Common Features
Title Bar
During initialisation (for about 15 secs) the applications available on the console are flashed on the title
bar at the top of each screen. After initialisation, the title bar shows the 'Current Time and Date', the
current 'Show Name' and the setting of the 'Grandmaster Fader(s)'. The date and time can be set in
the Console Window of the Show Setup Screen. The show name is preceded with an asterisk if
changes have been made to the show since it was last saved.
On consoles without fixed submaster faders, you have the option of setting any one (300 Series
consoles) or two (520 Consoles) submasters as grandmaster 1(GM1) or grandmaster 2 (GM2). If no
submasters are set as grandmasters, the software automatically set the grandmaster level to full (FL)
Memory and Console Locked Indicator
When the memory has been locked Memory Locked is shown on a red background on the screen
header. In order to avoid accidental changes to a show, you can lock the console faders and keys. The
right LCD shows Locked in the upper right corner when the console keys and faders are locked, The
Live Display also shows Console Locked with a red background at the top of the screen when the
console keys and faders are locked. When a show has been recorded, the memory can be locked to
ensure that accidental changes cannot be made. For further information, refer to Locking the Console
Faders and Keys and Locking the Console Memory
Save Indicator
Show data is held on the system internal hard disk (the local disk). When recording or updating cues,
effect steps, submasters, etc., data is automatically saved to the local disk. The / symbol between
grandmaster levels changes to a flashing magenta box to indicate that automatic saving is taking place.
Locking the Console Faders and Keys
In order to avoid accidental changes to a show, you can lock the console faders and keys. The right
LCD shows LOCKED in the upper right corner when the console keys and faders are locked, or when
memory is locked (see below)
The display also shows CONSOLE LOCKED in yellow with a red background on the title bar on the top
of all screens when the console keys and faders are locked or when the console and memory are
locked.
