memories Screen

The Memories screen on the LCD only shows

the programmed memories in the show. 

Selecting Memories

When using the + and - keys to select the

Next memory, any unprogrammed memories

are automatically skipped over.

When the cursor is on the Next field on the

Memories screen, pressing the + and - keys

together will select the first programmed

memory in the show.

Remote Switches

If any of the remote switches are pressed,

and the corresponding switch is not assigned, 

then no action is carried out.

Chillinet Messages

If the memory number specified in a Chillinet 

message is not programmed in the show,

then no action is carried out.

The “All Off” button on a Chilli control panel

will result in Memory Zero being triggered.

Start sequence 1, 2 or 3 messages from a

Chilli control panel will result in memories

13, 14 or 15 being triggered respectively.

iCANnet Messages

If the memory number specified in an

iCANnet message is not  programmed in the

show, then no action is carried out.

Any fade time specified in an iCAN message

is ignored by the Frog Box. Once the memory 

has been triggered by the iCAN message, the 

outputs will fade according to the fade times

and LTP actions programmed in the memory.
