The mechanics of an intelligent fixture can only be in one position at a time. If
Submaster 1 calls for Gobo1 and Submaster 2 calls for Gobo 2, the fixture
cannot do both at the same time. The LPC, like any other controller, has to
choose between these two contradictory commands. It does so by taking the last
scene or submaster activated as the final position. The Last event Takes
Precedence over earlier events.
‘No Change’ cues
LPC controls intelligent fixtures by setting each property; Dimmer, Color, Beam
and Position. A cue usually contains a definite setting for each of these
properties; a certain color, gobo pattern and position on stage.
However, LPC allows cues to be built that do not set all of the properties. Cues
or submasters like this contain a ‘No Change’ value for some properties. LPC
cues can be recorded that will only change the color of a set of fixtures, and the
gobo will remain unchanged. Other cues or submasters can affect only the
position, and leave color and beam in their last setting.
