Chapter 6 Groups

Lighting "Groups" can be thought of like virtual submasters or cues. Groups

are pre-recorded looks for use as building blocks in the creation of cues,

effects and live stage looks. This console gives you the ability to store and

recall up to 500 groups.
Chapter 6 describes working with Groups and includes the following

•
