Submasters
can not be stolen by the Channel Control, but the Channel Control can increase the channel intensity
over the submaster level. Once you decrease the channel level to below the submaster level, the
submaster level will take over again.
EXCLUSIVE (Exclusive submaster)
Submaster intensities are as recorded in the submaster and modified by the submaster fader, the
Submaster Supermaster, and the grand master. They are not changed when cues or effects run, when
other submasters are changed, or when channel control is used on the same channels. If the same
channel is used in two exclusive submasters, the last submaster to move off zero steals that channel.
INHIBIT (Inhibitive submaster)
Acting like a grandmaster fader, the submaster fader masters all output channels that have any
intensity recorded in the submaster. Channels with only attributes recorded in the submaster are
ignored. Channels under control of an inhibitive submaster appear on the Levels screen with yellow
text on a red background if they have a level, or as a red block with no text when they are at zero. You
can use the Channel Control to bring channel levels up to the current level of the submaster. Multiple
inhibitive submasters which control the same output channels are combined on a lowest takes
precedence basis.
S/LIGHT (Sound To Light Submaster) - 500 Series Consoles only
Submaster intensities are combined with effects, playbacks, and other submasters on a highest takes
precedence basis. Attributes are combined on a latest takes precedence basis. The local submaster
controls the maximum level of sound to light, and the external Audio Input controls the level of the
submaster up to that maximum. Submaster channels can be stolen by the Channel Control. This
facility is only available with the CommuniquéPro software. For more information see CommuniquéPro
Software. Only one submaster can be a Sound To Light Submaster.
DMX CHAN (DMX Channel Submaster)
The DMX input signals become levels for channels 1-512 in the submaster, and are combined with
effects, playbacks, and other submasters on a highest takes precedence basis. The local submaster
controls the level of the DMX input. Recorded submaster levels are ignored. Submaster channels can
be stolen by the Channel Control. This facility is only available with the CommuniquéPro software. For
more information see CommuniquéPro Software. Only one submaster can be a DMX Channel
Submaster.
DMX DIMR (DMX Dimmer Submaster)
The local submaster controls the level of the DMX input, and thus the levels of any dimmers patched to
DMX inputs. Recorded submaster levels are ignored. Only one submaster can be a DMX Dimmer
Submaster. This facility is only available with the CommuniquéPro software. For more information see
CommuniquéPro Software. Only one submaster can be a DMX Dimmer Submaster.
SUB SUPER (Submaster Supermaster)
The submaster fader controls the level of all submasters. Channels are controlled by individual
submasters, which are in turn controlled by the Submaster Supermaster. Only one submaster can be
the Submaster Supermaster. If no submasters are assigned as the Submaster Supermaster, all
