Programming and Viewing Channels
Release
Releasing a Channel means to return it to normal control after Selecting and
working with it. To release Channels, press [REL] or [ESC] on the QWERTY
keyboard. You can also use the Release button
on the Channel Grid Tool Bar
Note:
If you have selected Last Action Editing from the Hardware Setup none of
this apply. Please read the topics in the Console section of Hardware Setup.
For simplicity, describing how release works is done two different ways.
Conventional Lights use a two-stage release, whereas mixed selections including
Moving Lights use a multi-stage release.
Conventional Lights
• 1 st press releases the Selected Channel(s)
• Next press releases all Captured Channels
• Press [SHIFT] [REL] to undo these actions (in two stage)
Selections including Moving Lights
• 1 st press releases the last Changed attribute
• Next press releases the entire attribute family (if the first press did not release the
entire attribute family)
• Next press releases the selected Channel(s) (including all of its Captured Attributes)
• Final press releases all other Captured Channels and their attributes
• Press [SHIFT] [REL] to undo these actions (in all stage)
Sneak - Release in Time
Regardless if a Channel is a moving light or a conventional dimmer, if you want to
release it or a selection of Channels in time (or sneak it back to cue level) use the
syntax [1] [SHIFT+REL] [5] [ENTER]. This appears on the command line like this:
Note:
o
o
This syntax will release the Channel(s) and all of its attributes.
You can setup your A/B or C/D fader pairs to control the amount of time
(from 0 to 10 seconds) that attributes fade to their captured levels and
release. This is very handy if you have pre-programmed a large number
of looks (or palettes) and want to play them back live.
