To begin operating in 2-scene Manual Mode:
1. Turn the Blackout switch to the OFF position.
LED will turn off.
2. Press [F1] (Figure 43) [Enter]. This configures
the XY Cross Fader for 2-scene preset opera-
tion.
Note that in the Cross Fader Display, the Cue is
set for X as Scn1 (Scene 1) and Y as Scn2
(Scene 2) for the Faders. Both the X and Y Fader
operate by being physically moved up or down so
that the times of the XY Fader are MAN. Manual
Cue action does not have a TYPE and cannot be
assigned a screen NAME; the slots of the XY
Fader remain blank. The LEV is FL for the Y
Fader and blank for the X Fader.
2-scene operation is a strong teaching tool be-
cause it requires that the board operator learn the
timing and rhythms of the production in order to
match the cross fade to the action. For the pur-
pose of discussion, only Fade Handles 1-24 will
be used as all 2-scene Preset versions of the Bi-
jou contain a minimum of 24 Fade Handles.
GRANDMASTER
To see set levels on stage, the Blackout switch
must be OFF (LED OFF) and the Grandmaster
faded to its full position. Except for Parked dim-
mers, the Grandmaster is in proportional control
of all Channel/Fader outputs from the control
console. It can be used to do fade to black Cues
for set changes and for blackouts at the end of a
scene. At this time, the Grandmaster is turned to
its full position.
CHANNEL FADER OPERATION:

The Bijou has 2 rows of Fade Handles, one
above the other (Figure . In 2-scene operation,
