Table 4.1, Console Channel / Dimmer Capacities
Number of Channels and Dimmers
The maximum number of control channels and dimmer channels available is
determined by the model of Encore console you are using. (See Table 4.1.)
You may select a lesser number of channels and dimmers by using the (# OF
CHANS) soft key or the (# OF DIMRS) soft key under the (SYSTM SETUP)
soft key. These commands address the console globally, reducing the number
of channels shown in all displays.
? NOTE: The number of channels and dimmers may be customized
without clearing memory. If you reduce the number of channels or dimmers,
and restore them later, the previous patch assignments will be remembered. If
you increase the number of channels or dimmers in a show that was read from
disk, any previously assigned Non-Dim or Parked dimmers will be
remembered, but patch assignments will not be remembered. See Chapter 5,
Setting Up The Soft Patch.

1. (SYSTM SETUP)
2. (# OF CHANS) [200] [ENTER]
