Left and Right Playback
Cognito provides two Playbacks, one located beside the Grand Master and one beside
the Memory Master. Each Playback consists of a Go button, a Playback Master, and a
Pause/Back button. Any Playlist may be assigned to either Playback. A Playlist is a
series of cues or ‘looks’ that have been previously recorded.
Once a Playlist is loaded (see PLAY below), press the Go button to advance the Playlist
to the next cue. The Go button glows green when a cue is active.
Above the Go button is the Playback Master, which sets the overall intensity of any light
levels controlled by the active Playlist.
Above the Playback Master is a Pause/Back Button. When a Playlist is active, the
Pause/Back button is backlit blue. Pressing the Pause button while a cue is running will
cause the fade to stop and the Pause button will flash yellow. To resume a paused cue,
press the Go button again.
While resting in a cue, press the Pause/Back button to fade the previous cue.
To force a Playback to release (exit) a Playlist, press and hold the Shift button then
press the Playlist’s Pause/Back Button.
Attribute Shortcut Buttons
Immediately to the left of the touch screen are four attribute shortcut buttons. From top
to bottom, the buttons are Intensity, Color, Position and Shape. Whenever a light is
selected, these buttons act as shortcuts to the related CONTROL screens.
Not all lights support all attributes. Only the buttons for attributes supported by the
selected light will be active, as shown by the button’s backlight. If a group of lights are
selected, the buttons will reflect the available attributes of the first light chosen.
See CONTROL for details of attributes and their associated tools.
Function Buttons
Immediately to the right of the touch screen are four function buttons: Release, Help,
Edit and Record. The buttons are backlit when a given function is available, and flash
when that function has been selected.
Release: In SELECT or CONTROL, pressing the Release button progressively clears
any changes made to lights, then deselects the lights. When used in PLAY mode, it
clears all active Playlists and Memories. A dialog screen appears asking for
confirmation. Choose OK from this screen to cause all lights to turn OFF. Always warn
everyone present before turning off all lights (black out the stage).
