Live/Preview Mode

Overview

The 3D Graphic display, when used in combination with the console's Preview Mode,
is a powerful tool for previewing cues and manual control moves without actually
executing them on stage.
As mentioned in Chapter 1 of this manual, the console has two special modes: Live
and Preview.
The Live Mode is used for live editing. While the [Live] button is selected, any
manual control actions or event recalls (cues, effects, dynamic states, etc.) will be
executed, in real time, on stage.
The Preview Mode is used for preview editing. While the [Preview] button is
selected, any manual control actions or event recalls are stored to the appropriate
luminaires, but are not executed on stage. They are, however, visible in the 3D
Graphic and Luminaire Status windows.
An indication of the current mode is displayed just above the button bar at the bottom
of the online display screen.
Guidelines:
• The submasters are not affected by the Live or Preview Mode selection.
• Any active events on a submaster will still execute normally when Preview is
selected.
• Live/Preview modes will not be available when the system is offline.
