PLAYBACK Area of the desk that can replay recorded Memories or
Chases. It contains Playback Channels recalled using
Playback Faders and Playback ADD and SWOP
buttons.
PRESET FADERS A group of Faders that can be set manually to output a
value to a desk Channel.
PRESET FOCUS A term used to describe a referenced pre-defined state
for an Attribute that can be recalled whenever required
during programming. Each Fixture may be different in
the Preset Focus, and the levels can be edited. This is
how it differs from a TABLE. On Avolites desks each
Preset Focus can be named, and recalled with a single
button press.
PROGRAM Desk mode in which programming functions are
enabled, but System Software is protected. See RUN,
SYSTEM.
PROGRAMMER The part of the desk which contains Channel
information prior to recording.
REDUCTION FADER
Feature that enables the output of a Dimmer Channel
to be temporarily limited to a defined value.
RUN Desk mode in which all Playback functions are
enabled, but all programming functions disabled.
SCREEN One of the pages of information displayed on the LCD
Display.
SCRIPT FILE SYSTEM
System that allows Playback to be automated and
controlled by Timecode.
SELECTED A Fixture that is under manual control.
SEQUENCE See CHASE.
SHAPE A preprogrammed effect available which is applied to
an Attribute. It can then be customised and stored in a
Memory.
SHARED PRESET FOCUS
A Preset Focus in which information is only stored for
one Fixture, but is available to all Fixtures of that type.
SIMPLE STEP A Chase Step which does not have Individual Step
Times programmed into it, and hence will use Global
Chase times. See COMPLEX STEP, GLOBAL CHASE
TIMES, INDIVIDUAL STEP TIMES.
SOFTBUTTONS Buttons with different functions which are defined by
the markings on the Screen. In this manual the
Softbuttons are always in bold, with the legend on the
Screen [in square brackets].
STACK See CHASE.
