Manual Intensity Override
An intensity transition may be taken over manually and the transition captured by dropping the
fader down until it reaches the percentage of cue completion (i.e. if the cue is 50% complete, when
the fader is manually dropped to 50%, the intensity transitions will be captured and the intensity
portion of the cue completed by moving the fader manually between 50% and full or anywhere in
between). If the fader is dropped below 50%, the fader will fade all intensity values proportionally
from their captured values to their previous values.
If a fade is captured and the faders are not reset to 100% prior to the next press of the [Go] button,
the fader will automatically reset to 100% upon cue execution. Alternatively, you can set the fader
to 0% before executing the next cue to capture the cue for manual intensity control when the [Go]
button is pressed. Intensity control is released from the fader when the cue is considered complete
(when the fader is brought back to 100%).
This is true unless the cue has a “hold” attribute. You could provide a “hold” on a per cue basis to
allow the cue’s intensity (or whatever the fader potentiometer was manually controlling) to remain
under the control of the potentiometer even after it reaches full. The “hold” will remain until the next
cue is executed. When held, the potentiometers may be used to drop any values with manual
timing, even after the cue has reached full. The hold attribute is released when [Go] is pressed to
activate the next cue in the list.
If a pending cue has any manual control properties, you may either preset the fader to zero or the
console will automatically set the fader to zero when the [Go] button is pressed.
Manual intensity override is not possible if there is any manual timing in the cue, as the
potentiometer is already occupied with that control.
Manual Override
Manual override allows the potentiometer of the associated fader to control all parameters in a
transition state on that fader. When [Man Override] & [Load] are pressed, all activity on that fader
is frozen and the motorized potentiometers move to match the current fade progression.
The potentiometer is used to manually complete the cue transition for all parameters. If the fader is
operating in a paired mode, the left fader controls the intensity upfade and all non-intensity
parameters, while the right fader controls all intensity downfade actions. Manual control override
automatically releases when the cue is complete.
A group of faders can be collected for manual override by pressing [Man Override] & [Load]
(continue adding faders by pressing the associated [Load] buttons).
