may be driven by the Power Cue DMX. They may also be programmed to contain pre-defined
groups of channels and subsequently during scene programming to call these groups into a
scene.
They may also be used as output keys. In RUN mode (playback) they are used to recall those
effects programmed into them. In this context they may be set to latch, flash, swap or solo.
Touchkeys
There are sixteen illuminated touchkeys. These may be set to latch, flash, swap or solo. They
may be used during playback as output keys to recall those effects programmed into them.
Page keys
There are two pages of push buttons and two pages of touchkeys, so the physical number of
keys is effectively doubled in both cases, making a total of 64 virtual output keys.
Trackball
The trackball is used during programming for all functions that require the setting of a level.
When applied to mirror movement, it operates in both vertical and horizontal planes; for all
other effects it operates only in the vertical plane.
When using the live facility in RUN mode, the selected fixture attribute is adjustable live from
the trackball.
Master slider
The master slider controls the overall output of all channels on the desk, for which the type has
been set as
dimmer
, regardless of their highest takes precedence/lowest takes precedence
(HTP/LTP) status. (HTP and LTP are discussed further in the “Setup Channel Type” section.)
Channels not specifically set as
dimmer will not be affected. Any channel output level is
multiplied by the current level of the master to give its output level. When in RUN mode the
level of the Master is shown by a band of asterisks running horizontally across the display. The
master slider can be enabled/disabled independently for each channel.
Blackout switch
Operation of the blackout switch takes all
dimmer and shutter channel levels instantly to zero,
regardless of their HTP/LTP status. If used in conjunction with button 0 on the alphanumeric
keypad, then ALL channel levels will be set to 0 and all key commands are cancelled. When in
RUN mode a blackout is indicated by the word 'Blackout' above the asterisks indicating the
level of the Master. The blackout switch can be enabled/disabled independently for each
channel.
Light socket
This socket provides a drive voltage for an operating light. We recommend a 12 inch Littlite, G
Series with a type 1815 lamp.
