FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION

SETTING UP THE VERTIGE™ & CONFIGURING THE SHOW

1- Touch screen

The touch screen 15’’6 Wide displays comfortably on

the same page, the representation of the Program

& Preview but also of a typical scene (Blend + 2

satellites). It is important to have the whole scene

represented to work on multiple layers from

different screens at the same time (change of source

of background, for example). It is useful to have both

states Program/Preview shown at the same time as

the LiveCore™ series allows you to change one or the

other at any time (even during an effect).

2- Preset section

This section allows the operator to save/load its

scene presets (10 direct access presets and a page

mechanism to organize them).

3- Layer section

This section enables the operator to select a set of

layers which belong to different screens in order to

edit them simultaneously. Various criteria are used to

perform advanced combinations. It will be possible

to save those combinations for later use.

4- Source section

This section allows assigning sources to the selected

layers in Program or Preview. Twelve contextual

buttons display the name of source. The capability

to change a page allows benefiting from numerous

sources in association with the management of plugs

for the LiveCore™ series.

5- Control section

This section enables the operator to select which

preset to work with, and have direct access to

basic functions applied to all selected layers (Clear,

Unify...).

6- Edit section

This section allows the operator to edit the selected

layers in three different ways: roughly by the

joystick, finely by coders or directly by numpad. The

block containing the numpad is contextual and also

provides access to pages of shortcuts, tools, layer

presets (Position, Size, Border, Effect …).

7- Transition section

This section enables to use the T-Bar for transitions.

Sliders can be used like T-Bar (Effects) or like Faders

(Alpha). They are motorized in order to see the

current state of the selection.

8- Control Transition

The ALPHA button is used to give a specific role to

the sliders:

• If the ALPHA mode is disabled (key backlight turned

off), sliders allow to individually mix each screen

• If the ALPHA mode is enabled (key illuminates in

RED), different layers of different screens can be

assigned to a slider, they will allow to control the

layer opacity (transparency).

The CUE SEQUENCE mode allows buttons to be used

for controlling cue sequence playback.
