  • Page 19 2- Attribute Control Area, which is divided into 7 sections. Depending on the kind of fixture and the type of attribute it will display different information: By default each section has a view by parameters and a view of palettes:...
  • Page 20 On the parameters view the user will find all the attributes for the selected type. The attributes are automatically shown in groups of 4. In case the selected section has for example 7 “BEAM” channels, you may access to the next 3 attributes by scrolling down.
  • Page 21 LS-1 users may interact with the interface using the encoders and buttons, so each LS- 1 encoder controls one of the attributes displayed (the top parameter is controlled by the first encoder on the left, and so on). The information shown in this area is also shown on the LCD integrated screen of the LS-1.
  • Page 23 LightShark includes an internal FX generator, so it is possible to add an effect to one or several fixtures.

  • Page 28: Virtual Playback

    Virtual Playback From the “Virtual Playback” view the user may access the Playbacks. This can be very helpful when using the LS-Core or when a physical control device is not available. The LightShark interface is multi-touch, so several Playbacks may be simultaneously controlled from a tablet or any other device with this technology.
  • Page 29 LightShark supports up to 30 Playback pages, allowing physical and virtual faders to have different functions and behaviours depending on the page they are located. Usually a page per song is used. Using the UP and DOWN keys you may navigate through the pages. The tag showing the actual page is located between the keys.

In addition, it gives them a name, so they can also be easily found. LightShark allows all kind of fixtures to be treated the same way.

  • Page 43 FX SIZE: it is the range in which the parameter may change. This is described on the appropriate terms for that parameter only, for example degrees for the position parameters, or slots for the colour parameters. It may be modified using the sliders on the screen. When a Size effect is added, its default will be 50%.

  • Page 44: Scene Playback

    9. SCENE PLAYBACK The Cuelists may be configured to be played as a Chase (they are automatically played) or as a simple list of Cues. The main difference is that as a Chase, each of the Cue times are determined by the speed of the whole Chase. When a Cueslist is configured as a Cue Step, the times of each Cue are individually determined with their own delay and fade times.
  • Page 45 Fader Controls HTP Channels: when this function is activated, the Playback fader controls the level of all the HTP channels proportionally from 0% to 100%. This is the default option. Fader Controls LTP Channels: when this function is activated, the Playback fader controls the level of all LTP channels in the actual Cue of the Cuelist.
  • Page 46 Fader UP+GO: when the fader exceeds the limit defined in the “trigger level” field, the Playback is activated and the Cuelist associated is played. If this option is deactivated the fader will not activate the Cuelist. Fader at Zero + Release: when the value of the fader is lower than the limit defined in the “trigger level”...

Each of the 8 vertical columns can trigger one single Cuelist at the same time, so when selecting a Cuelist from the same column, it deselects the previous one.
  • Page 50 The user can modify the color of each of the buttons in the grid, so it is possible to visually appreciate each of the buttons and assign them a color depending on its characteristics. It is possible to configure each button as “Push” or as “Toggle”, being able to adjust the button behaviour according to whether we want to run a Cuelist or activate a Flash.
