Setup 153
channels can exist in the patch, but they can be distributed throughout the entire 99,999 channel
count. Enter the number of channels for your system using the keypad. This entry must be con-
firmed with the [Enter] key.
Note: Every part in a multipart channel will count as an additional channel for the channel
count total.
{Dim. Dbl. Offset}
This allows you to set the address offset for dimmer doubling. The default for this is 20000, to match
the Net2 standard offset, including Sensor dimming software. For dimmer doubling over Local DMX,
this value should be set to 256.
{Create Virtual HSB}
{Create Virtual HSB} allows you to disable creation of virtual hue and saturation parameters. This
option is “Enabled” by default.
When Virtual HSB controls are disabled, the hue and saturation columns will not display in Table
view. You will not be able to record just the Hue or Saturation values into a cue, submaster, preset,
or palette, and you cannot apply an effect to Hue and Saturation. You will still be able to control Hue
and Saturation from the encoders, ML Controls, Color Picker, and the command line.
{Home Preset}
Allows you to specify a preset that will be used as the home level for all non-intensity parameters in
the preset, instead of the fixture library defaults. This preset will be applied for all “Go to Cue Out”
and home commands. Intensity values in the preset will be ignored. Channels not included in the
assigned home preset will continue to home to their library defaults.
{System Startup Macro}
This field allows you to set up a startup macro that will trigger after the console initialization has com-
pleted.
{System Shutdown Macro}
This field allows you to set up a disconnect macro that will trigger at power off, not when exiting the
application.
{Disconnect Macro}
This field allows you to set up a disconnect macro that will trigger when the primary disconnects
from its backup, or when a backup disconnects from the primary.
Cue Settings
Press {Cue Settings} to enter this category.
Three fields will be available to you: {Auto-Mark}, {Mark Time}, and {Preheat Time}. You can also set
cue default times in this display. {Auto-Mark} is not available on Element 2.
