8. SUBMASTERS
8.1 OVERVIEW
DOMINO’s bank B contains 12 (24) submasters which are organised in 9 pages; giving a
total of 108 (216) Submasters. All Bank B’s are available by pressing the [Bank B] button.
Submaster memories, chasers, outputs or cue lists can be recorded in any Submaster.
8.2 BANK B SUBMASTERS
Access is via the Bank B 12 (24) f/a buttons in conjunction with the [Bank B] number. You
determine what each bank B contains when you record (or copy). Each submaster can only
be used to hold one object. For example, if a submaster has been used for a submaster
memory, a chaser or cue list recorded in the same location would overwrite the submaster.
To see the type of object recorded in each submaster; HOLD [ bank B].
A window pops up on the optional video showing submaster usage and the submaster
flash/assign buttons indicate their contents as follows;
Submaster Contents submaster f/a LED
Submaster memory On steady
Chaser Fast Flash
Cue list Slow Flash
Empty Off
When you press [edit], [assign copy] or any [record] button, all Submaster f/a buttons flash
twice (to indicate that they are possible choices), then they show their contents as above.
If you change the Bank B page whilst in “edit”, “assign copy” or “record” modes, the contents
of the selected page is also shown.
8.2.1 PLAYBACK BANK B SUBMASTERS
Changing to memory mode or when bank B is paged whilst in memory mode, the contents of
the indicated Bank B are COPIED into the Bank B.
Cue lists occupy submaster locations on the Bank B. To playback a Cue list it must be
individually COPIED from Bank B into the Cue list master or into the Theatrical Playback.
8.2.2 MODE/BANK B FREEZE
A “MODE/BANK B FREEZE” feature prevents the contents of a “live” fader from being
changed if its level is above 5% when a mode or Bank B is changed. The current contents of
any live fader is held until such time as that fader is faded down below 5% when it will be
automatically updated with its pending assignment for the new mode or Bank B. This
prevents memories, chasers or channels “crashing in” on stage if their fader is contributing to
the output when a different mode or Bank B is selected.
Whenever there is a pending memory chaser or channel change due to a 'Mode or Bank B
freeze', the “LED” indicator in the “mode” button will flash. This acts as a warning to you that
the contents of on a submaster may change after it is faded down. The optional video screen
also shows the current bank B number loaded on each submaster.
