NOVA OPERATION 17
SHOW
A Show is a number of cues recorded under a Scenemaster marked as a Show. Each cue step lists all Channel levels. Show
playback fade time is set by the Fade Master. A Show can be single stepped forward through its cues with the Cue Go key, and
stepped backward using the Cue Go and Park keys. Normally the main lighting is cued by setting a fade time on the Fade Master,
and then pressing the Cue Go key, while independently timed effects may be flashed or faded from Scenes or Chases, or from
the Channel Faders or Flash keys.
Although in the Nova each Showmaster can only hold a maximum of 60 cue states (40 in the 36 channel Nova), hundreds of cues
can be seamlessly cross-faded by splitting the lighting for an entire performance over a number of Show masters on all the pages.
By recording an extra blackout cue at the start and end of each Showmaster you can cross-fade from the end of one show to the
start of the next, even when the new Showmaster is on a different page. Splitting the lighting over a number of masters in this way
also makes for ease of editing and playback.
SCENEMASTER FLASH KEYS
The Scenemaster Flash keys can be used for an instant flash to Full of any Scene, Chase, or Show. Pressing the Flash key at the
same time as the DBO key works the same as in manual mode—all lighting except the Flashed Scene or Chase is blacked out.
The Scenemaster Flash keys are also used to assign recordings, and for mimic and preview functions.
SCENEMASTER FADERS
The Scenemaster faders are used to fade up and down all Scenes, Chases, and Shows. You can have any number of Scenes or
Chases up at once. Scenes are normally cross-faded in pairs—the new Scene up with the old Scene down. If you are running a
Show using the Cue Go key, only one Show fader should be up at a time unless you are cross-fading to the next cue of a new
Show on the same page, or to a new Show on a new page.
SCENEMASTER PAGES
Page overlay memory keeps the last page master active until it is returned to zero thus allowing access to any page without
change to the current lighting state.You can change the current page of Scenemasters by pressing the Page Up or Down keys:
the playback of any Scenemasters which are up remain unaffected. New Scenemasters can be faded up on the new page to add
to those from the previous page. Scenemasters can be live on only two pages at a time: if you change the page when masters are
already up on two pages, the page number swaps back to the last page.
