USB MODE
21
A trigger plays one or more shows and enables you to specify
show playback behaviors such as repeat, jump to another show,
or snap transition.
Triggers are required for show playback on the iPlayer 3. You
can link a show either:
• To one of five buttons on the iPlayer 3. (You manually start
the show by pressing the corresponding button.)
• To buttons on a Controller Keypad or to contact switches
connected to an AuxBox that is connected to one of the
serial ports.
See:
• Preset Shows on page 23
• Trigger Number Message on page 24
• Assigning a Trigger to a Preconfigured, “Canned” Show on
page 30
• Assigning a Trigger to a Show Downloaded from ColorPlay 3

Downloading Show Files From ColorPlay 3
1. Initiate USB Mode (see Connecting and Setting Up the
iPlayer 3 on page 14).
2. In the ColorPlay 3 configuration layer, click the
SHOW FILES TAB
and then select one or more show files.
3. Click the
COPY SELECTED SHOWS TO CONTROLLER
arrow button to
begin downloading.
Once fully downloaded, show files appear in the right column
of the file manager with a *.SHO file extension.
Alternatively, you can download a show using an SD card
reader, which may be more time-efficient. See Formatting an SD
Memory Card for Use in the iPlayer 3 on page 43 for more
information.
