TARTING THE

Once your console is set up and the cables are connected, start the Maxxyz by turning on the

power. The switch is located at the back on the left hand side as your facing the front of the

console. The processors will then boot and load the operating software. The first screen you see

that requires your input is the "Welcome Screen" located on the Playback Touch Screen.

At this point, you are presented with three options. They are

Create new show

Load a show...

Continue with current

show

In the lower left hand corner of the "Welcome Screen" you'll notice a check box labeled "Start

automatically." By default, this box is unchecked and you will be required to make one of the

selections above. However, if you check this box, the console will automatically select "Continue

with current show" after displaying the "Welcome Screen" for ~10 seconds. This setting is stored

in the console and will take effect the next time the console if started.

Note:

The Maxxyz console automatically and continually saves the current show as you

are working on it. Therefore, if you select "Load a show..." please be aware that

you will be recording over your existing show. Further, if you have not previously

saved your showfile (see "Save a Show" on page 148), that data will be

permanently lost.

For now, press "Create new show."

AXXYZ

This option allows you to start a new show from the beginning

with no existing show information.

This option will take you to a traditional Windows interface

where you can select any show stored on the console.

The third option loads the last show that you were working on.

Please note that no cues will be active if you select this

option.
