About Park
The park instruction allows you to set a channel or parameter to a specific value and have it remain at
that level on stage (live mode), prohibiting manual control override, cue or submaster playback modi-
fication. Park may also be used to place a scaling instruction on the intensity output of a channel.
Note: A parked channel intensity is not impacted by grandmaster or blackout operations.
Parked values are withheld from all record targets, but you can manually set levels for parked chan-
nels and parameters and store those values into record targets. Keep in mind that the values set and
stored in live do not actually output to the system if the parameter is parked.
When channels or parameters are parked, the LED on the [Park] button illuminates and the live dis-
play will indicate “Parked Channels” or “Parked Dimmers” in the top right corner. In addition, any
parked channel or parameter will be indicated with a white channel number and a “P” will be visible
in the channel. When the parked channel or parameter is unparked, it reverts to the level the console
is currently providing, or its default value if there is no current instruction.
Park instructions are not subject to partition control. Any programmer/ operator may park and
unpark channels/ parameters as needed. Parked parameters set by radio focus remotes (RFR) will
automatically unpark when the associated device goes offline.
Channels, parameters and outputs can be parked and unparked from live and from the park display.
Park Display
You can access the park display by pressing [Park] [Park] or [Tab] [2][0]. The park display shows all
parked channels and parameter values on the top half of the screen and all parked addresses (dim-
mers) on the bottom half of the screen. Parked channels displayed on the top of the screen can be
displayed in the summary, table, and packed table views seen in live/blind by using the [Format] key.
When a channel intensity is parked, the parked value will be indicated in white text. When a channel
has a non-intensity parameter that is parked, that parameter will also be indicated with white text.
The display also provides detail of which user parked the channel and/or parameter (when multiple
users are on the system).
When an address is parked, it will appear in the bottom half of the park display. The address, parked
value, affected channels and parameters are indicated.
Parked Values in Live
Channels and parameters may be parked and unparked from the live display. Following are some
examples:
Note: To park a channel to a specific dimmer intensity level must be accomplished from
the Parked Channel display. Access the Parked Channel display by pressing [Tab] [2] [0] or
[Park] & [Park] twice.
Note: Parked values will only be displayed in the park display.
