clicked again. A typical use of the bump buttons is to 'flash' fixture intensities manually to the beat of
the music. The bump button functions may also be assigned to keyboard hotkeys. Note that bumping
a fader will overwrite any level set by remote input (for example levels set by DMX in).
The Sync Buttons
The Sync buttons may be used to synchronize 2 or more sub-masters. When sync is enabled for
multiple faders, the faders will synchronize their levels as soon as the level of one fader is changed.
Sync has no effect on faders under remote control.
Sub Master Modes
The sub-masters may operate one of in 4 different modes.
Master Proportional mode - in this mode the master level modifies the sub-master just as fixture
intensity is modified by the Grand Master. This means that if a fixture is programmed at 75%
intensity, and it belongs to an intensity group at 50% and the Grand master is at 30% the resulting
intensity will be 75% x 50% x 30% = 11.25%. This is the default setting
Master LoTP Mode - in this mode, resulting intensity is calculated by comparing the Grand Master
level with the Sub Master level. The lowest is used to calculate the resulting intensity value (lowest
take priority).
Master HTP Mode - same as LoTP mode, but in this case the higher value is used (highest take
priority). This mode may be useful for fixtures that should never dim out completely (e.g. front lights).
Master No Effect - In this mode the sub master is not affected by the Grand Master at all.
Auto Fade out and in
The Fade Out and Fade In provides a tool to automatically create timed fades on the Grand Master.
It is also usually obtains a smoother fade than trying to fade directly on the screen with the mouse.
Note that the Fade In button is only enabled when a fade out or blackout is currently active (since it
needs a level to fade in from). Likewise the Fade Out is not active as long as a blackout or fade out is
active.
Use the drop down box to select between different times for the fade out/in action (from 0.5 second to
10 seconds) - selecting another the time will not affect the currently active fade (if any).
Fading in from a blackout
It is possible to fade in from a blackout, however this may not work on all types of fixtures as the fade
uses the intensity function of the fixture, while blackout normally uses the shutter function to obtain
the blackout as fast as possible. For this reason fading in from a blackout will not work on, for
example, a Roboscan 218 or Mac 600.
The auto fade out and fade in functions may be assigned to keyboard hotkeys.
Blackout and Restore
The blackout / restore buttons duplicate the function of the single blackout/restore button on the
fixture tool bar. See also blackout/restore
