Chapter 11: Matrix Mixers and PQ Mixers 99
Working with a PQ Controller
When an optional Personal Q remote control system is con-
nected to D-Show, it can be used to adjust the controls in the
Personal Q mixers from a remote location.
For complete instructions on connecting and using PQ Con-
trollers, refer to the Personal Q Controller Guide, included with
the PQ Controller system.
Controller Detection
When a PQ Controller is detected, the Controller Detected in-
dicator lights in the corresponding Personal Q mixer
on-screen window.
Controller Lockout
Lockout From Console The PQ Controller can be locked out by
clicking the on-screen Lockout From Console button in any of
the PQ mixers. When this Lockout button is engaged, the PQ
Controller cannot adjust PQ mixer controls. The performer
using the PQ Controller cannot override this lockout from the
controller.
Lockout From Controller Users can lock their PQ Controllers to
prevent inadvertent changes to controller settings. When this
is done, the on-screen Lockout From Controller indicator
lights in the corresponding PQ mixer. This function does not
lock out control of the PQ mixer from the console.
Calling the Console Operator from the
PQ Controller
To call the console operator from a Personal Q Controller:
■ Press the Master Volume encoder knob.
A call message appears on the D-Show console display that
identifies which PQ Controller is calling. The Call LED on the
PQ Controller flashes until the message is cleared from the
console display.
Snapshot Data and Parameters for
Matrix and PQ Mixers
Snapshots can store and recall all source assignments (of each
matrix and PQ mixer) when the Matrix (“Mtx”) or PQ data
types are scoped. In addition, all User Input assignments are
stored, letting you reconfigure Matrix or PQ mixers and User
Input assignments on a per snapshot basis, if desired.
The following table describes what can be stored and recalled
in each snapshot when the MTX and PQ data types are
scoped.
The Recall Safe tab of the Snapshots page provides two data
“Mix” data types that let you discretely “safe” source and/or
user input assignments to prevent them from being changed
with a snapshot recall.
For complete information on D-Show snapshots, see
Chapter 21, “Snapshots.”
