General Functions

Master & Black Out function

To get light output (at all), the Master needs to be at full, and the Black Out button off.

The Master fader proportionally limits all intensity outputs, while parameters for devices are

left untouched. As soon as the Master is faded under 100% the Blackout button will blink.

The Blackout button instantly sends all intensity outputs to zero. As soon as it is activated

the button will light up. Device parameters are not affected by these two functions.

N o t e :

The Independent channels patched to IND 1 and IND 2 are not affected by the Master

fader or Black Out button unless they are set to “GM” in the Independent Settings.

See

“Set up Independents” on page 22.

Light output from the intensity faders is also affected by the NEXT button.

See “Intensity

Channels” on page 40.

Clear

Clear is a very useful button that will bring you back to a “clean” state of the console with

no output. Pressing CLEAR will NEVER erase content - it only brings the fader intensities

to zero. You can press CLEAR to abort any recording function if it is blinking.

• Set all dimmer and device intensity faders to zero . . . = 2 presses

• Set all memory faders to zero (blackout) . . . . . . . . . . = 3 presses

• Set sequence/Stack faders to zero (blackout) . . . . . . = 4 presses

• Deselect all currently selected devices . . . . . . . . . . . = 5 presses

CLEAR is also used in combination with other keys. For example

Bump Master

The Bump Master sets the level to which bump buttons will flash. See Bump Button

functionality for each type of fader mode.
