Mode Characteristics
LTP (Default)
Last Takes Precedence. In LTP mode, SONARA will listen to DMX (wired or wireless), Art-Net, and the local
User Interface, and will take instructions from any. This allows a DOP or gaffer to ‘ride’ the dimmer when the
talent is moving to a cue, or during setup to make changes whilst talking to the board operator, who may be
backstage.
External
Ignores local control and locks the User Interface. To exit this mode, hold down the bottom left button for 5 sec-
onds and the display will go to Control Priority Menu.
Local Ignores any external input even if wired to DMX.
