FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION
SETTING UP THE VERTIGE™ & CONFIGURING THE SHOW
1- Touch screen
The touch screen 15’’6 Wide displays comfortably on
the same page, the representation of the Program
& Preview but also of a typical scene (Blend + 2
satellites). It is important to have the whole scene
represented to work on multiple layers from
different screens at the same time (change of source
of background, for example). It is useful to have both
states Program/Preview shown at the same time as
the LiveCore™ series allows you to change one or the
other at any time (even during an effect).
2- Preset section
This section allows the operator to save/load its
scene presets (10 direct access presets and a page
mechanism to organize them).
3- Layer section
This section enables the operator to select a set of
layers which belong to different screens in order to
edit them simultaneously. Various criteria are used to
perform advanced combinations. It will be possible
to save those combinations for later use.
4- Source section
This section allows assigning sources to the selected
layers in Program or Preview. Twelve contextual
buttons display the name of source. The capability
to change a page allows benefiting from numerous
sources.
5- Control section
This section enables the operator to select which
preset to work with, and have direct access to basic
functions applied to all selected layers (Freeze, Clear,
Unify...).
6- Edit section
This section allows the operator to edit the selected
layers in three different ways: roughly by the joystick,
finely by coders or directly by numpad. The block
displaying the numpad is contextual: it also provides
access to pages of shortcuts, tools, layer presets
(Position, Size, Border, Effect …).
7- Transition section
This section enables to use the T-Bar for transitions.
Sliders can be used like T-Bar (Effects) or like Faders
(Alpha). Sliders are motorized in order to see the
current state of the selection.
8- Control Transition
The
ALPHA
button is used to give a specific role to
the sliders:
• If the
ALPHA
mode is disabled (key backlight turned
off), sliders allow to individually mix each screen
• If the
ALPHA
mode is enabled (key illuminates in
RED), different layers of different screens can be
assigned to a slider, they will allow to control the
layer opacity (transparency).
The
CUE SEQUENCE
mode allows buttons to be used
for controlling cue sequence playback.
