Channel Data on Submasters
Channel data can be loaded directly
onto a submaster as follows:
Frog – Channel data for all 48 generic
channels. Full channel data only.
Fat Frog and Leap Frog - Channel
data for all 48 generic channels and
optionally all the fixture parameters.
Full or Partial channel data.
Bull Frog – channel data for all 96
generic channels and optionally the
fixture parameters. Full or Partial.
Full Channel Data
In Full Mode - All the generic channels
and fixture channels are recorded onto
the submaster.
Any generic or fixture channels which
are not specifically set will be recorded
at their current output values.
Partial Channel Data
In Partial Mode - All the generic
channels and fixture brightness
channels are recorded onto the
submaster.
The selected LTP attribute(s) of the
“tagged” fixtures are also recorded
onto the submaster.
Any generic channels which are not
specifically set will be recorded at their
current output values.
LTP channels for “untagged” fixtures
are not recorded.
Output
When channel data is loaded onto a
submaster, the output is determined by
the Fade Up, Fade Down, LTP Fade
and Colour, Beamshape and Position
actions defined for the submaster.
Loading Channel Data
1. Select an unprogrammed
submaster.
2. Set the levels of the generic
channels using the PRESET A
and PRESET B faders.
3. Set the fixture parameter levels to
the required values.
4. If programming in Partial mode,
ensure the required fixtures are
“tagged”.
5. If programming in Partial mode,
press and hold down the required
attribute button(s). For example,
to record just colour parameters,
hold down the COLOUR button.
6. Press the PROGRAM button to
store the current output levels.
If programming in Partial mode,
the tagged fixtures are
automatically untagged.
The Contents field changes to
Ch Data. For example:
Submaster: < 1–1 d>
Name:
Contents: Ch Data
Fade Up: <00:03.0>v
7. Move to the Fade Up field and
adjust value as required.
8. Move to the Fade Down field and
adjust value as required.
9. Move to the LTP Fade field and
adjust value as required.
10. Move to the Colour field and
adjust action as required.
11. Move to the Beamshape field and
adjust action as required.
12. Move to the Position field and
adjust action as required.
13. Move to the LTP Trig Lev field
and adjust value as required.
Overwriting Channel Data
1. Select a submaster loaded with
channel data.
2. Set the levels of the generic
channels using the PRESET A
and PRESET B faders.
3. Adjust the fixture parameter
values, as required.
4. If programming in Partial mode,
ensure the required fixtures are
“tagged”.
5. If programming in Partial mode,
press and hold down the required
attribute button(s). For example,
to record just colour parameters,
hold down the COLOUR button.
6. Press the PROGRAM button to
store the current output levels on
the submaster. A warning is
displayed on the LCD:
***** WARNING ******
Submaster programmed
Overwrite submaster?
{YES} {NO}
7. Press the ENTER key to select
the YES button. The contents of
the submaster are overwritten
with the current output values.
NOTES
Partial Channel Data
The output levels of generic channels and
fixture brightness parameters are always
recorded regardless of the fixture tagging and
attribute selection.
To record only the brightness levels of the
fixtures, all fixtures must be untagged prior
to pressing the PROGRAM button.
To record all the LTP attributes for the
tagged fixtures (colour, beamshape and
position) simply press the PROGRAM button.
