Channels controlled from a different main playback will have a green level.
Master Playbacks
The 80 master fields are global.
Partitioning
Within a Session, partitions can be used to subdivide channel control, recording and Main Playback
functions.
• Partitions are conceptually Filters that filter out all channels not included in the partition.
• Updating and recording presets will record values for all recordable channels in the partition
and will not affect channels that are outside of the partition.
Freeze/Blackout & Grand Master
Freeze is activated locally and will freeze all outputs. Blackout and Gand Master will do the same.
They are all global.
Inputs/Outputs
To ensure seamless operation it is recommended in a multiconsole system (multiuser or with a
backup) that a network is used to distribute DMX and to interface to other I/O and show control
protocols.
Multiconsole Sessions - Local Functions (8.0)
Basically everything is local except the global features described above. See Multiple Users - Global
Functions. There are some special cases:
Capture
Each user has its own Capture mode, but all captures channels are handled on a global system level on
a first come, first served basis. This means that if a channel can be controlled from two consoles and
one of them has Captured it - it is "owned" by this console until released.
Group Wheel Mode
Group Wheel mode is local for each console - just like all other channel control functions.
Multiconsole Sessions - Patching, Users and Partitions (8.0)
To set up a multiconsole Session in a system it is important to do things in a specific order. It is also
important to structure the working method of the Users since they will all be sharing the same system.
