Sony Swr. - Ver 7.12 - Macro "set" and "run" trigger

Hi,
I currently use to trigger the DDR's using P-Bus, a Macro to "set" and another Macro to "run" the transition.
Is there a way to eliminate the "set" and just use the "run" to trigger the transition? I currently go from one transition to a totally different transition (back to back) and it is becoming "a pain" to hit the "set" before the new transition.
Thanks all for your help.

[quote="The Kid"]Hi Bill, Thank you for the advice. We use Doremi @ work. I did a rough test and the PAUSE used was 15 frames. It worked fine, so now I can go in and out with different DDR transitions on a one button push. I will now try less frames and see what happens. (I think 15 frames will be the minimum). Thanks again for your help.[/quote] Are you just using timecode? have you tried talking VDCP to call up clips? I use Doremi HD machines as well just use timecode, so have to manually call up the clip before our show, little annoying. I think I have gotten it down to like 6 frames and still keeping F/K ganged ok. Gang is in the switcher. Let me know if you have had any luck calling up clips

Still 2 button presses What DDR are you using? If you are looking for a 1 button cue and run, depending on the DDR you will need to add in a delay, maybe 7-60 frames depending on the DDR, before the run command. If it is clip based it might be tough, if it is just timecode like a FFV, you might get away with a lower delay.
