Programming and Viewing Channels
Select Softkeys
The [S10] button on the main Softkey menu is Select. Pressing this button changes
the softkeys to the following:
[S1] - If you want to select any Channels that is on, choose Levels > 0%.
[S2] - Often, you may run a cue and notice the lights that came on had something
wrong with them (i.e. wrong gobo or too bright etc.). To select these Channels,
choose Levels Going Up.
[S3] - Similar to Levels Going Up, you may want to select Channels with Levels
Going Down (maybe to adjust their Independent Timing)
[S4] - Selecting Channels that currently have Captured Attributes is an easy way
to grab everything you're currently working with.
[S5] - Use Select Attributes if you want to capture the Live values of a Channel that
is currently being played back by either Cues or Looks. This is often handy if you
are doing 'surgery' on cues. Start by first selecting the Channels and then press
Select Attributes to open the dialog box:
Note:
The Effects check box is disabled as Effects are owned by the cues, not the
selected Channels.
Check off the Attribute Families that you want to capture and select OK. The
selected Channels' attribute families will become captured at their current levels and
they will be marked with a delta symbol, ready to be recorded. (Also check out the
Record Options called Cue List State and All Levels (Block Cue). Sometimes
those options may be more appropriate if you want to address all Channels in the
cue on-mass.)
[S6] - When discussing automated lighting looks, you often refer to Channels by the
state they are currently in. It would not be odd to hear: "Take all the blue dot gobos
and make them stars." Using Select Using Palettes is the easiest way to select and
alter these Channels. The syntax is: [SELECT] [USING PALETTE] [BLUE] which
will select the blue Channels, then you would apply the [STARS] palette. Pressing
Select Using Palettes opens a dialog box:
