Grp
When scenes are dropped into sequences (as described in "Creating Sequences", p.119), the
group setting for that scene -
EX
,
XA
,
XT
,
LA
or group and sub group letters
A
,
Bc
etc. (shown in
blue) will default to this setting.
BOM
Blackout-On-Movement - This can be set to
Off
(the default) or a value between
1
and
25
.
If set to a value of
1
to
25
frames: When fading in, that time value is added to the fade-in time
before the main dimming function (dimmer, shutter etc.) snaps on to the level recorded in that
scene; When fading out the dimming function will instantly snap to
000
when that scene starts to
fade out.
This allows the pan / tilt / gobo / color etc. to reach its correct setting before the beam is turned on,
even if no fade times are used.
Please Note:
The main dimming function fader(s) on the fixture panel will appear to fade in / out as normal, but
the actual DMX values being sent will follow the BOM settings - as can be viewed on the Monitor
panel with the
DMX
button selected.
The
Type
,
Effect
,
Grp
and
BOM
settings above can be changed by clicking anywhere in the details
display and using the appropriate drop-down menus on the
Edit Scene
dialogue box that appears.
The scene’s label can also be edited by clicking within the
Label
window on the dialogue box.
Recording Scenes
To record a scene, do the following:
1) Select the fixture panel on the left side of the desk and the scene panel on the right.
2) Set up all the faders that you wish to record as a scene. In the example below we have
recorded a scene for the
Stage Light 300
fixture on the demo desk.
3) Use the bank and page buttons on the scene panel to select the page containing the scene
button (scene number) that you wish to record the settings to.
4) Activate the
Rec
button by clicking on it (it will flash) then click on the desired scene
button; the scene will then be recorded to that scene number and the
Rec
button will be de-
activated. If the scene number already contains a recorded scene then you will be prompted
to confirm the overwrite. Click OK to overwrite the scene or Cancel to cancel the operation;
both options de-activate the
Rec
button.
Setting Fade Times for a Scene
With a scene recorded to a scene button (the button is shown in red to indicate that a scene has been
recorded to it), you can now set the fade times for that scene:
