Labeling a Submaster
Submasters can be labeled using the [Label] key.
•
[Sub] [6] [Label] [xxxx] [Enter] - labels submaster 6.
•
[Sub] [6] [Label] [Label [Enter] - removes the label.
Note: If you would like your label to word wrap, use || to create a line break
between words.
Loading Submasters
Faders can also be loaded with cues, presets, or palettes. You can convert an empty fader to a
submaster without configuring it in fader configuration display. Any fader can be configured
and loaded with a submaster if:
•
the fader is not configured
-or-
•
the fader is configured as a playback but has no cue list loaded to it
-or-
•
the fader is configured as a submaster, but that submaster is empty.
Regardless of the fader configuration, if the above conditions are met, the fader can be loaded
with the submaster or target specified on the command line.
If data already occupies the fader, that fader must be unloaded before another target can be
loaded. See Releasing Content From a Submaster (on page417)
•
[Sub] [5] [Load] - loads submaster 5 to the fader associated with the load button.
•
[Int Palette] [1] [Load] - loads intensity palette 1 to the fader associated with the chosen
load button.
•
[Cue] [5] [Load] - loads cue 5 to the fader associated with the chosen load button.
Using Bump Button Timing With Submasters
Each submaster bump can have three different timing values: Up fade, Dwell, and Down fade
(see Submaster Properties (on page409) ). The default timing is set so that the bump functions
as an “on” flash key for additive submasters and an “off” flash key for inhibitive submasters.
Effects on submasters will follow submaster timing, unless timing has been placed in the effect
itself.
Note: At any time, the fader can be used to manually override fade progression or a
submaster triggered with time.
To add bump button timing live:
•
[Sub] [8] [Time] [3] [Time] [4] [Time] [3] [Enter] - adds a 3 second up fade, 4 second
dwell and 3 second down fade to submaster 8.
•
[Sub] [2] [Time] [Time] {Manual} [Time] [3] [Enter] - adds a manual dwell time and a 3
second down fade time to submaster 2. When the bump is pressed and held, it will flash
on and stay on until the button is released. It will then begin the down fade.
