15. Using different Avolites consoles
If you are used to other Avolites consoles, this section will help you to
cope with the differences between each console.
Shows from a Titan console can be loaded into any
other Titan console, but not into the Pearl Expert
running Classic software, or a Diamond 4, or a Pearl
2000/2004/2008 console, because these consoles have
a different show file format.
15.1 The console controls
If you are coming to the Pearl Expert Titan from ‘classic’ Pearl Expert
or from the other Pearl consoles, be prepared for some differences
and some great new features.
LCD
The LCD has a streamlined new look. The softkeys have different
appearances for different functions (see page 24) and some things
have moved around. The LCD now displays fixture attributes (like
colours and gobos) as you change the wheels which is handy for
finding the attribute you want. An Intensity Grid shows which fixtures
are lit up.
You can lock any menu (to keep it active) by pressing the ML Menu
button. The ML Menu button only shows its menu at the top level
screen.
Monitor
The external monitor screen now uses configurable windows to show
you what the console is doing, including a Head-Up Display (HUD),
Visualiser, Playback View and Cue View. You can save different
window setups as a Workspace which can be instantly recalled.
Touch Wing
The optional Touch Wing gives you access to labelled touch buttons
for fixtures, palettes, shapes and attributes. It also has three control
wheels for attribute setting and 10 buttons for recording key macros.
Cues and Chases on preset faders
You can now store cues (memories) and chases on the preset faders
as well as on the playback faders. This gives you instant fingertip
access to an enormous number of effects.
Cues and Chases on the touch screen
In addition to the playback faders, you can store cues (memories)
and chases on the touch screen using the Playbacks window. For
playbacks which don’t need a fader, this gives you instant fingertip
access to an enormous number of effects.
