Set the default fade time that will be used for new parameter values in the programmer when
recording a cue.
"
Blind time
". Default = 1000 ms.
The fade time that the programmer uses to go in and out of blind mode, entered in ms
(milliseconds). For example 2 seconds = 2000ms.
"
Clear Time
". Default = 1000 ms.
The fade out time that the programmer uses when it is cleared, entered in ms (milliseconds).
For example 2 seconds = 2000ms.
"
DMX holdoff after load (s)
" Default = 2 seconds.
All output is delayed for n (the time you set) seconds after loading a show.
In the unlikely event that Clarity stops responding and needs to be restarted, the playbacks will
hold the last DMX state and the Grand Master and DBO still control all intensity channels. When
the show is reloaded, any active cues will fade up using their recorded fade times. Therefore
there could be a dip in intensity between the held state in the playback and the fade up of the
restored playback. If you set the DMX holdoff time to be slightly longer than the cue fade up
time, the intensity levels will not dip on the output.
This setting can be made redundant enabling the “Snap-restore playback” setting above
.
"
Default lamp ctrl hold time
". Default = 4000 ms.
The duration of the “Lamp on” command that is sent when using the
Ctrl
button on the
Programmers Selection window.
"
Number of audio streams
". Default = 16.
The maximum number of audio streams that can be running at one time .
“
HTP override priority
”. Default = 100.
LTP playbacks at this priority or higher will override HTP playbacks, otherwise HTP takes
precedence over LTP.
“
On level
”. Default = 100%.
Sets the intensity level that a selected fixture(s) will be set to when the On button is pressed
on an LX console or
F
is pressed on a keyboard . If an On level other than 100% is set, then
the first press of the On or F button will turn on the fixture at that level and a second press will
set it to 100%.
