Some words explained:
•
SCENE:
A scene is a set of different fader values that describes a certain condition
at a given moment.
Example
: You have set the faders on the SM-1612 to put a fixture in a certain
direction, with a certain gobo and a certain color. The combination of these different
fader values is called “SCENE”
•
BANK
: On the SM-1612 there are 8 scene buttons. Under each scene button a
scene can be stored. To have a total of 240 scene memories you need to put these
scenes in banks. That is why you have 30 banks with each 8 scenes: 30 x 8 = 240
scenes.
Example:
BANK1 (scene1 ; scene2 ; scene3 ; … scene8)
BANK2 (scene1 ; scene2 ; scene3 ; … scene8)
BANK3 (scene1 ; scene2 ; scene3 ; … scene8)
…
BANK30 (scene1 ; scene2 ; scene3 ; … scene8)
• CHASE
: On the SM-1612 there are 6 programmable chases. A chase is a
succession of scenes. This succession of scenes can be programmed by the user in
any order. One chase contains a maximum of 240 scenes.
•
SPEED
: time between 2 scenes in a chase running in automatic mode.
• FADE TIME
: This is the amount of time it takes for a fixture (or fixtures) to move from
one place to another.
•
