Exclusive - All other channels will be set to zero and only the channels in this group will be applied.
Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) - When a group value is set with HTP behavior the output on the channel is
determined by what has a higher value. If the value set in the group is higher than the value in the channel then the
group will control the channel. If the value in the channel is higher than the group value it will remain unchanged.
Independent - Channels in an "Independent" group will override all other requests to modify the channel value. As
soon as the group level is above 0, channels within this group will be controlled by the group values.
Inhibit - With an inhibit group the value masters all channels that are in the group. The output value of the channel
will be scaled by the value of the inhibit group it belongs to.
Hue LTP - This behavior type will only work with fixtures that have color mixing capabilities. As the submaster is
raised from 0 to 100% the output generated will be a position in the HUE color space between 0 and 360 degrees.
Subtract - Similar to the "Build" behavior this option will subtract the value set by the group from the output value of
the channel and attributes.
Submaster
To assign a submaster to a channel group, enter a valid submaster number (1 - 100,000) into this field. Once entered,
the submaster will automatically be assigned and become active.
Submasters are split into pages of up to 100 possible submasters. The number of pages and the number of submaster
per page can be defined in the system properties. If the system is defined with 100 submasters per page then use the
page number as the first digit followed by the submaster you want to assign. To access the submasters the first page
(page 0) simply enter the number between 1 and 100. For the second page (page 1) enter submasters 101 through to
200.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: The value of the group will not change until the next time the submaster changes. To learn
how to use a submaster once it has been set up, see "Submaster Options" on page 155.
Selection Shortcut
The selection shortcut is a convenient way to select fixtures in the channel display by pressing a shortcut button. In
this operation only the channel numbers are used as the selection criteria. Nothing is changed in the group -
specifically the group value remains unchanged.
To assign a selection shortcut to a channel group, enter a valid shortcut number into this field. Once entered the
shortcut will automatically be assigned and become active. There are 100 shortcuts per page and 100 pages
(beginning at 0) of shortcuts. Use the page number as the first digit followed by the submaster you want to assign. To
access the submasters the first page (page 0) simply enter the number between 1 and 99 (note that shortcut 0 is
reserved). For the second page (page 1) enter submasters 100 through to 199.
Toggle Shortcut
A toggle shortcut can be thought of as a switch in the system that turns a lighting state on or off. When the assigned
shortcut is first pressed the channel group will be set to 100% (full) and the channels and attributes will go to their
respective values. Pressing the toggle shortcut again will cause the group to turn off (0 value).
Changing the value of the group between pressing the toggle shortcut will not change its behavior. If for example the
group is turned on by a toggle shortcut and the value to then changed to 40% clicking the toggle shortcut will cause
the group to turn off.
To assign a toggle shortcut to a channel group, enter a valid shortcut number into this field. Once entered the shortcut
will automatically be assigned and become active.
Apply Shortcut
Pressing an apply shortcut will apply the groups setting to the channels and fixtures using the fade time set in the
group. When using apply shortcuts the ability to set individual attributes and properties to an "Off" state is very
important. For example, if you setup a channel group with pan and tilt information set for each fixture and have all
other attributes (dimmer, color, etc) set to off then channel groups become a position preset that can be called up at
