Blind Function
With Blind turned on, any change made in the programmer will not be output live. This enables you to
prepare a look for later use or make changes to a different cue that is not yet played back.
Solo Function
With Solo turned on, only selected fixtures will have dimmer values output on stage. All other, not
selected, fixtures will output the values assigned in the “Blackout” column within the library on their
parameters. Solo may be combined with highlight.
Solo may also be turned on and off by pressing the [Infinity] + [Highlight] keys at the same time.
Timing
Timing will switch the programmer into individual timing mode, which allows to assign and individual fade
or delay time to each parameter of each fixture. This may be used to create staggered fade in looks in
cues.
Please see the section “Working with individual Timings” on page 130 for more info.
Link Values
Link Values is a convenience function that, by default, will touch all parameters within the Color or
Position attribute group as soon as one of the other attributes in the attribute group is touched. In
example: If you touch the Cyan attribute’s value, the console will automatically touch Magenta and
Yellow as well. The same holds true for Hue and Saturation as well as Red, Green and Blue as well as Pan
and Tilt. This is to make sure you are not seeing any unwanted effects. This button is only shown when the
programmer is in Value mode.
However, attribute linking may be turned of, if desirable. A good example would be independent control
of Red, Green and Blue by using different faders.
RAW Val.
The RAW Values button will show the raw DMX Values being output instead of the captions of values that
are defined in the library. If the value is output by a preset, the preset name will always be shown.
This button is only shown when the programmer is in Value mode.
Crossfading the programmer content on-stage
Quick manual crossfades during a live show without the neeed to pre-programing anything can be
achieved with a special Master Fader type.
To make use of this function, assign a Master Fader called "Programmer Live Fade". This Fader allows to
select a Fade time that will be used when values and presets are loaded into the Programmer or when a
Attribute Value is set using the commandline.
The Live Fade Value define the fade time the Programmer Content is crossfaded with. Programmer Live
can also be used in combination with the Blind function.
For more information on how to assign masters, please see “Linking a Global Master (Speed and Fade
Time Masters)” on page 199.
