7. Special Functions
The UTILITY/SETUP menus of the Lightcommander offer various spe-
cial functions and setup facilities.
7.1 Single Channel Setups
7.1.1 Doubling the Channel Number (WIDE Function)
One of the most interesting features of software version 2.X is the possibi-
lity to double the number of channels. This way the Lightcommander II 24/
6 offers 24+24+6=54 channels (LC II 48/6: 48+48+6=102). All functions
work as usually, only on using the preset section there are some little
changes.
Switching on the WIDE function:
Fourth display button on the Top Menu
First display button to select the functions
CLOCK - WIDE - SPECIALS - THEATRESEQ.
Selecting WIDE (now displayed on black
background) modifies the operation mode:
Single channel faders
The faders of preset 2 still control the same channels, while the faders of
preset 1 work as an extension of preset 2 and control a second set of
channels.
Preset master brightness
The overall brightness of the adjustment on all preset faders is mastered
by the preset 2 master fader only.
Single channel flash buttons and LED´s:
As there is only one set of buttons and LED´s, only half of the channels
are indicated and possible to access by button at time. The preset 1
master after toggles the buttons between the two sets of channels.
Preset 1 master above 50 %: The buttons indicate and control the upper
channels.
Preset 1 master below 50 %: The buttons indicate and control the lower
set of channels. A double arrow on the right edge of the display shows the
actually selected orientation of the buttons.
Channel value listing during PREVIEW and LIMIT:
The Lightcommander 24/6 shows the second set of channels as channel
number 25 to 48.
The Lightcommander 48/6 shows, depending on the preset 1 master
setting, only the upper or the lower set of channels on display.
Graphics (like on PREVIEW ON/OFF step, SWOP DISABLE or CURVE)
show the complete set of channels.
Internally the WIDE function is always working. Memories or programs, set
up under the wide function, will control the extended channel range even if
the WIDE function was switched off later on.
