Master
The master playback pair can be set as a Proportional Master, Manual Master or Intensity
Master (I-Master). Its behavior is drawn from this setting.
Proportional faders, when the slider is set to zero prior to the execution of a cue, will
•
withhold playback of intensity data until the fader is raised. Intensity data will then be
played back proportionally according to the level of the fader. Once the fader reaches full,
the cue is considered complete and the cue is released from the manual fader. If the fader
is at any value other than zero when the cue is executed, intensity values will play back
normally. If the slider is returned toward zero, intensity in the cue will fade to the previous
level.
Intensity Masters will master the intensity level for cues during playback. Therefore,
•
intensity masters set below 100% will proportionally limit playback of intensity data
relative to the level that the fader is set. All non-intensity parameters are unaffected by
the fader. Once the fader has reached full, control of intensity is retained. If the fader is
moved toward zero, intensity will proportionally fade toward zero (not the previous state
as per proportional faders).
Example:
The playback fader is an intensity master and the slider is set at 50%.
When a cue is played back on this fader, intensity values will raise to 50% of their final
values and then stop. As the intensity master is raised/lowered, intensities will increase/
decrease accordingly. Once the slider has reached full, control of intensity is retained.
In Manual Master mode, cues are triggered manually by faders without using the [Go]
•
button. With a cue list on a fader set to manual master, a cue will fire in manual time
when the fader is moved from 0% or from Full. Timing is scaled. So, if color has a 5 count
delay, and the duration of the cue is 10, the color transition will not begin until the faders
manually reach 50%. Follow and hang times will be ignored when firing a cue with a
manual master fader.
HTP/LTP
The {HTP/LTP} softkey is a toggle state between LTP (latest takes precedence) and HTP (highest
takes precedence). For more information on HTP/LTP see
All parameters other than intensity are LTP.
Intensity, by default, is also LTP. The cue list can be set with an HTP intensity override. When
the cue list is set to HTP, intensity values provided will override the LTP value (of which there
can be only one), provided the HTP instruction is higher than the LTP value. When a cue from an
HTP cue list is executed, Element determines if the intensity value when the cue is complete will
be higher than the current setting. If so, the intensity will begin to fade from its current value to
the required value in the incoming cue using the cue's upfade time.
