Capacity
The 301 can record up to 144 cues for a full universe of DMX. 12 pages at 12 cues per
page. (A universe is defined as 512 DMX outputs)
More that one universe can be captured but that requires multiple units. (See the Multiple
Unit section for more information.)
Changing Modes
To change modes, hold down BOTH the up and down keys
simultaneously for 3 seconds. A list will appear on the LCD
screen.
Navigate with the up and down buttons to pick the appropriate
mode. Notice the flashing cursor on the current selection. When
the cursor is on the appropriate mode, press Confirm to accept.
The first time the console is powered up, it defaults to back up mode.
Screen Menus for Back up
Main Screen -
This is the back up mode’s main screen menu.
Information on this screen is as follows…
Time – console’s internal time clock.
Page – shows the active page for back up cues.
C-Page – (Current Page) this shows the console’s current back up
page. (XX indicates there is no content on last actioned fader.)
Ch – this indicates the channel that had the last action.
Level – this indicates the last action channel’s level.
XFtm – Timed Cross Fade. This allows the operator to change the default cross fade time
using the +/- keys.
<Ms> - this lets the operator know that the console is in master mode rather than slave
mode. With a single 301, this should always be Ms.
Menu – allows the operator to adjust setup options and delete items specific to the current
mode.
Note: If the console displays <Ms-f> this means there are more than one console in the back up chain
have been set to master mode. Check the master/slave switch and make sure only one console is set
as master and the rest as slave.
