3. Running a Chase

Move a playback slider up or press a playback button, it will run a chase.
 Two or more chases can be output simultaneously.
 All the HTP (brightness) of the chases saved on the playback buttons 1-10 are controlled by the
faders. The LTP (movement) channels will implement the chase as the fade time defines.
 The chases saved on the playback buttons 11-20 will be output immediately when you press the
playback buttons.
 There are two playback combination buttons, one is to control the Latch of playbacks 11-20; The
other is to toggle between Flash and Swop of the playback buttons.
 When the LED indicator of <Latch> is on, pressing the playback buttons 11-20 will start outputting
scenes till the playback button is pressed again. If <Latch> is not on, the playbacks 11-20 are in
manual control mode; it outputs only when pressed and stops when released. The output mode
will be <Flash/Swop> whichever is on.
 When the LED indicator of <Flash/Swop> is on, it functions as Swop mode, in which a playback
will output data when the playback button is pressed and close other scenes. When the LED
indicator of <Flash/Swop> is off, it functions as Flash mode, in which a playback will output data

5. Setting Speed, Crossfade and Direction

Run a chase, then you can turn the wheels to adjust speed and fade time.

 Speed: The interval (global) time between two steps. If some steps are set to special time, then i twill
run according to their own time.
 Crossfade: The ratio of Wait Time to Fade Time. The three pieces of data fade in slope ratio, fade out
slope ratio and LTP slope ratio. FF means that it is all slope time during the total time and the Wait
Time is 0. When the value is set to 70, it means that the 70% of the total time is the slope time and the
rest is Wait Time.
 Wait Time: For example, there is a fixture which is supposed to move from point A to point B. If
the Wait Time is set to 3 seconds, then the fixture will stop at point A for 3 seconds and then will
start moving.
 Fade Time: For example, there is a fixture which is supposed to move from point A to point B. If
the Fade Time is set to 3 seconds, then the whole process of moving from point A to B will last 3
seconds.
Once the chase speed is saved, the playback will run at this speed.
