Live and Blind
Live and Blind are methods to view and edit data in your show files. Live displays data that
is currently being outputted to the lighting rig. So if you raise a channel’s level in Live,
Element will output that level. Blind displays data that is not being outputted. You can make
changes to levels in Blind, but you won’t see those changes on stage. When you press the
[Live] key, the screen will show you the live display. When you press [Blind], you will see
the blind display. In either case, you may use the [Format] key to alter how the data is
displayed (see Using [Format], page 27 ).
