Figure 88 - Submaster Setup Window
To display the Submaster Setup Window on the monitor and change the
MFKs to display the submaster setup options – hold down the SETUP key
and press the corresponding SUBMASTER FLASH key.
The actual options presented are dependent on the submaster selected.
Use the MFKs or options in the popup window on the monitor to select the
fields to edit and adjust the options or values as required.
Flash Button Action
Select the [Flash Button Action] option, then select the required action (Flash,
Solo, Latch, Go or Off).
LTP Trigger Level
Select the [LTP Trigger Level] option, then enter the required level using the
MFKs or external keyboard. The LTP trigger level is the point at which the
fade starts for LTP parameters (moving light attributes).
Release
Release defines what happens when you lower the submaster – normally
when the intensity reaches 0%, the attributes controlled by that submaster are
released. Changing this option to No makes these attributes stay in control
until the submaster is released through another method.
Page Lock
Page Lock allows you to force a submaster to appear on all pages. This is
ideal for locking your houselights onto a fader regardless of what else is on
the other pages. Once set to Yes, the submaster with Page Lock enabled on
will always be dedicated to that submaster, and changing the page will not
affect that fader.
Submaster Controls … (Fade CBPE)
This option in the Submaster Setup Window changes the operation of the
submaster fader when outputting data. The colour, beamshape, position and
effects parameters in the programmed data may be set to be controlled by the
position of the submaster fader rather than being triggered at the trigger point
and then fading in the corresponding fade time.
Select the [Submaster Controls …] option. A popup window is displayed.
Each of the attribute keys [Colour], [Beamshape] etc. is independent and
when pressed toggles between selected and not selected. The LED in the key
is lit and the text in the LCD above the key is displayed in inverse video when
the attribute is selected.

Notes – Submaster Controls … (Fade CBPE) Operation
In the Submaster Controls Window, each attribute may be selected or
deselected by the user as required. The default state is defined in Desk
Setup – Submaster Defaults.
Moving the submaster fader up will crossfade the attribute types which
are selected relative to the submaster position, instead of using the
trigger point and corresponding attribute fade time. Note that any
Intensity channels which are programmed into the submaster data will
always be controlled by the level of the submaster fader.
Therefore, if you program a submaster with colour, beamshape and
position data, but set the Submaster Controls… to Position and Colour,
the following will happen.
