Figure 1: Main Executor Off.
Here we can see what the console is doing on the main executor. It says the executor is currently off.
The Main executor have two faders. The left one is the master, the right one is used to manually cross fade between
two cues. Moving this fader to the opposite position will fade between cues using the timing of your fader
movement.
The dot2 don't have motorized faders. So there might be some inconsistencies regarding where the console
software believe a fader should be and where it actually is. If this is the case then you'll see a graphic visualization of
the faders with a red marker. The marker tells you where the physical fader is. The graphic fader shows where the
software says the fader should be.
If you left physical fader (the Master) isn't at 100, please move it there and please make sure the Crossfade fader is
at 0. We might still needs to activate the cue. We do this by pressing the big
Then your mini executor view should look like this:
Figure 2: Main Executor - cue 1.
Notice the brighter color and the blue marking of the cue. This indicates that the executor is active and that the
cue is active.
You should also be able to see the fixtures have 40% output on the Fixture view.
Try to move the Master fader up and down to see how this is related to the output of our channels.
Cues view
Let's have a look at the cue list. Press the
represented by a horizontal row. The columns are different settings or information regarding the cues.
I don't want to go into a lot of details, but I will tell you what each column is. Some of it is obvious, but other things
are bit more tricky.
'Number'
is the cue number.
'Name'
is the cue name.
'Protected'
is a function to protect the cue from changes made in previous cues (tracking - we'll got to it).
'Trig'
is the action that triggers the execution of the cue. The default trigger is "Go", but there are other
possibilities and we are going to look at them later.
'Trig Time'
is relevant when you use time triggers instead of Go.
'Fade'
is the fade time for the cue.
'Out Fade'
is used when you need a different fade time for the fixtures going down in dimmer value.
'Out Delay'
is used when we want to delay the beginning of the fade for the fixtures going down in dimmer value.
'All Fade'
is grayed out and can't be used.
