7. THEATRICAL CROSS FADE
7.1 OVERVIEW
When you set the Mode to “Memory”, the Theatrical Memories can be played back
sequentially. The X-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 Stage is the active part of the playback: its contents are sent straight to the output of the
desk. The Preset contains the lighting state that will be used in the next crossfade.
7.1.1 MODE SELECTION
By default or after a complete reset the DOMINO will be in Wide Mode.
Tapping on the Mode button will be a switch between Memory and Wide Mode.
Holding the Mode button will be a switch between Memory/Wide Mode and A/B Mode.
7.2 ASSIGNING THE X-FADE
To playback the theatrical memory list, it must be copied into the x-fade. Press [copy],
[Preset] or [Stage].
Pressing stage will put the first available theatrical memory into stage and the second
available into preset.
Pressing preset will empty the stage and will put the first available theatrical memory into
preset.
7.2.1 CHANGING THE ASSIGNED MEMORY IN THE PRESET
To change the theatrical memory of the preset (always first theatrical memory assigned)
HOLD [PRESET] and turn wheel to change the memory.
7.3 X-FADE VIDEO
To see a comprehensive display of the status of the X-Fade on the optional video output,
HOLD [function], tap [f/a] (video 3).
7.4 X-FADE MODES
The X-fade can be set to operate in one of two ways, depending upon the status of the [Seq]
button.
7.4.1 NON-SEQUENTIAL
In non-sequential mode, the playback will repeatedly fade between the two states that are
loaded in the Stage and Preset. If one is empty, the fade will alternate between one lighting
state and a blackout.
The LED in the [Seq] button is off when in non-sequential mode, and “MAN” is shown on the
x-fade monitor display.
7.4.2 SEQUENTIAL
Most theatrical shows which are strictly rehearsed will require sequential playback of
theatrical memory, either manually or automatically. When sequential mode is selected, the
theatrical memory are played back in numerically sequential order, including any “point-
memories” numbers (such as memory 27.5).
