If I power off my 18R2 Controller while the script is running, will it remember its place once powered back on?

 

If the 18R2 Controller powers off during a script, the modules will continue for up to 60 seconds, depending on firmware, before stopping.

Upon powering back on, the 18R2 does not resume the script. To continue, restart the script and press the STEP button to advance past already executed events, or use the Jump To feature in the COBRA Control Panel app on an Android Tablet.

If your script includes music, the behavior varies by equipment and firmware. With an Audio Box on version 3.0.3 or lower, audio stops about 10 seconds after losing contact with the 18R2. In newer versions, audio continues. If using SMPTE, music plays on, and you can pause it using your audio device's controls. When restarting the script with the Audio Box, music will restart from the beginning, and you can fast forward to catch up.
