Blind Operation
Blind
The BLIND feature only has effect in
PROGRAM mode where memories
may be programmed either ‘live’ or
‘blind’. In BLIND the PRESET levels
and the current memory do not affect
the desk outputs, allowing memories to
be updated during desk use. Memories
on submasters do affect the desk
outputs. Active chases also run.
Activating Blind
1 Press the BLIND button. The red
light in the button comes on.
2 The outputs from PRESETS A and
B and the current memory are no
longer connected to the DMX
output, and any associated green
output lights go out. The operator
can now run a show using
memories on submasters, whilst
programming other memories blind
using the PRESETS, and editing
by means of the wheels.

MONITOR NOTES
:
BLIND Mode
When in BLIND mode the monitor
shows live DMX output from the
submasters in the green, left-hand
bar of the bar graph. The yellow,
right-hand bar gives levels in the
current memory. If the right-hand bar
is blue instead of yellow, the current
level is different to that held in the
memory.
:
Programming
Pressing the PROGRAM button
updates the current memory, at
which point all blue bars turn yellow
as confirmation.
:
DMX Value
In BLIND the current DMX value is
highlighted in blue.
:
Selecting a Channel
When a channel is selected using the
channel flash button, the fixture
number square turns from yellow to
red. The channel level wheel can
then be used to adjust the level.
:
Editing a Level
A level cannot be adjusted to below
the current fader level with a wheel.
So lower the fader to zero and then
adjust the level.
NOTE
Chaser Memories
Do not normally run in program mode, as
this would make programming difficult. With
Blind Mode on selected chases will run.
