LX600 Playbacks with main screen scrolled down to see the playback displays.

The playback controls work in exactly the same manner as in the actual consoles. See the
playback sections of the consoles for details.

When hovering over an emulated LCD screen, a zoomed version of the LCD is presented to aid
readability. This is also configurable via the tool menu. The emulation views also snap to screen

boundaries and to each other to aid layout.

BASIC DESKTOP OPERATION

The tabbed windows of the main menu bar follow the same order as the basic

s

teps used in

control lighting fixtures.

1.

Patch

2000 fixture personalities supplied by Carallon, an independent supplier of fixture
libraries. You patch a fixture to its DMX slot by drag and drop.

2.

Rig

,

Programmer

and

Palettes

allow you to select fixtures and control their attributes

to create (record and edit) looks, effects, cue lists and palettes.

3.

Control Booth

and

Performance

provide extensive methods of playback.

4.

Levels

shows you what is happening on the output.

All of these operations are described in detail in their relevant sections of this manual.

The right end of the top toolbar has buttons for

Clear All

,

Release All

and

DBO

.



Clear

All

clears all fixtures from all Programmers.



Release All

releases all fixtures from all Playbacks.

See the Programmer and Control Booth sections for more details on Clearing

and Releasing.



DBO

(Dead Black Out) instantaneously blacks out all fixtures and dimmers.

This is a momentary action. When the button is released, all output is
instantly restored.



GM

(Grand Master)

.

When you hover the mouse over the

DBO

button, the

Grand Master (GM) appears. You can click on

0

(Black Out) or

100

(Full

level) or drag the virtual fader to set an overall intensity level. The

DBO

button flashes red if the Grand Master

is set to any level below 100%. It

stays red when the Grand Master

is set to 0%.
