About Submasters
Submasters can be used to store manual intensity data for channels. You can copy cues, presets,
or intensity palettes to a submaster as well.
Faders can be configured as submasters in setup (see
).
When set as a submaster, the bottom button beneath the potentiometer acts as a bump button. One
press of the bump will bring the submaster level to full (unless the submaster has timing data). The
button above this acts as a solo button. When pressed, solo will immediately force all intensities not
controlled by the submaster to drop to zero. This is a momentary button; when it is released, the
stage state is restored.
When a submaster bump LED is blinking, it means that the submaster must be homed due to either
changes to its content or to its mode. In either case, reset the submaster by dropping it to zero and
the moving it back to the desired position.
It is possible to program upfade, dwell, and downfade times in association with the submaster
bumps.
In the window above any programmed submaster, you will see the following:
•
Submaster number
•
Submaster label (if any)
•
Independent flag (if any)
•
a fader icon representing the current setting
Additive vs. Inhibitive
You may define your submaster as additive (contributes to the live output) or inhibitive (removes
from live output). Eos defaults to submasters being additive.
To toggle a submaster between additive or inhibitive:
•
[Sub] [7] {Sub Type} [Enter]
Additive submasters are indicated by a green LED and a green fader icon in the fader window.
Inhibitive submasters display these indicators in red. Channels mastered by an inhibitive submaster
are indicated with an “I” next to the intensity value in the channel display in live.
Independent
You can also set a submaster to “independent”, allowing submaster values to remain unaffected by
other submasters or playback fader instructions. They will, however, still be impacted by manual
control, grand master, blackout, park instructions, or other faders/submasters on independent.
Inhibitive subs can not be set as independent.
To toggle a submaster between independent “on” or “off”:
•
[Sub] [7] {Independent} [Enter]
