10.5.4 Removing playbacks
Playbacks can be removed in the Playbacks Window as per removing of any Windows item.
10.6 Wing Playbacks Pages
Each wing supports 24 playbacks divided into two rows of 12 playbacks. Each row of playbacks has
separate NEXT PAGE and PREV PAGE buttons.
This is a very powerful feature as it allows the playbacks to be split into separate sections without
forcing all the playbacks to be on the same page.
This provides significant flexibility to how shows are played back – for example one section of a wing
can be used to control par lamps whilst another could be used to control intelligent heads. Changing the
Page of the par lamps would not change the Page of the heads.
By default the page buttons on the main section affect all playbacks whilst the buttons on each wing
row only affect that row. If you plan to operate a wing section separately then you can avoid the main
page buttons affecting that wing section. In the Setup Window, select VIEW SYSTEM, VIEW
WINGS.
For each wing section you can specify which page buttons the section is tied to. To operate a section
independently of any other page buttons set the tie to be itself. For example, to operate the upper
section of Wing 1 independently set the upper bank tie to Wing 1 upper.
You can also tie multiple wing banks together to use one set of page buttons. Thus if you want both
sections of a wing to operate off 1 set of buttons, then you can configure the ties to do this.
When any NEXT PAGE or PREV PAGE buttons are pressed the LCD displays temporarily change to
indicate the current page number.
10.7 Default Cue Stacks
Cue Stacks can be made to appear on all pages of a Playback. To use this feature, record a Cue Stack
on Page 1 and then in the Playbacks Window set "Default Cue Stack" to "On" for the selected Playback.
The Cue Stack on Page 1 then appears on any Pages which do not have a Cue Stack assigned.
10.8 Group Masters
Playback faders can be used to control groups of channels – you can assign a fader to be a master for
intensities, FX size or FX speed for a specified set of heads.
To make a Group Master you record a single Cue onto a Playback that contains the attributes that you
wish to control - for example, to make a Group Intensity Master:
Record a cue with the channels that you wish to control - the level of the channels can be any level as
long as the channel is in the programmer. Then set the Cue Stack option "Fader is an Intensity Master".
Activate the playback (press GO or raise the fader) and now it acts as a Group Intensity Master. Press
RELEASE to stop the master having any effect.
