Storing and Using Submasters 311
Proportional Master
When a submaster is proportional, the slider will control all contents of the submaster (intensity
and non-intensity parameters) when moved from zero. When a proportional sub is returned
toward zero, channel will be returned to their previous level.
The bump button can be used to bump all values to their recorded levels in the submaster, or, by
assigning timing values, fade the contents of the submaster up or out. Element defaults to
submasters as proportional.
Intensity master
When set to intensity master, the slider will control intensity only. The bump button can be used
to preset (mark) non-intensity parameters stored to the submaster. If the bump is not pressed
before the slider is moved, the slider will also fade the non-intensity-parameters to their
recorded values. Once the non-intensity-parameters are at their end state, the slider only
controls intensity. When dropped toward zero, controlled intensities will be faded toward zero.
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} Display and
Settings (on page105) 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. Element defaults all submasters to HTP.
For more information on HTP and LTP see
HTP vs. LTP (on page9)
.
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
Note: Priority was previously called Independent.
There are 10 levels of priority for submasters. 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. The default
priority level is 4.
