Moving Light Controls - ETC Element User Manual

Note:
A single empty direct select tile may remain if the adjacent direct select tiles
are not sequential. This is to allow an easy way to insert a new direct select between
the existing ones.
[Shift] & Direct Select
Selecting record targets from direct selects will terminate the command line. To post a control to
the command line without terminating it, hold down [Shift] while pressing the direct select. This
allows multiple commands to be selected and executed at once, and an optional sneak time to
be entered.

these controls. See
You will need to have a multi-parameter device selected to properly view this display. The
display will change based on the device selected. If you have a device that only has intensity
