Programming Overview; Page, Construct, Parameter, Loop; Address And Preset Mode - High End Systems High End LCD Controller for Studio Color User Manual

Programming Overview

The Studio Color LCD controller has 9 separate memories,
each containing 99 pages, for a total of 891 pages of program
storage.
You can think of the controller's memory as being like a
book. The book has 9 chapters (memories) and each chapter
has 99 pages.

Page, Construct, Parameter, Loop

Each page (which can also be called a look or a scene) stores
a unique combination of constructs (fixture features) and
their parameters (values) which together form a particular
look or effect. You can link pages together to form a loop
(also called a chase, a repeating series of pages).

Address and Preset Mode

The controller has two fundamental modes of operation:
ADDRESS
Address mode (also called Edit mode) and Preset mode (also
called Playback mode). The current state of the controller is
PRESET
indicated by which LED on the
ON.
Address (Edit) Mode: (Address LED is ON.) In Address
ADDRESS
mode you program one or more fixtures. Each program is
stored as one page (a page consists of a set of constructs and
PRESET
their values); the page resides in one of the nine memories.
You can play back the program by manually selecting the
memory and page you assigned it to, or automatically using
the
<Auto>
Preset (Playback) Mode: (Preset LED is ON.) In Preset
ADDRESS
mode you take a program you created in address mode and
assign it to one of the 1024 presets (eight presets in each of
PRESET
128 preset banks). A preset can be either a single page
(scene) or a loop (repeating sequence of pages).
