Running a theatrical show

If you have just been editing, you may need to type 1 then F [Cut to
Live] to set the console to cue 1. You should also turn the key to "Run"
to make sure you can't accidentally change anything.
The LCD display shows the
current (live) cue/step and the
next cue/step numbers. To the
right of this, bargraphs show
the progress of the fades (see
page 107 for more detail on the
bargraphs).
The VDU screen shows a list of
the cues with legends if you
have entered them. The
current cue is highlighted with
a grey background and bright
lettering. The next cue is highlighted in light blue.
For automatic cues, you can simply press the Go button next to the
wheels. The console will carry out the fade with the times you
programmed.
If you want to manually control a fade, you can use the in, out and LTP
faders (13, 14 and 15) or Go/Stop buttons to operate the cue. The
display shows the percentage of fade left to go. When the fade is
completed for that fader, the display shows "0". When Fade In, Fade
Out and LTP all show "0", the console moves on to the next cue. (The
picture above shows the in, out and LTP fade displays all at halfway, or
"5")
Once the display shows "0" you cannot reverse the fade using the fader.
• You can jump to a step by typing the step number on the keypad
then pressing Connect (next to the wheels). The cue is loaded but
does not start until you press the Go button.
• When the Add/Flash master is at zero, the Theatre Stack Go
function of the playback Flash buttons is disabled. When the Swop
master is at zero, the Stop function of the blue playback swop
buttons is disabled.
