Hardware Setup - Grandmaster and Dead Blackout Button
The Grandmaster and Dead Blackout are used to control intensity channel of your
rig. Channels that are affected by the Grandmaster will be displayed with a red hat,
a hollow pipe and a broken arrow:
Grandmaster Mode
Disabled
Select Disabled if you don't want the slider of the Grandmaster to have any affect. This
may be set as a safety measure on shows that are strictly run from the Go button.
All Channels
If you select All Channels, any type of Channel, conventional or automated, will be
affected when you pull down the grandmaster slider.
Conventional Channels
Conventional Channels are defined as Channels that only have one attribute and that
attribute is intensity (i.e., dimmers).
Moving Lights
Channels included in the Moving Light category are Channels with more than one
attribute where one of the attributes is an intensity channel.
Include Captured
DBO
If this checkbox is on, any Channel that has its intensity attribute captured will be
affected when the grandmaster slider is pulled down.
The Dead Black out has multiple functions. Whenever it is enabled, it is like pulling the
grandmaster slider down to 0% in zero time. There are macros that allow you to control
this feature programmatically.
Disabled
Select this option if you don't want to accidentally plunge your stage into darkness by
pressing the DBO button.
