GeniusPro/Lightpalette Operator's Manual - Strand Lighting

510i Show Controller
User Interface
The front panel controls of the 510i provide the minimum user interface required to operate all the
GeniusPro, Lightpallette, CommuniquéPro and Networker playback functions. Access to the full
software functionality (in particular, show set-up, editing and saving) is only possible using an external
keyboard and video display or a remote control unit.
The 310 Show Controller incorporates a touch screen LCD display, incorporating the keys on the 510i
in the form of on-sceen touch softkeys.
The 510i LCD display on the front panel, provides all the displays and associated softkeys necessary
to control the playback functions of the system. The Macro display is shown at startup., however, the
operator can select other menus using the [DISPLAY] key (or DISPLAY touch key on the 310) to cycle
through the various menus as follows:
MACRO, SUBS, BROWSE, EVENT, PLAYBACK, BACKUP, SETUP and back to MACRO, etc.
Entry to the displayed Macro LCD menu is achieved using the key combination [SHIFT][DISPLAY].
Note: The SHIFT touch key on the 310 is set to toggle between On and Off. It is therefore not
necessary to hold down the SHIFT key when selectingg 'Shift' function. However it is necessary to
press the SHIFT key again to deselect the function.
A [STOP SHOW] pushbutton (Red button on the 310) is provided to enable the operator to stop the
pre-programmed lighting show and apply a pre-defined safe lighting condition. On the 510i, this panel
button is protected from accidental operation by a hinged cover. On both the 510i and 310, the
illuminated button will flash when selected. The operation of the button is mapped to macro 997 as well
as the 500 Series console STOP key function.. The LED in the [STOP SHOW] button will flash if any
Stop key mode is selected, e.g., ‘ BLACKOUT’ , ‘ STOP ATTS’ or ‘ ST ATTS+BO’ .
During playback, the operator can prevent any unauthorised use of the panel pushbuttons (except
[STOP SHOW]) by means of a [DISABLE KEYS] keyswitch with removable key. When locked, the
condition is displayed on the panel LCD, the keyswitch LED (510i only) is illuminated and the LCD
dims.
Fourteen panel buttons, when operated with or without the [SHIFT] key depressed, will apply one of 28
pre-set macro conditions, [P1-P14], or [SHIFT] [P1-P14]. These macros can be triggered directly
using the panel buttons, or from the Macro Display LCD. The [USER] key is mapped to macro 998.
The [CLR] key clears the last command.
Note: The P1 to P14 (SP1 to SP14) keys, together with the SHIFT and DISPLAY keys are shown on
all screens of the 310 Show Controller. Where text labels are assigned by the user to the P (or S) keys,
the text labels are shown in place of the P or S number on all displays of the 310.
