Change button functions
You can change the functions of the blue and grey buttons on the
console to give you quick access to the functions you want, such as
Preload, Stop and Go for chases, Tap Tempo and so on. This feature
is called Key Profiles (see page
199).
15.2 Programming features in Titan
There are some great programming features in Titan consoles which
previously were only found on the Diamond 4.
Fixture Overlap, Attribute Overlap
The overlap functions allow you to sequence the way a cue plays
back. Normally when you fire a cue, everything would move to its
programmed setting all together. The Fixture Overlap feature causes
each fixture to move to the new setting in sequence, giving some
amazing roll or peel effects without any programming. Attribute
overlap is a similar effect with different attributes. When “busking”,
palettes can also be applied with overlap.
Fixture Exchange and Copy Fixture
The Fixture Exchange function enables you to replace fixtures which
are used in your show with alternative fixtures, retaining important
elements such as cue times, shapes and legends. It is very useful for
touring shows and venues with a high turnover of events, allowing
you to cope with different house rigs or equipment availability.
You can copy fixtures you already have in your show. The new copy
will come complete with all the cues and palettes of the original
fixture you’ve copied.
Multiple times
The Titan software allows multiple timers for cues. This means in a
complicated show you can have lots of fades going on from different
cues each under the control of a different timer.
Playback priorities
You can configure how playbacks will behave if you turn on two
playbacks controlling the same fixture. For each playback, priority can
be set to Low, Normal, High or Very High. If a fixture is being
controlled by a playback and you turn on a playback of the same or
higher priority, then the new playback will take over. However, if the
new playback is set to lower priority than the first playback, the
fixture will not change.
This is useful if, for example, you’ve programmed looks using all your
fixtures, then you decide you want a couple of them to spotlight a
singer. If you set the Spotlight playback to be high priority, then
while it is active no other playback will affect the spotlight fixtures.
Undo/Redo
Undo/Redo buttons allow you to undo an action if you do something
and later regret it.
