LIGHTING CONTROL CONSOLE INSTALLATION & SETUP GUIDE
Preset Scene Mode
Scene Mode allows you to operate the PALETTE as a common 2-Scene console. This is achieved by setting up two
slider banks, one as Scene A and the other as Scene B, and assigning the A/B fader pair as the A/B Two Scene Master.
If you set a slider bank to be either Scene A, B, C or D, the intensity level of the specified channels will be multiplied
by the level of the appropriate Scene Master (see A/B C/D (X1 - X2) setup below).
Look Master Mode
As mentioned above, the list of available assignments for slider panels includes Chan, Scenes and user assignable
Look Pages. Look Pages are collections of user definable (recordable) Look Masters. If you set up your slider panels
to playback Looks, initially there will be nothing to playback when you run a slider up. You will first have to record
them.
Note: It is optional to setup the A/B C/D faders to utilize the Look Master Mode of the Slider Banks.
If you don't setup up the A/B or C/D faders to control the slider bank Look Masters, they will operate normally (i.e.,
if the slider is at the top, the Look will go to stage at 100% of the recorded level). Optionally, you can setup the A/B
and C/D faders to control the overall intensity of the intensity attributes of the assigned Look Pages.
Note: If you do setup the A/B (or C/D) faders to control Look Pages, understand that each Master will control the
entire page's overall intensity level. For that reason it is not desirable to assign the Top Slider Panel to Main 1-24 and
the Bottom Slider Panel to Main 25-48, AND THEN assume that the A Slider will control the overall intensity of the
Top Panel and B the intensity of the Bottom Panel. This is not the case. The A Slider will control the overall intensity
of the Main Look Page (Looks 1 through infinity). If you want to manually crossfade between Look Pages using the
A/B, assign one panel to one Look Page and the other to a different page.
3. A/B C/D (X1 - X2)
The A/B and C/D faders have multiple purposes. On a new show file, the A/B faders are configured as Preset A/B
Two Scene Masters and the C is configured as the Intensity Master for the Cue List assigned to that Playback, while
D is configured as a manual crossfader for that cue list. All the modes are described below.
Note: Regardless of configuration of the A/B and C/D faders, the [SELECT], [HALT/BACK] and [GO] buttons will
function as normal on the appropriate cue list.
