ETC Element 2 User Manual

Submasters 411
When non-intensity parameters on a intensity master submaster have been marked using the
bump button, the LED on its bump button will blink to tell you that the non-intensity
parameters have been marked.
Pressing the bump button for an intensity master submaster that is currently bumped will
release the non-intensity parameters using the bump button timing. Its bump button LED will
also be turned off.
Note: For channels that have been set to GM Exempt in Patch, Intensity Master
control will not impact the intensity of those channels. See Attribute Section (on
page178) for more information.
HTP
Intensity playback behavior can be set to HTP (highest takes precedence) or LTP (latest takes
precedence). Non-intensity parameters are always LTP. Eos defaults all submasters to HTP. For
more information on HTP and LTP see HTP vs. LTP (on page9) .
Restore
Submasters can be placed into restore modes of minimum or background, which is the
default. When a submaster is in the restore to background mode, the restore column of the
submaster list display will be blank. When in minimum mode, 'Min' will display in the restore
column.
The restore mode of background means that when the submaster is returned to zero, control
will be restored to the background value, such as another submaster or a cue.
The restore mode of minimum means that when the submaster is faded down, control does
not go to the previous background state but to the parameters’ minimum value.
Priority
There are 10 levels of priority for submasters. 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. The default
priority level is 4.
Shielded
Submasters can be shielded, which means that their content is automatically made exclusive
and can't be controlled by anything other than that submaster and park, including by manual
control. Shielded has a higher priority than 10.
Channels stored to shielded submasters will display in yellow with a superscript ‘s’ beside it.
If channel parameters stored to shielded submasters were previously stored to cues or other
submasters, those instructions will be ignored on playback.
If the same channels are assigned to more than one shielded submaster, control of those
channels will be shared on either a LTP or HTP basis depending on the settings for the
submasters.
Background
Submasters can have their background states disabled. Background states are enabled by
default. When enabled, the content of the submaster will act as a background or previous
state for other cues and submasters.
When a submaster has its background state disabled, a “D” will be displayed in the Submaster
List background column.
