Programming Memories
Frog - All memories are recorded as
Full memories. A level is stored in the
memory for each generic channel. Any
channels which are not specifically set
by the user are recorded at their
current output values.
Fat Frog, Leap Frog and Bull Frog
Memories can be programmed as Full
or Partial. The programming mode for
the desk is a user option in Desk Setup
(see chapter 6 for details).
Full Memories
When a scene memory or chase step
is programmed, the current output
levels of all generic channels and all
fixture channels (if applicable) are
recorded into the memory data.
When the memory is played back via
Playback X or using a submaster, the
data for all generic and all fixture
channels is output.
The generic and fixture brightness
channels are mixed in on a HTP
(highest takes precedence) basis.
The fixture colour, beamshape and
position channels are output on an LTP
(last takes precedence) basis.
Partial Memories
When a scene or chase step is
programmed, the current output levels
of all generic and fixture brightness
channels are recorded in the memory.
The selected LTP attribute(s) for the
“tagged” fixture(s) are also recorded
into the memory data.
When the memory is played back via
Playback X or a submaster, the
channel data for all the generic and
fixture brightness channels and the
selected LTP attribute(s) of the
“tagged” fixtures is output.
The generic and fixture brightness
channels are mixed on a HTP basis.
The fixture colour, beamshape and
position channels are output on an LTP
basis.
Programming Generics
The generic channel levels are set
using the PRESET A and PRESET B
faders on the front panel.
The levels on the PRESET A and
PRESET B faders are mixed with any
outputs resulting from Playback X and
the submasters on a highest takes
precedence (HTP) basis to give the
final value of each generic channel.
Two Preset Operation
The PRESET A or PRESET B faders
can be used to program generic
channels 1-24 (1-48 on Bull Frog ).
Channels 25-48 (49-96 on Bull Frog )
are taken as zero.
Wide Operation
The PRESET A faders are used to
program generic channels 1-24
(1-48 on Bull Frog).
The PRESET B faders are used to
program generic channels 25-48
(49-96 on Bull Frog ).
Programming Fixtures
Fixtures are programmed by selecting
the fixture(s), selecting the attribute,
and then adjusting the parameter
levels as required using the
corresponding control wheels.
Fixture Selection
The FIXTURE SELECTION buttons
are used to select and deselect fixtures
to control and program.
Each FIXTURE SELECTION button
contains two lights. The yellow light is
lit if the fixture is assigned. The red
light is lit when the fixture is selected.
Any combination of assigned fixtures
may be selected and programmed at
the same time.
Selecting Individual Fixtures
Individual fixtures can be selected by
pressing the FIXTURE SELECTION
buttons. The last fixture selected is
designated as the “Primary Fixture”.
Selecting Multiple Fixtures
To select a group of consecutive
fixtures in a single operation, press and
hold down a FIXTURE SELECTION
button and then press another
FIXTURE SELECTION button.
For example - press and hold down
FIXTURE SELECTION button 1 and
then press FIXTURE SELECTION
button 10. All the fixtures between 1
and 10 (inclusive) will be selected.
The “Primary Fixture”
The WHEEL LCD can show up to three
parameters for one fixture type at a
time. One of the selected fixtures is
designated as the “Primary Fixture”.
The last fixture selected is designated
as the “Primary Fixture”, and the red
light in its FIXTURE SELECTION
button flashes slowly to indicate this.
The fixture parameters displayed on
the WHEEL LCD for the currently
selected attribute and wheel group
refer to the “Primary Fixture”.
