Playback Options

PB OPTIONS

It is possible to configure several options that determine how the Playback and the elements that compose it work. It is possible to determine the priority of the Playback, the way in which it is reproduced, and the control functions of FX:

Playback Settings

  • FADER CONNTROLS HTP CHANNELS: When this function is activated the playback fader proportionally controls the level of all HTP channels of the current Cue from 0% to 100%. This option is activated by default.

  • FADER CONNTROLS LTP CHANNELS: When this function is activated the playback fader proportionally controls the level of all LTP channels of the current Cue from 0% to 100%. This option is deactivated by default.

  • FADER CONTROLS FX SPEED: When this function is activated, the playback fader can be used to scale the FX speed. When the fader is at 100% then the Fx speed has the same value as when the Cue was recorded, lowering the fader reduces the speed until the speed is equal to 0 when the fader is completely down.

  • FADER CONTROLS FX SIZE: When this function is activated the playback fader can be used to scale the FX size. When the fader is at 100% then the FX Size has the same value as when the Cue was recorded, lowering the fader reduces the size of the FX until the size equals 0 when the fader is fully down.

  • FADER CONTROLS CROSSFADE: Allows fading between the cues manually. 

  • FLASH SOLO: Allows you to change the behavior of the flash button, by default it adds the playback information to the DMX output. Enabling this function also adds the playback information to the DMX output but blocks the DMX output of the other Playbaks.

  • PLAYBACK PRIORITY: Allows you to define the priority of the Playback over the rest of the Playbacks. A higher value increases the priority.

  • PLAYBACK PRIORITY: Allows you to define the priority of the Playback over the rest of the Playbacks. A higher value increases the priority.

  • PLAYBACK IGNORES GRAND MASTER: When this function is activated, the HTP channels of this Playback are not affected by the Grand Master.

  • FADER UP+GO: When this function is activated, the HTP channels of this Playback are not affected by the Grand Master.

Trigger Options

  • FADER UP+GO: When the fader passes the limit defined in the "trigger level" field, the playback is activated and the associated Cuelist is played. When this function is deactivated the fader does not activate the Cuelist automatically.

  • FADER AT ZERO + RELEASE: When the fader has a value lower than the limit defined in the "trigger level" field the playback is deactivated. When this function is deactivated the fader does not deactivate the Cuelist automatically.

  • ACTIVATE WHEN PAGE CHANGE: If this option is set, the Playback is activated when the page is changed to the one that the cuelist is assigned. If there was a Cuelist already active on that playback, then changing the page to the one where the cuelist is set to “Activate When Page Changes”, will NOT activate the cuelist, unless the option "Deactivate when page changes" was activated in the previous Playback.

  • DEACTIVATE WHEN PAGE CHANGE: If this option is activated the Playback is deactivated if you change to any other page.

  • LOCK TO ALL PAGES: If this option is enabled then the selected Playback will be present on all 30 Playback pages.

  • TRIGGER LEVEL: This field defines the exact value of the fader at which Playback is activated or deactivated. 

  • LAUNCH ON LOAD: If this option is enabled, the Playback will be executed immediately after the show is loaded.
