SCENE EDITING    

You can edit the playback levels of any Manual or Fade-Scene using the Channel Edit Page Keys together with the Up and Down keys, 
and then modify the original scene. Editing must be done with the scene live on stage. Record must be enabled for level editing. 

EDITING PLAYBACK LEVELS 

The Up, Down, and All keys fade selected playback levels at the rate set by the Scene Fade timer, excepting if the time is set to Instant, 
when a four second default fade rate is imposed to prevent obvious errors on stage. All edited levels over-ride normal playback. 

1  Set the Scene Fade time at Instant (for a 4 second default time). 
2  Set the Manual Scene or Fade-Scene to be modified at Full.  
3  Hold [UP], and press any channel flash keys: the channels will fade up. 
4  Hold [DOWN] and press any flash key:  the channels will fade down. 
5  Hold [ALL], and press [UP] or [DOWN]: all live channels will fade up or down together. 

Whenever Up, Down or All are pressed by themselves, the Mimic LEDs display all channels which have been edited—NOT levels. 

 

COMPARING LEVELS 

Editing any channel level using the Up, Down, and All keys sets the LED above the Compare key to Red. If you press the Compare key, 
the edited levels are alternated with the original levels, allowing an instant comparison of changes. 

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 shown (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.
