The Chimp 100 Console does not have an built-in screen, and needs to be connected to an external screen with full-HD resolution (1920 by 1080) as the userinterface is optimized for that resolution. The Screen may be a touch screen as well.
  • Page 28: Basic Concepts

    Infinity Chimp Series Basic Concepts Hybrid Console The Highlite Chimp is a hybrid console. This means it is not limited to control of a specific fixture type only. It equally treats Dimmer Channels and Movinglights. Fixtures vs. Channels The Chimp does not distinguish between channels or fixtures. It only knows about “Fixtures”. This is to allow more flexibility.

  • Page 31: Tracking

    Infinity Chimp Series Tracking Basic Idea When a sequence of cues is programmed, the lighting console can store the information in one of two ways: either it records the settings for all attributes of all the fixtures used in the cuelist, or it is only recording the values that have changed.
  • Page 32: Tracking Through Changes

    Infinity Chimp Series With a tracking console, however, the recorded information would be: Fixture 1 Fixture 2 Fixture 3 Fixture 4 Cue 1 Cue 2 100% Cue 3 100% Cue 4 If the intensity has not been changed or touched, then no value is recorded for that attribute. During playback, if Tracking is enabled, attributes remain at their last assigned level, i.e.: Fixture 4 remains at 50%...
  • Page 33: Track Thru End

    Infinity Chimp Series Track Thru End Sometimes it is desirable to track values from the last cue in the cuelist to the first cue. A real live example for this is a looping cuelist that creates a color chase, that when you run it first should set the fixtures intensity to 100% cue by cue.
  • Page 34: The Graphical User Interface

    Infinity Chimp Series The Graphical User Interface The console utilizes an easy to use and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). The following sections explain the basics of finding your way around the GUI, in the internal as well as the external display.
