I'm not going into to many details about this with view, but I'll give you the highlights.
The background of each address becomes more green as the value gets higher.
In the right corner of the title bar there's a button that expands each cell it not only show the value but also what
the channel is.
The view scrolls to the selected fixture. Selected fixtures are shown with a yellow frame.
Parked channels have a blue background. And DMX channels being under the control of the DMX tester have a red
background. We'll look at parking and testing later in this chapter.
It can look like this:
If you press and hold the key, then it will show the DMX address instead of the value.
Ok, enough about the DMX view.
Back to Blind
Try to have the following views visible: Fixture view in Symbol mode, Fixture view in sheet mode and a DMX view.
Run cue 1 on the main cue list. This will turn on fixture 5 and 7 at 40% or a DMX value of 102.
Then select fixture one and give it a value of 50%. Now this should be visible on all screens. In both Fixture views
and in the DMX view (a value of 127). Then toggle blind mode. Notice that you can still see the values in your
programmer in the fixture view in sheet mode, but the symbol mode will turn the fixture to 0%. Just like the DMX
view - here the value also disappears.
So programmer values can only be seen in the fixture view in sheet mode. The other views shows you the actual
output.
Notice that if you toggle blind again then your programmer values goes active again. This can be used to preload a
look in your programmer and exit the blind to put it live on stage.
Now you might be thinking "That's nice, but then it just snaps on, that might not look to good". And you are right.
Let me introduce you to the Program Time Master. This is a special master that can be used to change the timing
of the programmer. Press Store Time and then one of the keys associated with executor number 4.
Now try to move the new fader up till it says 2.5 seconds and toggle the Blind key again. Notice how the values
fades in and out. The two keys associated with the fader allows you to toggle the Program Time on and off without
