Presets (terminology)

This is a specific "Avab" concept. Frequently used combinations of channels are stored in up
to 9999.999 Presets for playback in the Main or Master Playbacks. The combination of a
Preset and a Sequence Step is the equivalent of a "Cue" in many other systems. The
advantage here is that Presets can be reused in any Sequence, with different times.

Presets

Sequences (terminology)

Lists of Presets are called Sequences, that can be crossfaded, move faded or lock faded in
consecutive order from a Master or Crossfade Playback. A Sequence can be played back in
Chase mode.

Dynamic Effects (terminology)

Dynamic Effects are wave-forms that are applied to intensity or attribute parameters for a
selection of channels to provide a Dynamic Effect, for example a circular movement or a
ballyhoo.

Dynamics

Effects (terminology)

Effects are run in effect playbacks, very similar to channel handles for moving devices. There
is also a backwards compatible older style of chase effect which is a mode for any
sequence.

There are four types of effects.

• Chase Effects - intensity only, step based with tap tempo.

• Content Effects - very powerful content based effects that can be reused with new

data.

• Dynamic Effects - Wave-form effects to provide movements.

• Image Effects - a text or an image source is mapped to a channel layout.
