Chapter 17: Advanced Submaster Operation
Software Version 3.05
187
? EXAMPLE: Assume channel 1 is assigned to Inhibitive
submaster 10, and channel 1 is set to 80% in cue 1. With the submaster 10
fader set at 50%, channel 1 in cue 1 cannot read any higher than 40%, as long
as the Inhibitive submaster fader remains at 50%.
?
BASIC RULE: An Inhibitive submaster "masters" all channels
assigned to it, much like the way the Grandmaster fader works for all channels.
When a submaster is in Inhibitive mode, the symbol "**" appears under the
affected channels in the Submaster display instead of channel levels.
? EXAMPLE: To create an Inhibitive submaster in the Submaster
display:
1. (SEL. SUB) [#] [ENTER] (Selects sub #.)
2. (SUB TYPE) (Reveals Sub Type soft
keys.)
3. (INHIB SUB) (Sub assigned as
inhibitive. All channels assigned to
the Normal sub are now inhibited.)
4. [# list] [@] [level #] [ENTER] (Channels in list comprise
the sub.)
You can assign inhibited channels to cues, submasters, groups and effects, but
their level assignments will not read in the Stage display or live on stage unless
the Inhibitive submaster is activated. With the Inhibitive submaster fader in
the zero position, its channels are shown as captured with no levels when they
are assigned levels in the Stage display with the keypad. In all blind displays
(Preview, Tracksheet, Group, etc.) the inhibited channels are not inhibited, and
are shown at their assigned levels.
?
HINT: You can use an Inhibitive submaster to assign channels which
are inhibited from reading at a level, for example, "one-time use" circuits for
special lights or practicals. Special effect devices such as fog machines or
flash pots might also be used on an Inhibitive submaster with Non-Dim
dimmers.
?
HINT: You can also use Inhibitive submasters to "sneak out"
instruments that get knocked out of focus or instruments that are intermittent.
Inhibitive subs may be pre-assigned as "sneak out" subs and left at Full.
Channels can then be loaded to the sneak out sub as necessary, and faded out
as the submaster is brought to zero.
