WING GROUP MASTERS
You can configure any of the VX wing fader playbacks (or Control Booth playbacks) as fixture
“Group Masters”. When a playback is converted into a Group Master, it no longer controls its
previous cue-list (if any) but instead acts as a submaster over the intensity of the selected
group as determined by your choice of either “Additive, Scale+, Inhibiting or Limiting”
mastering as described below.
To create a Group Master on a wing, in the Control Booth window,
Right click
on the LCD
window of the
virtual
wing playback and select
Set as Group Master...
See above for details on how to display the virtual wing.
