Using this manual
This manual provides instructions for using Insight 2x’s features and
optional accessories.
Setting up Insight 2x
If you are setting up the system for the first time, chapters 4 and 5 and
appendix A instruct you in installing and configuring Insight 2x
.
If the
system is already in place, you may not need to refer to these chapters.
New users
If you are new to lighting consoles, or to Insight 2x in particular, read chap-
ters 5 through 11 for instructions on setting channel levels and using cues,
groups, and submasters. These are the building blocks for creating and
running any show. Once you are comfortable with these functions, chap-
ters 12 through 22 provide more advanced information on effects, subrou-
tines, macros, and the Link List.
Experienced users
Once you are familiar with the system, refer to
Appendix D, Glossary
, and
the console’s Help function for answers to any remaining questions you
may have.
Using Help
Help screens are available for all Insight 2x keys, including softkeys and
wheels
.
To display help screens, press [Help], then press any key on the
console.
Text conventions
In this manual, console keys are indicated by square brackets, such as
[Enter]
. Messages that appear on the console displays are printed in bold-
face, such as Select channel
.
References to other sections of the manual
are printed in italics, such as Chapter 1, Introduction .
Output level conventions
In almost every case, Insight 2x uses a highest level, or pile-on, conven-
tion to determine levels for channels affected by more than one output
.
Insight 2x reads all output levels it receives for a specific channel and sets
that channel to the highest one
. A level setting entered on the keypad,
however, takes priority over almost any other input.
For example, if a channel is included in both a submaster and a cue that
has played back and is in a fader, Insight 2x sets the channel at the higher
of the two levels. You may then use the keypad to select that channel and
set it to any level, regardless of the levels set by the cue and the submas-
ter.
