Screen Layout
If you are sitting in a cue, and pull down the left fader which is the Playback Master,
channel levels in the Channel Grid will have broken arrows, hollow pipes and red
hats:
... and the yellow bar in the playback bubble will fade as it tracks the position of the
fader handle:
Note:
• If you press [HALT] while a cue is in progress, you can manually
complete the cue by pulling the handle.
• You can reverse the direction of the current fade at any time before
the handle reaches its end-point destination.
• If you start a cue by pressing [GO], then, while the cue is in progress,
you move the handle, that is equivalent to pressing [HALT] then
manually completing the cue by pulling the handle.
• If you move the handle to Halt a cue, but then decide you want the
cue to complete in cue-time, you can simply press [GO]. You will
have to park the handle at one end or another to make it active again.
• If you Halt a cue for any reason and choose to complete it using the
handle, all times will be re-scaled to the distance the handle has to
travel, with the greatest time in the cue being measured from top to
bottom and all others scaled to that. Wait times will be scaled too.
• It does not matter if the handle is at the top or bottom when you start
to use it. As long as it is at one end, it will function as a manual
crossfader, moving you forward through the cue list.
• If you want to manually crossfade backwards through the cue list,
hold down [SHIFT] while pulling the handle. You will notice that the
pending cue in gray at the bottom of the bubble will have a lower
number than the current cue in black text up top:
Split Crossfader
When the faders are setup up as Split Crossfaders, the Left handle can manually
control the progress of intensity attributes that are moving up (as well as all other
moving light attributes) whereas the Right handle manually controls the progress of
any Channels who's intensity are going down in the next cue. At any time you can
press [GO] to execute cues, or just move the handles. The position of the Left
handle will be identified by the thick yellow bar and the position of the right handle
marked by the thinner blue line:
If you execute a cue that has identical Up and Down times using [GO], the fade will
appear like this:
