Setting Up the Desk
Now you’ve grasped the basics of the desk, it’s time to venture into the Setup area of the desk. Setup is used for all
of the major functions on the desk, such as clearing out the current show, loading in a new one, or adding moving lights
to your show.
To get into Setup, press the SETUP key. The Setup Window is displayed on the monitor screen with the Patch option
selected as default:
Figure 19 – Setup mode, Patch Screen
Setup gives you access to the core settings for the desk such as the patch, default fade times and output settings.
As such you shouldn't normally need to enter the Setup area during a show.
It is, however also used for saving and loading of show les and updating the desk software, so you should be familiar
with it even if you are only using generic lights.
