this: A [Chase Parameters]
•
The Numeric keypad and other control buttons are used to enter
values and change controls on the console.
•
The Fixture Page buttons are below the keypad, which select 4 pages
for the Preset Faders.
•
The blue Command buttons are used to carry out functions such as
storing memories, copying, saving to disk, etc. These buttons have
lights on to indicate when they are active.
•
The Attribute select buttons are used to select which attributes of a
fixture (e.g. colour, gobo, pan, focus) are going to be controlled using
the Control wheels. The buttons have lights on to show you which
attributes are active. The bottom (red) button allows you to reduce the
intensity of a fixture if it loses position during a show.
The VDU screen shows more information than the on-board displays.
It is useful when setting up the console and programming shows. When
entering text or numbers, what you are typing is shown only on the
VDU screen. If you are short of space you can often manage without it
when you are running a show.
The main part of the display shows the output of the console for one of
the types of fixture you are using (you can show different things using
the View button, see page 61). Across the bottom of the display, the
current page of memories is shown. The “A B” at the right side of the
screen shows which functions are currently assigned to the control
wheels.
