Prelude 3.0 Limitations
• Prelude Destination Protects and Locks apply to all configured levels.
This matches the behavior of Encore control systems. Panels with dis-
plays also report a “Locked” status for both hard locked and protected
Destinations.
• Prelude does not support the following Native Protocol commands:
AS, CH, CT, DA, QT, ST
• The PC monitor running the Prelude application must be set to 96dpi
(small fonts) to properly display the graphics. PC dpi display settings
can be accessed via: Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display/Settings/
Advanced/General.
• An extremely large number of rapid consecutive button presses (70+)
or rapid salvo Takes can overload the system. The system will not crash
but may miss a button press/release cycle, resulting in undesired
results (unintended Takes, for example).
