The SOLO function is, so to say, the counterpart of the Highlight function. SOLO will bring all dimmers not
selected to a vlaue of 0. I.e. sequences, effects etc. will still run, but are no longer visible. This does not apply to
Fixtures that had activated the NO MASTER function in SETUP / FIXTURE PATCH, and whose dimmer values will
not be modified. The SOLO function can be activated as Quikey (see 9.2) or by using the HIGHLIGHT hardkey.
In SETUP / DEFAULTS, set the Button to HIGHLIGHT IS SOLO;
The Hardkey will then have the SOLO function (LED is on) or no function at all (LED is off). The HIGHLIGHT Quikey
will then also behave like the HIGHLIGHT hardkey.
If the Button is on HIGHLIGHT NORMAL, the Highlight Hardkey will execute its normal function, and the SOLO
function can only be activated using the Quikey
Pictures of the gobos are displayed only if they are
stored in library.
