10. Running the show
So, it’s showtime. This chapter describes the functions of the console
which are useful when running a show.
10.1 Playback controls
10.1.1 Back up the show
At regular intervals while you are programming, and when you have
finished programming (or you’ve run out of time) and it’s showtime,
the most important thing is to save the show (see section
2.3.6 on
page
33 for instructions). It is important to also back up the show by
saving it to a USB drive, enabling you to swap to a different console if
there are problems.
10.1.2 Label the console
When you are running your show you will need to know where
everything is. Use the Legend functions to set onscreen labels, or you
can’t beat the low tech method of marker pen and tape.
10.1.3 Grand Master fader
In the bottom left hand corner of the console is the Grand Master
Fader. This controls the intensity of all output from the console.
Normally you would set this at full, and use it if you need to quickly
fade out all the lights.
The Grand Master fader is disabled by default. It can be enabled in
the user settings if required.
10.1.4 Assignable Master faders
Any playback fader on the console can be assigned to be a master
fader, which allow you to set the overall intensity of various areas of
the console. Different types of master fader are available:
• Grand Master controls the intensity of all output from the
console.
• Swop and Flash masters control intensity of the swop/flash
buttons
• Preset master controls intensity of the preset faders
• Playback master controls intensity of all playbacks.
To assign master faders, go to System mode and select [Assign
Mastering].
By default, master faders are set to have a transparent lock, which
makes the master fader remain in position even when the playback
page is changed. If you don't want this to happen you can change it
by pressing [Playback Options] from the root menu then press the
Swop/Select button of the master.
