? EXAMPLE: To park dimmers at their current level in the Patch:
Parked Dimmers or Stage displays:
(PARK) [DIMMER] [# list] [ENTER]
- or -
(PARK) [# list] [ENTER] (Parks all dimmers
patched to the specified channels
at their current levels.)
? EXAMPLE: To park dimmers at a specified level in the Patch:
Parked Dimmers or Stage displays:
(PARK) [DIMMER] [# list] [@] [level] [ENTER]
- or -
(PARK) [# list] [@] [level] [ENTER] (Parks all dimmers
patched to the specified channels
at the specified level.)
? EXAMPLE: To park all dimmers patched to all channels in a specific
cue, group, or submaster in the Patch: Parked Dimmers or Stage displays:
(PARK) [CUE, GROUP, or SUB] [# list] [ENTER]
- or -
(PARK) [CUE, GROUP, or SUB] [# list] [@] [level] [ENTER]
You can construct dimmer lists for the purpose of parking dimmers much like
you can construct channel lists. Simply use the [+], [-], and [>] keys to
construct a normal channel list and make a command to park them at their
current or a specified level.
? EXAMPLE: To unpark dimmers in the Patch: Parked Dimmers or
Stage displays:
(UNPARK) [DIMMER] [# list] [ENTER]
- or -
(UNPARK) [# list] [ENTER] (Unparks all dimmers
patched to the specified
channel list.)
If you do not specify a dimmer or channel list to unpark, the console uses a
default list. In the Patch: Parked Dimmers subdisplay, the command unpatches
the current parked dimmer (shown in reverse video):
? EXAMPLE: To unpark the current parked dimmer in the Patch:
Parked Dimmers subdisplay:
(UNPARK) [ENTER]
In the Stage display, the same command unpatches all parked dimmers.
