Latest Takes Precedence (LTP)
The value for each attribute of a fixture (intensity, color, position, etc.) that appears on
the output is determined by a method known as LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) and
by fader position. An LTP action occurs when a red fader is raised above zero. When
this occurs, the fader will take control of its attributes and they will fade to their levels
in that fader following the fader movement and fade times. When that fader reach-
es 100%, it fully overrides all other faders containing attribute values for the same
fixtures.
For example:
We have 3 cues recorded on red playback faders 1 to 3 with a single LED fixture in
each cue. In the first fader the fixture is red, in the second it is blue and in the third it
is yellow.
• Fade up fader 1 to full. The fixture fades to red.
• Fade up fader 2 to full. The fixture fades to blue.
• Fade down fader 1 and nothing happens because fader 2 is the latest (LTP) and
it is at full.
• Fade up fader 3 and the fixture fades to yellow because fader 3 is the latest.
• Fade down fader 3 and the fixture fades back to blue (the previous latest).
Remember that when the latest red fader to be raised from zero is at full, other faders
controlling the same fixtures can be faded down without having an effect.
Live Speed
“Live Speed” allows you to override the fade times and speeds of cues, chases, ani-
mations and shapes. The changes are only a temporary offset applied to the settings
saved in the cue or on the live yellow faders. The settings in recorded cues are not
altered.
From the “Home” screen press Live Speed.
