When in Live, the data displayed represents the data being sent from the console at that
moment. In other words, the parameter data that is “live” on stage. When you edit data in
live, those changes will become active and visible on stage as soon as the command line is
terminated, unless auto playback has been disabled in Setup. See
Auto Playback (on page 209)
for more information.
When in Blind, the data displayed represents data from the record target you choose to view
(cues, presets, palettes, and so on). When you edit data in Blind, changes will not
automatically appear on stage, since the data you are modifying is not live.
While in blind, the background color of the displays will be blue, the title bar will be bright
blue, and the word “Blind” will display in the top left corner of each monitor. You can click on
“Blind” to go back to live.
For more information on Live and Blind, see Live and Blind (on page 9)
Using [Format]
Live / Blind has multiple formats. When first opened, it opens in its default view, which is the
Table View (on the facing page) . The default view can be set in the Live and Blind
Configuration Menu (on page 103) . When the default format has been changed, those new
settings will be used whenever the display is changed back to that format.
Press [Format] to rotate through any available formats.
Live and Blind share formatting. When you change from one format to another format, you
are always working with the same format until you change it. The exception to this is
Spreadsheet (Blind Only) (on page 99) , which is only available in blind. If you are working in
blind spreadsheet, when you return to live you will be working with the table or summary
view, based on which one you were last using.
Summary View
The summary view displays the largest number of channels of any of the formats. This format
is best used to see large numbers of channels’ intensity data and / or parameter category data.
Individual parameters are not visible in this view.
FCB icons will appear at the bottom of the channel area for channels that have those
parameters patched to them. See
Indicators in the Live / Blind Display (on page 100)
for more
information.
To collapse the summary view, hold down [Data] and any of the encoder paging keys (Focus,
Color, Image, Shutter, or Form).
