[Time] Key
Pressing and holding [ [About] & [Time]] allows you to view discrete timing data behind any channel
parameter. [Time] exposes channel or parameter specific timing for any channels in the current cue.
The first value is the delay time. If “--” is displayed, there is no delay. The value to the right of the / is
the transition time.
You can lock this mode by pressing [About] & [Time]. When in display time mode, “Display Timing”
will display in the upper left of the live display. To exit this mode, press [About] again.
[Data] Key
Pressing and holding [Data] allows you to view the values behind any referenced or marked data.
[Data] exposes the next lower reference level. So if you view a palette reference and press [Data], the
absolute data will be displayed instead. If you are viewing a preset, absolute or palette data will be dis-
played, depending on what is contained in the preset.
You can lock this mode by pressing [Data] twice. When in display reference values mode, “Data
Latched” will display in the upper left of the live display. To exit this mode, press [Data] again
View Reference Labels
Pressing and holding [About] & [Label] toggles the view to show reference labels or numbers depend-
ing on what display setting is being used. See Show ReferenceLabels (on page149)
Live and Blind Displays
The Live/ Blind display is open as tab 1. This display cannot be closed. Multiple instances of Live/ Blind
can be opened.
When in Live, the data displayed represents the data being sent from the console at that moment. In
other words, the parameter data that is “live” on stage. When you edit data in live, those changes
will become active and visible on stage as soon as the command line is terminated, unless auto play-
back has been disabled in Setup. See Auto Playback (on page144) for more information.
When in Blind, the data displayed represents data from the record target you choose to view (cues,
presets, palettes, and so on). When you edit data in Blind, changes will not automatically appear on
stage, since the data you are modifying is not live.
While in blind, the background color of the displays will be blue, the title bar will be bright blue, and
the word “Blind” will display in the top left corner of each monitor. You can click on “Blind” to go
back to live.
For more information on Live and Blind, see Live and Blind (on page17)
Using [Format]
Live / Blind has multiple formats. When first opened, it opens in its default view, which is the Table
View (on page47). The default view can be set in the Live and Blind Configuration Menu (on
page54) . When the default format has been changed, those new settings will be used whenever the
display is changed back to that format.
Press [Format] to rotate through any available formats.
