Monitor Screens
The
channel screen displays 60 output channel levels or preview channel levels (in
real time); 12 sub-master cue leg-ends; selected stack with current and next
five cue numbers, names and time fade details; Sequence pattern, BPM speed and
unique speed clock simulator. The sequence overview screen displays all sequence
steps at once for clarity, the stack overview screen displays complete entry
listing and associated detail and the show storage screen displays floppy disk
and Q-card archival information.
Time Fades
The time fades for each and every cue include up
and down times for dimmers (HTP), separate move fade times (LTP) For dynamic
lighting and a default setting which can be modified on-the-fly. Time fades are
programmable within the range 0.3 seconds to 60 seconds.
Stay Playback
The
stack, or list, function allows cues and sequences to be programmed and played
back in any order against a maximum 99 entries using either the automatic
playback, go button or manual crossfader. Each cue uses it's programmed time
fade setting for up, down and move fade in addition to a separately programmable
dwell, or wait, time setting for automatic playback. To assist with programming,
the stack maker function can automatically construct a stack from a user defined
start and end point.
Advanced Sequence and
Effects Bay.
The chase maker can automatically build a chase
pattern using a snapshot of them faders above zero on the preset. Once recorded
many different patterns can be created by applying the built in templates such
as negative, build, crawl, two on two off, three on three off etcetara, etcetara.
to further enhance a chase a various sequence modifiers can be used to change
the speed and order of individual steps including wild step, a random step
flicker effect; Wild speed, a random speed flicker effect; Audio step, an effect
that steps the chase in time to the beat of the music signal input; Audio speed
an effect that changes the speed of the chase in synchronisation to the volume
of the music signal input; Audio Volume, an effect that recreates a digital VU
meter whereby the louder the music signal input the more lights are switched on
and fading chase, for subtle transitions from one step to the next using either
overlapping or non-over-lapping methods. The chase maker can also construct a
pattern to cycle through the colour frames of any colour changer. Chases are
assignable to any cue for convenient replay each with their own sped setting
recordable between 1 and 1200 BPM.
