4. CONCEPT OF THE DOMINO
4.1 OVERVIEW
ADB’s DOMINO 24 (48) provides the operator with complete command over a lighting control
system. DOMINO 24 (48) is very easy to use and is highly intuitive.
It is not necessary to understand all of the concepts of the system before it can be used:
creating lighting looks can be controlled straight away by using only the faders. (Manual
DOMINO)
However, DOMINO 24 (48) can be used for any applications;
Theatre => Theatrical cross-fades (Theatrical DOMINO)
Television => Submasters (Live DOMINO)
Live stages: => Playbacks; Chasers and Cue lists (Live DOMINO)
DOMINO 24 (48) can do all this... and more!!!
If moving light control is required DOMINO 48 (96) XT is the optimized desk.
All below described ways of working can be used individually or mixed together.
4.2 MANUAL DOMINO
This way of operating is most useful in unrehearsed situations where the next "look" needs to
be created "on the fly". The channel faders provide instant "hands on" control of any channel
level.
4.3 THEATRICAL DOMINO
Theatrical memories can be recorded in the theatrical memory list, together with in and
out fade time settings - but more importantly, they can be played back sequentially. Using the
theatrical cross-fade makes the DOMINO flexible and structured for stage lighting.
The Cross-fade has two sides: Stage, which is effectively live (seen at the desk Output), and
Preset, which is effectively blind (not seen at the Output).
The theatrical memory list is the ordered list of memories that will run in succession
through the cross-fade. Theatrical memories can be manipulated and edited, allowing times
and links to be created and inserted. After programming many different functions are
triggered by simply pressing the [GO] key or by moving the stage and preset faders.
4.4 LIVE DOMINO
A Submaster memory is a recorded snapshot of the DOMINO output, together with in and
out fade time settings. Submaster Memories are recorded in a submaster; up to 108 (216)
separate submaster memories may be recorded.
Submaster memory fade times may come from the speed rotating fader or may be recorded
in Submaster memory. Individual IN, and OUT fade times may be recorded for every
submaster memory.
A chaser is a recorded list of steps that are to be replayed in order, stepping continuously
from one step to the next and automatically repeating the list when it has reached the end.
