Basic Manual Control 171
Example:
1. [Group] [1] {Highlight} [Enter] - places channels 1 through 5 in highlight.
2. [Next] - specifies channel 1.
•
1 is in the highlight value.
•
2 - 5 are in the lowlight value.
•
All other channels go to the defined rem dim level.
You may assign both a highlight and a lowlight preset in setup (see Manual Control (on
page141) ). Any preset may be used. Channels with only one parameter included in the preset
assigned to Highlight and Lowlight will not reset other parameters back to their default highlight
values (see above).
On a command line with a channel selection, you can use [Shift] & {Highlight} to go into
Highlight mode and send the selected channels to the default Highlight setting. This command
will self terminate the command line.
If you just use {Highlight}, the command line will be cleared.
Lowlight Preset
The {Lowlight Preset}, which is set in Setup> User> Manual Control >Lowlight Preset, is used to
define the behavior of specified but not selected channels while using [Next]/[Last] in highlight
mode. When in highlight mode, [channel list] or [Group] [n] [Enter] [Next] will select the
channel list or group and isolate the first channel.
For example, {Highlight} [Enter] [6] [Thru] [1][5] [Enter] [Next] specifies channels 6 through 15
but channel 6 is the only channel selected. 6 is at the highlight level and 7 through 15 are at
their lowlight levels. Pressing [Next] again will put channel 7 at the highlight level and 6 plus 8
through 15 at their lowlight levels. If there is no lowlight preset, these channels are not affected.
Temporary Highlight Level
The highlight preset can be overridden by setting a temporary highlight level. Using {Highlight}
[At] [5][0] [Enter] overrides the highlight preset and sets the highlight level to 50. Non-intensity
parameters are not affected and will use the default highlight setting or the highlight preset.
The temporary highlight level will remain until {Highlight} is pressed again or the channel is no
longer selected.
Highlight/Lowlight Rem Dim
In addition to the highlight and lowlight presets, there is also a setting for {Highlight Rem Dim} in
Setup. See Manual Control (on page141) . When enabled and highlight mode is active, the
intensity for all non-selected channels are automatically set to the Rem Dim value established in
setup, if that Rem Dim value is lower than the channel’s current intensity. This can be used to
help further isolate the channels you are working with in Highlight Mode
If you do not wish to enable Rem Dim globally in Setup, you can specify a rem dim on the
command line for temporary use. Rem Dim will use the {Live Rem Dim}, as specified in setup.
See Manual Control (on page141) .
