? EXAMPLE: To unpark all parked dimmers, from the Stage display
only:
(UNPARK) [ENTER]
Note that only dimmers can be parked. Although you can select a group of
dimmers to park by specifying their patched channel(s) in the Park command,
the channels continue to read in the Stage display. When dimmers are parked,
their corresponding channels are not parked. You can adjust the channel
levels and the Stage display shows them at the new levels, but the actual
lighting level on stage remains at the parked dimmer levels. If two dimmers
are patched to the same channel and you park one of the dimmers, the other
dimmer continues to be controlled by the channel level in the Stage display.
Any cues, groups, or submasters that you record contain the channel levels that
are shown in the Stage display, even if the dimmers assigned to some or all of
the channels are parked at other levels.
?
BASIC RULE: Dimmers can be parked; channels cannot. You may
use channels to make a dimmer list for the purpose of parking the dimmers, but
only the dimmers are parked.
?
BASIC RULE: Cues, groups, and submasters record channels, not
dimmers. Channel levels are recorded as shown in the Stage display
regardless of the parked status of any dimmers that are patched to them.
Viewing Parked Dimmers
Whenever any dimmers are parked, an indication is given in the Stage display.
In the Status Bar, “Dimmers Parked” appears in white, to the left of the “Next
Cue” indicator. This is to remind you that dimmers may be “locked on” and
cannot be taken out with the Grandmaster.
In the Patch: By Channel and Patch: By Dimmer displays, parked dimmers are
shown with a pink “P:XX” in the “Level” column, where “XX” is the current
parked level.
