Screen Layout
Status Bubbles
At the bottom of the screen there are eight pink 'Status Bubbles'. These bubbles tell
you about different states or modes the console is in and other general information.
Tool
Fader
The Tool bubble shows what Tool is currently active or which tool will be active if
you press the [TOOLS] button (QWERTY equivalent [T] button). When you first
start your session, this bubble will display [---] because no Tool has been selected
yet. Hold the [TOOLS] button and select the tool using the softkeys. When a tool is
active, the bubble will be red and the LED on the Tools button on the console will
illuminate.
The Fader bubble will tell you which fader has been moved last, what it was
assigned to and what its current level is. This is useful to set up the 'blind' side of a
two-scene scene from notes without having to Display|Sub Masters.
Note:
• Movements of the Grandmaster and Playback Master faders are not
displayed here. See GM below or the topics Playback Bubbles and
Uber Status.
Fading
Palette is capable of an unlimited number of Fades (or cues running). These fades
may be initiated from a single cue list running overlapping fades, complex parts,
independent attribute timing or cues running from multiple cue lists. It's handy to
know how many fades are currently running so you can report to stage management
that things are still going on.
Saved
After you save the current show, this bubble marks the time at which you did that. A
timer also shows you how long it has been since you last saved. The Uber Status
marks a horizontal line where the save occurred. If checkpoint files or mirrored
saving is enabled, their success or failure is also noted in the Uber Status box. [S8]
Save Show is directly above this bubble when the default softkeys are displayed.
Time
The Time of Day and date is displayed in this bubble. You can set the date and time
of your console through the Control Panel.
