INTRODUCTION
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Sometimes the best results occur when you get a look at the
subject matter from an entirely new direction. This fresh start idea
should start at basic requirements and how to relate information in
a modern age. Many would agree that good lighting controls
should be designed to adapt to an overall performance environment,
not just playback in one. Lighting controls need to adapt to a
changing environment. This is the challenge of the 90s.
The EnAct family of control is designed to offer advanced
features with a new presentation format for a fresh start approach
to control. Control details are now presented in a high definition
SVGA video format. A single video screen can present up to 200
control channels in an easy to read format.
In addition, the screen also provides a detailed active cue window
to inform the operator of the next and last actions. Couple this with
active color coding for channel fields, and an alphanumeric label
capacity for cues, groups, submasters, and effects, and now you
have a dynamic video display that presents concise information in
a clear, readable form to support operator controls.
The EnAct family of control targets flexibility in how the console
operates by user-selectable conditions. The Set-Up Menu offers
the user real choices on how the console will respond. These
conditions allow features like Auto Record, Editing on Track and
Cue Screens, Advancing Submasters, Preset or Track Mode
operations, and Remote Record features. These features can also
be controlled by Macros. The user can switch these features by
Macro or Set-Up Screen, based on preference.
EnAct Consoles offer significant additions in the submaster
playback area of control. With up to eight pages of 24 playbacks,
the EnAct allows the operator to set unique sequences of actions
on the playbacks and operate them in a timed or manual mode.
Timed playbacks can be labeled as advancing so that the
completion of one automatically starts the next. Color-coded
Bump Controls also start and stop actions. The EnAct comes with
a Playback Display, designed to identify and coordinate these
features. Additional features include SMPTE & MIDI control inter-
faces.
EnAct Consoles offer enhanced performance on a RISC-based
central processing unit. The EnAct is based on work station
technology rather than PC-based controls. This difference is
apparent when large tasks are addressed by the console.
We believe that the EnAct Control family offers real progress in
user controls designed to adapt the changing role of lighting in the
90s.
