Screen Layout
Playback Bubbles
The area in the bottom left hand side of the main screen is reserved to give you
status of the first two cue lists in your show.
Disabled
The top smaller bubble tells you what cue list the cues are fading on. The first line of
text (in this case "4 - floor two" on A/B) shows the current cue that you are either
sitting in or fading to. The lower text in gray shows the pending cue. The colored
bars that are in between the text that move from left to right as cue are running are
described below.
Depending on how the hardware is setup, the displays are subtly different. Each
hardware configuration is described below. (Also see help topic Hardware Setup -
A/B C/D)
The handles don't do anything; only the [GO] and [HALT/BACK] buttons work. When
a Cue has equivalent Up and Down times, mid fade the display may look like this:
If there is a split fade time, the progress of the Up time through the fades is
represented by the thicker yellow bar, whereas the Down fade is represented by the
thinner black bar:
When the cue is complete, both bars will be all the way across the display:
Playback Master and Manual Crossfader
The top yellow bar indicates the position of the left-hand fader which is the Playback
Master. The higher the level, the more right the bar moves and the brighter the
yellow bar gets. The bottom blue bar shows the progress of the cue if it is manually
crossfaded by pulling the right-hand fader. The blue bar starts on the left and is very
dark. It progressively gets brighter blue as it travels from left to right.
If you execute a cue that has identical Up and Down times using [GO], the fade will
appear like this:
If you press [GO] on a cue that has split fade times, the progress of the Up time
through the fades is represented by the thicker yellow bar, whereas the Down fade
is represented by the thinner black bar:
When the cue completes, the display will revert to this:
