Outputting a Scene
Set the required output levels on the PRESET A faders, then move the A
MASTER fader to full or set the required output levels on the PRESET B
faders, then move the B MASTER fader to full.
Manual Fading Between Scenes
The Crossfade Time should be set to 0.0 on Special Page 1.
Set the A MASTER fader to full, and the B MASTER fader to zero. Set up a
scene using the PRESET A faders. You will see this scene on stage. Set up
a different scene on the PRESET B faders. You will not see this scene on
stage yet.
To crossfade to the scene on PRESET B, simultaneously move the A
MASTER fader to zero and the B MASTER fader to full. Note that the B
MASTER fader is inverted, so this action is from top to bottom on both faders.
As the master faders are moved in tandem the scene on PRESET B will fade
in and the scene on PRESET A fade out.
To return to the scene on PRESET A, simultaneously move the A MASTER
fader to full and the B MASTER fader to zero. As the master faders are
moved the scene on PRESET B will fade out and the scene on PRESET A
fade in.
In both cases above, the crossfade will be truely dipless and the speed of the
crossfade will be determined by the speed of movement of the A and B
MASTER faders.
Timed Fading Between Scenes
Set the Time to the required fade time, using Special Page 1 TIME button.
Set the A MASTER to full, and the B MASTER to zero. Set up a scene using
the PRESET A faders. Set up a different scene on the PRESET B faders. To
initiate the timed crossfade, quickly move the A MASTER to zero and the B
MASTER to full.
The output will crossfade from Scene A to Scene B in the Crossfade Time
(providing the time taken to move the master faders was less than the
indicated time).
To return to scene A, quickly move the A MASTER to full and the B MASTER
to zero. The output will crossfade from Scene B to Scene A in the Crossfade
Time (providing the time taken to move the master faders was less than the
indicated time).
In each of the cases above the timed crossfades will be dipless. If the A or B
MASTER faders are only moved a proportion of their full travel, then the time
taken to achieve the final output state will be the same proportion of the
internal Time.
Flashing Channels
The Flash Mode must be set to FLASH using the FLASH MODE key on
Special Page 1.
The CHANNEL FLASH buttons below the PRESET A or PRESET B faders
can then used to flash individual channels to the level set on the GRAND
MASTER fader. When a channel is flashed, the LED will in the flash button
will be lit to indicate the flash in progress.
Soloing Channels
The Flash Mode must be set to SOLO using the FLASH MODE key on
Special Page 1.
The CHANNEL FLASH buttons below the PRESET A or PRESET B faders
are then used to solo individual channels to the level set on the GRAND
MASTER fader.
When a channel is soloed, all other dimmer channels and fixture brightness
channels are reduced to zero, while the CHANNEL FLASH button is being
held down. When a channel is being soloed, the LED will be lit in the flash
button to indicate the solo in progress.
Latching Channels
The Flash Mode must be set to LATCH using the FLASH MODE key on
Special Page 1.
