the bump button, the timing associated with the up/down fades will be used to determine the mark
time. If you move the fader from zero and didn’t mark, the lights will mark in the upfade time
associated with the submaster.
When the non-intensity parameters have been marked using the bump button, the LED on the
button will pulse to show that the parameters have been marked. Pressing the bump button will
then release the non-intensity parameters using the bump button timing. The LED will also turn off.
To toggle a submaster between a “Proportional” or “I-Master” fader:
• [Sub] [8] {Fader} [Enter]
HTP vs. LTP
Submasters can be set to be either Highest-Takes-Precedence (HTP) or Latest-Takes-Precedence
(LTP). This setting is applied to intensity only. Non-intensity parameters are always LTP. Element
defaults all submasters to HTP. For more information on HTP and LTP see HTP vs. LTP, page 224.
To toggle a submaster between HTP and LTP:
• [Sub] [6] {HTP/LTP} [Enter]
Exclusive Submasters
Submasters can be placed in exclusive mode. This prohibits storing the contribution of the
submaster into any record targets. In essence, this acts as a fixed [-] [Sub] [Record] command.
To place a submaster in exclusive mode:
• [Sub] [5] {Exclusive} [Enter]
Independent
You can also set a submaster to independent, allowing submaster values to remain unaffected by
other submasters or playback fader instructions. They will, however, still be impacted by manual
control, grandmaster, blackout, park instructions, or other play faders and submasters also on
independent.
Inhibitive subs can not be set as independent.
To set a submaster to independent, press the {Priority} softkey. {Priority} toggles through three
options, Independent, Shield, and No Priority. No Priority is the default. The priority column of the
submaster list display will be blank if set to No Priority.
Shield
Submasters can be shielded. The content of a shielded submaster is automatically
made exclusive and can't be controlled by anything other than that submaster and
park, including by manual control.
To set a submaster to shielded, press the {Priority} softkey. {Priority} toggles through
three options, Independent, Shield, and No Priority. No Priority is the default. The
priority column of the submaster list display will be blank if set to No Priority.
Channels stored to shielded submasters will display in yellow with a superscript ‘s’ beside it.
If channel parameters stored to shielded submasters were previously stored to cues or other
submasters, those instructions will be ignored on playback.
If the same channels are assigned to more than one shielded submaster, control of those channels
will be shared on either a LTP or HTP basis depending on the settings for the submasters.
