Submaster Background State; Submaster {Restore} Mode - ETC Element User Manual

To toggle a submaster between priority modes:
•
S u b m a s t e r B a c k g r o u n d S t a t e
Submasters can have their background states disabled. Background states are enabled by default.
When enabled, the content of the submaster will act as a background or previous state for other
cues and submasters. When a submaster has its background state disabled, a "D" will be displayed
in the Submaster List background column.
For example, cue 1 has channel 10 at 25%. Submaster 1 is raised and has channel 10 at 50%.
Submaster 2 is then brought up and has channel 10 at Full. When submaster 2 is lowered to zero,
control will be returned to submaster 1. If submaster 1 is lowered to zero, control will return to cue 1.
Using the above example, if submaster 1 has its background state disabled, which makes its
content unavailable as a background state, then when submaster 2 is lowered to zero, control
would return to cue 1 and not to submaster 1.
To disable a submaster's background state:
•
S u b m a s t e r { R e s t o r e } M o d e
Submasters can be placed into restore modes of minimum or previous, which is the default. When
a submaster is in the restore to previous mode, the restore column of the submaster list display will
be blank. When in minimum mode, 'Min' will display in the restore column.
The restore mode of previous means that when the submaster is returned to zero, control will be
restored to the background value, such as another submaster or a cue.
The restore mode of minimum means that when the submaster is faded down, control does not go
to the previous background state but to the parameters' minimum value.
To toggle the restore mode between "Previous" and "Min":
