fixture but the level remains off until the channel level reaches a predetermined
threshold over which it goes to Full.
An intensity channel level which is at 0% and is not 'On At 0'. This is displayed

An intensity channel level which is either above 0% or 'On At 0'. This is
displayed as 0 to 99 or FL (Full). The opposite to on is off.
An intensity channel level which is at 0% but is treated as being on rather than
off. This is displayed as 0. This does not apply to attribute channels.
A special group containing channel levels which, if present, are used instead of
the value in the On Level field in the User Setup display to set intensity and
attribute values when you use [ON].
A level which can be set to any value and which can then be used to set channel
levels by using the [ON] key
A level that can be output from the console to control external devices such as
dimmers and automated fixtures.
A recorded lighting state used as part of a cue. All parts start when the overall cue
is started. Parts 2 to 12 in a multi-part cue are always Move Fade (GeniusPro) or
Tracking Cues (Lightpalette).
A special group containing “flag” channels (values can only be Off or FL) used to
determine which channels can be recorded or are controllable via Channel
Control. This can be very useful in multi-console systems. The group is only used
when the Channel Partitioning field in the Show Setup display is ON.
Specifies the channel which controls each output. Each output can only be
patched to one channel but a single channel can be patched to more than one
output. The patch also sets up the type of channel (intensity, attribute etc.) and the
channel scaling. See also Channel Scaling
A special group containing channel levels which, if present, are used to set the
preheat level when a channel is auto-preheated. The group is only used when the
Auto Preheat field in the Show Setup display is ON.
See Cue.
Preset Focus allows individual channels or attributes in Cues, Effects and
Submasters to be recorded as links to the same intensity or attribute in one of 750
groups (Groups 1..750).
