Help: Press the Help button once to launch Hints, as described above. Press and hold
the Shift button, then press Help again to close the help overlays.
Edit: When in PLAY, press the Edit button to change Cue or Memory names, fade times
and other properties. Deletion or rearrangement of Cues and Memories is also
accessed using Edit. Edit is not active in the PLAY>Mixed mode.
Record: Press the Record button once as a shortcut to RECORD. If Memory was the
last recording method used, press the Record button twice to record the current stage
look into the next available fader. If Cues was the last recording method used, press the
Record button twice to record the current stage look into the next available cue slot, with
default timings. See RECORD for details on setting fade times.
Encoder Wheels and Buttons
Four encoder wheels are spaced around the touch screen, each with a specific color and
an associated button. The encoder wheels' actions depend on the Task currently active
on the touch screen. Encoder wheels are used to directly adjust some attributes of a
light, such as intensity or pan, or to present choices of gobos, color wheel slots or other
fixture settings. To select from the light's settings, press the encoder wheel button to see
the choices, then use the encoder wheel to scroll through the list. Accept the desired
(highlighted) option by touching the screen or pressing the encoder wheel's button.
On-screen icons and color associations indicate when an encoder wheel or its button
provides selection or control for a tool or wheel bank option.
The Shift button may be used in combination with an encoder wheel to allow for finer
control. For example, when adjusting a light's pan attribute, holding down the Shift key
will move the light in tenths of a degree, instead of full degrees. Similarly, you may adjust
cue times in tenths of a second, instead of full seconds.
Pin Button
Located just below the Cognito badge between the fader banks, the Pin button provides
a simple method of transitioning between lighting looks. With a lighting look activated by
using the faders or manual control, press the Pin button to hold the look (i.e. pin it to the
stage). Intensity levels or other attributes may now be readjusted, without the look
onstage being affected. Press the Pin button again to transition (crossfade) to the newly
set look.
USB Ports
There are a total of four powered USB ports on the console: two on the top surface, and
two on the rear panel. Any port may be used for a mouse, keyboard or USB stick. The
top ports are also suitable for a USB-powered work light.
