Hard Reset Restarts luminaires and reloads operating system and cue data.
Hue The subjective appreciation of the dominant wavelength of a light source; the attribute of color
perception by which different parts of the spectrum are distinguished (red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, violet, purple).
HTP Highest Takes Precedence. During intensity conflicts, this setting causes luminaires to assume
the intensity value of the selected channel having the highest value.
Inactive A luminaire state (programmed via the [Out] button) in which no recorded data is provided for
that luminaire in a selected cue. When a luminaire is inactive (or out), it will not store data for
any parameter.
Independent A submaster mode which prohibits the associated submaster’s contents from being altered by
any other active submaster. Releasing the submaster from its independent state makes the
associated channels/parameters available to other control. Those channels will respond to the
next available instruction for which it has stored data. The intensity levels for channels on
independent submasters are affected by the setting of the Grand Master fader. Example: Press
and hold [Ind] while pressing [Choose] of required submaster.
Indexing Changes orientation of rotating gobo.
Intensity The amount of light emitted by a source, per second in a given direction within a cone of unit
solid angle. Also, the function of a luminaire related to the brightness of the beam as projected
on a surface, specified by intensity data.
Label An alpha-numeric identifier which can be stored with elements such as cues, effects, groups,
macros, templates, and selects.
Link A cue attribute which alters the next sequential cue in the Cue Sheet. The automatic activation
of the linked cue is dependent on the presence of a wait or trail time. Links can be made to
cues, effects, snapshots and macros.
Live Editing A console mode wherein all actions taken are actually executed by the luminaires, in real time,
on stage. Also see Preview Editing.
Load When a cue or effect is moved to a submaster’s pending file.
Loop An attribute that can be added to a cue, indicating the number of times a linked sequence of
cues is to execute.
Luminaire
State
A luminaire can be in one of four different states in a cue. When the luminaire is active, it has
recorded data for intensity and all other parameters. When marked, it has no intensity data, but
does have other parameter data. When the luminaire is zero, it has intensity data at 0% but
does not have other parameter data (opposite of marked). An inactive luminaire (out) has no
recorded data for any parameter.
Macro A series of command strings (button presses or display selections) that can be recorded for
automated playback, either through manual selection of the associated macro number, or from
automated activation through the Cue Sheet.
Manual
Assign
A submaster mode which allows a submaster to control the parameters of manually assigned
channels, as well as stored events.
