11.1.15 The Synchronised Start function (SYNCST)
All chases of a speed group, to which the
Synchronised Start function
(SYNCST) is
assigned, will start collectively, when one chase of the
group is activated.
The illustration on the left shall explain the principle of
the Synchronised Start function.
The Synchronised Start function has the same visual
effect as the MERGE function, although they are
managed differently by the lighting control console. While the MERGE function is a fixed connection of
two or more chases, which cannot be dissolved so easily, the Synchronised Start function can be deleted
with only one keystroke.
11.1.15.1 Entering the Synchronised Start function
The softkey SYNCST is displayed, when a chase is assigned to a speed group during the
storage process.
You can activate the Synchronised Start function by pressing the softkey SYNCST. The
function field is shown inverted on the display.
11.1.15.2 Deleting the Synchronised Start function
If the Synchronised Start function is activated, the corresponding field on the display is shown inverted
(see:
11.1.15.1 Entering the Synchronised Start function
). Press the softkey SYNCST again to deactivate
the Synchronised Start function. The corresponding function field is no longer displayed inverted.
11.1.16 The Sound function / Entering the beatcount
Chases can run sound-controlled, i.e. the bass beat connected to the sound input of the lighting control
console gives the signal for switching the chase steps.
The input jack for the sound is located on the rear panel of the lighting control console. It is a stereo jack
socket.
The bass frequency is preset by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. However, you can determine
the number of bass counts to be left out until the Licon 1X switches to the next step.
How to programme the Sound function and its mode of operation will be described in detail in Chapter
13.8.
11.2 Programming chases with the chase generator
The chase generator is an effective and fast means to programme chases. The chase generator provides
a number of pre-programmed chase patterns, to which you only have to assign the fixtures and the
desired parameter.
Only
one
fixuture parameter can be assigned to a chase that is programmed with the help of the chase
generator. This means that you can create either a shutter chase
or
an iris chase
or
a Pan chase
(depending on how many features your fixture provides).
You can, however, combine chases with the Merge or the Speed Group function as described above.
If you use these functions in combination with the chase generator, you can programme chases for
individual parameters and then recall these chases simultaneously.
