Playback using Submasters
The submasters are used to playback
channel data or memories which have
been loaded onto them.
The data on up to 12 submasters can
be output simultaneously.
The data from submasters on different
pages can be combined using the
Page Overlay feature (see later).
The channel data or memories on the
submasters are accessed using the
PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN buttons
and the SUBMASTER FADERS.
The current active submaster page is
indicated by the seven segment
display on the front panel.
Chase memories transferred onto
submasters can be triggered in several
different ways (Transfer, Fader Level
or Flash Button).
Chase memories which are triggered
by Fader Level or Flash Button can be
stopped and restarted.
Chase memories which are triggered
by Transfer are running permanently
on the submaster.
The SUBMASTER FLASH BUTTONS
are used to flash, solo or ‘Go’ the
channel data or memory data on the
submaster.
Outputting Submaster Data
Select the required page using the
PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN buttons,
then move the SUBMASTER FADER
to the level required.
HTP Channel Data
The output levels of the HTP channels
(ie the dimmer channels and fixture
brightness parameters) in the channel
data or transferred memory are
determined by the level of the
submaster fader.
The time taken to fade up/down the
HTP channel data is governed by the
Fade Up
and
Fade Down
times
specified for the individual submaster
(shown on the Submaster screen).
If the
Fade Up
and
Fade Down
times
are zero, the fade is determined by the
speed at which the SUBMASTER
FADER is moved.
LTP Channel Data
The LTP channels (ie fixture colour,
beamshape or position parameters) in
the channel data or transferred
memory are triggered when the
submaster fader level reaches the LTP
trigger level.
Once triggered, the LTP channels will
fade to their programmed values
according to the
Colour, Beamshape
and
Position Transition
times defined
for the submaster.
Submaster Page Overlay
It is possible to output the channel data
or memory data on several submasters
from different pages simultaneously,
provided that they are not controlled by
the same physical submaster fader.
For example - It is possible to output
data from submasters 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4
at the same time, but not from
submasters 1-1, 2-1 and 3-1 as they
are all controlled by the same fader.
If the submaster page is changed while
any of the submaster faders are up, or
any of the SUBMASTER FLASH
BUTTONS are being held down, the
fader or button remains on the original
page and the outputs for the previous
submaster are held.
The new channel data or memory
associated with the fader or button is
not output until the fader is returned to
zero, or the flash button is released.
While data being output is not from the
current page, the yellow light in the
corresponding SUBMASTER FLASH
BUTTON flashes. The light in the
SUBMASTER FLASH BUTTON stops
flashing when the correct page is
returned to, by using the PAGE UP or
PAGE DOWN buttons.
