Submaster tool
Description
With a Submaster tool the channels of the equipment can be controlled directly. These are arbitrarily many banks(benches) possibly to 12 Submastern each. The banks (benches) are displayed on the left page for the choice. Every Submaster (the elements on the right page) has a Fader, a flashbutton as well as a judging display for the assigned channel.
The Submasters are moved synchronously automatically if another control, such as Master, or
graphical stage overlays are altered.
Operating controls
The banks are defined on the left page. See general using concepts for the significance of the buttons. The name of a Bank can be changed by overwriting in the text field (and enter). Approved, the equipment have to group themselves into benches just like one operates it also together (put e.g. all PARs in a Bank).
There are different Flashmodi:
- Normal -- short-time Flash (set the maximum value)
- On/Off- alternating mode between maximum value and value adjusted/
- Only one - flashed channel reaches the maximum value, the others are reset respectively (radio button principle)
With the ALL button one can execute the operation defined in the Flashmodi on all channels of this Bank.
The allocation of an equipment channel for a Submaster is reached by clicking on the point below the
Flashbuttons. In the on bonking allocation menu several one or more channels can be chosen, these then behave
simultaneously.
You can also create interesting skip movements by clicking at points along the faders. The further from the current position you click the bigger the jump (interval jump).
In addition to the "simple view" the Submaster supports also the Crosfade mode. This makes manual
or automatic over-blank faceplates of Scene settings possible.
Both represented benches (above Bank A and below Bank B) refer respectively to the same DMX channels.
At the channel allocation it is no matter whether A or B is assigned at Bank. From the concept a Bank
delivers the current Scene settings and the others the following Scene, however the roles alternate.
Extended operating equipments
- With the Crossfade slider on the right page the Scene settings can be convicted manually of
Bank A and B.
- The Auto-A or Auto-B button imply the automatic overcrossing to the Bank with the chosen name.
The time of the overcrossing is adjusted with the slider "automatic over-blank faceplates" on the left below.
- Buttons A and B cause the volatile transition in the setting of the chosen Bank.
- With the copying buttons the settings of the other Bank can be taken on. This is advisable if only
minore modifications are planned.
