CUEMASTER II OPERATION 21
COMPARING EDIT LEVELS WITH ORIGINAL LEVELS
Editing any channel level sets the LED above the Compare key to Red. If you press the Compare key, the edited levels are swapped with
the original levels, allowing an instant comparison of any changes made. When the LED is Green the original levels are live on stage—
when the LED is Red, edited levels are live levels.
1 After editing levels as above, press [COMPARE]: the lighting reverts to the original levels (Green LED).
2 Press [COMPARE] again: the edited levels are live (Red LED).
CLEARING EDITED LEVELS
You can clear edited levels as follows:
> Hold [COMPARE], then press [UP]: the Compare LED flashes while the levels fade back to the original state.
Levels are restored at the fade rate set by the Scene Fade master, with a default 4 second fade imposed if the time is set at instant.
When the levels are equal, the LED above the Compare key goes out— the over-ride has been cancelled. If the Compare LED is Green
before an Edit Clear, the over-ride is cancelled immediately with no change in the lighting. The Compare and Up keys can be pressed in
any order for an Edit Clear function. Edited channels can be faded out by the Grand Master or blacked out by the DBO key if necessary.
Otherwise, they remain at their modified levels until cleared or recorded. This can be used to advantage—you can use the Up and Down
keys to set a level for orchestra or work lights, or to kill a light fitting knocked off focus during the performance.
KILL MODE
Normally, pressing a Channel Flash key sets that channel to Full without affecting other levels (Add Mode). If Kill is on, all other output is
blacked out while the key is held down. Pressing Kill again cancels Kill Mode and restores the normal Add Mode.
1 Press [KILL]: the Kill LED lights red to show that Kill Mode is on.
2 Set some levels live on stage using the Channel faders, with the Channels Master at Full.
3 Press a Channel Flash key: the selected channel goes instantly to Full, and all other levels are blacked out.
4 Release the Channel Flash Key: the original lighting is restored.
5 Press [KILL] again to cancel Kill Mode and restore normal Add Mode.
§
Note that pressing a channel with no light connected on stage will cause a blackout in Kill Mode. Kill mode (sometimes called Solo) is
often used for highlighting performers.
GRAND MASTER
The Grand Master fader controls the entire output of the Cuemaster, including flashed and latched channels, and edited levels. The
Grand Master is left at Full for normal operation, and used only for an overall fade to Blackout. If the Grand Master is at zero, there will be
no light on stage.
