Chapter 4 Learning the basics
Creating scenes
The first step in learning to use the
Acclaim 300 is to learn to create a
look or scene on stage. A scene is a group of channels set at specific
levels to create the look you want. The console's control channel
sliders allow you to set the output levels of the channels, which in
turn control the output of one or more dimmers.
The channel sliders are marked from
0
(zero percent) to
10
(100
percent). By adjusting the position of the channel slider between
0
and
10
, you can set the output level of the dimmers patched to that
channel.
Manual crossfades
If you have created looks in both scene A and scene B, you can use
Acclaim 300's two cross faders to bring one scene up while fading
the other scene out. This is called a crossfade.
The A and B cross faders control the output for scenes A and B
respectively. These two cross faders function independently. One
controls the output of scene A; the other controls scene B. Each cross
fader has a row of LEDs next to it that indicates the progress of the
crossfade.
In manual crossfades the LEDs follow the movement of the cross
faders; in timed crossfades, they indicate the percentage of playback
time that has run. See page
XX
for an explanation of the role of the
cross faders in timed crossfades.
In a crossfade, you normally set the channel settings for one scene
blind (without affecting live settings) while the other is live. When you
want to change from one scene to another, you use the crossfaders
to simultaneously fade the live scene out and bring the next one up.
