SHOWS 

PLAYING SHOWS 

To play a show, press the “show” switch, and then select the desired page and number switch. The 
display will show the page, show number and name of the show along with the current step, the 
current scene and hold time. The show will start immediately from step 0 which is the “start” step. If 
the show is set to run in manual mode, the hold time will display “manual” and you will have to press 
the go switch to advance the show steps. You can only run one show at a time and shows can only 
call one scene at a time. If you have scene “add mode” enabled, channel changes will track through 
from one scene to the next. Consult the “Scenes” chapter for information about add mode. 
 
Here are some useful tips for running shows; Press the “black” switch to pause a show and to black 
out the fixtures. Press “black” again to resume the show and turn the fixtures back on. If you press 
black and hold it for 1 second, the show will be turned off and all channels will go to 0. If you press 
the number switch of the show that is currently running the show will be turned off and the fixtures 
will go to black. If you select a new show while one is running it will replace the current show. If you 
select a new scene while a show is running it will also turn off the show. If at any time you need to 
see the show display for a show that is running press the “show” switch. 
 
If you are using the timer to run the show, press the left arrow switch to pause the timer and the right 
arrow switch to continue. Press the right arrow switch to advance a show to the next step if the 
show is not paused. You can also press the “go” switch to call the next show step, even when not in 
manual mode. This gives you the option of manually overriding the show timer by turning off the 
clock with the left arrow switch and then manually stepping the show using the “go” switch. You can 
turn the clock back on at any time by pressing the right arrow switch. If the show was recorded for 
manual mode, the clock cannot be turned on. 
 
If the show is set to loop, it will play continuously restarting after the last step’s hold time has 
counted down to 0 or if you press “go” during the last step. If loop is set to “off”, the show will 
end after the last scene has been called. If there is a link programmed with the show, the linked 
show will start as soon as the last step’s hold time has elapsed or after the go switch is pressed in 
manual mode following the last step. 
 

ERASE SHOW 

To erase an existing show, press “record” then “show” then “erase”. As when recording a show, 
all LEDs that contain a show will be lit. Next select the show to erase. That show name will appear in 
the LCD. The message “Erase this Show?” will also appear. Press “yes” or “no”. If you press “yes” 
the show will be erased. Erase show only works when there is no show currently being edited. While 
editing a show, “erase” is used to erase show steps. You can abort show erase at any time by either 
pressing “no” or by exiting record mode by pressing the “record” switch. 
 

NOTE:

 It can take several seconds to overwrite or erase a show depending on how much 

memory is currently used.
