Playbacks
PLAYBACK AREA
It is possible to control the playback of the show, to trigger the Cuelist and to control the release of the Playbacks from the Playback Zone.
By default the GrandMaster is minimized. Click on the button to enlarge it and show the fader. Pressing it again will minimize it.
It is possible to enter a specific level into the GrandMaster by holding down the value field for 1 seconds.
LightShark allows the reproduction of all the information stored in the show through the Playbacks. LightShark supports up to 30 Playbacks per page, distributed in 10 main Playbacks located next to the UI of the software and in other 20 accessible making horizontal scrolling with your finger on the Playbacks area.
These 20 playbacks, accessible by sliding (or from the "Virtual Playbacks" View) behave like Wings.
In addition to the LS-1, LightShark allows you to control the Playbacks using:
KEYBOARD: A Playback can be mapped to a key on the computer keyboard.
MIDI: Any component (Fader, Encoder, Button) from a MIDI controller can be mapped to a Playback so that it can be triggered or the level adjusted.
OSC: Any button or fader in the Playbacks zone can be controlled from an external device or software using the OSC protocol.
UDP: Any button or fader in the Playbacks zone can be controlled from an external device or software using the UDP protocol.
TCP: Any button or fader in the Playbacks zone can be controlled from an external device or software using the TCP protocol.
The control surface is set to always control the first 10 Playbacks regardless of the 3 selected Playbacks blocks. This means that when you slide your finger to access Playbacks 11-20 the control surface will continue to operate over the first 10 Playbacks.
The Playbacks are always minimized, in case you want to have access to all the control functions of the Playback, you must click on the intensity level indicator of the fader to maximize it.
When Playback is maximized, only the buttons on that playback will work. To access the rest of the user interface again, you must minimize the Playback.
It is possible to enter a specific level into a PlayBack by holding down the value field for 1 seconds.
Playbacks can have 3 states:
EMPTY: When no Cuelist is assigned they are shown in grey. It is the default state, when starting a show from 0 all Playbacks are empty.
USED: When a Cuelist is assigned it is shown in Blue.
SELECTED: When selected, it is shown in Red.
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. You can access the playback options via the “3 dot” icon that appears when the playback is maximized. These options are discussed in detail in Section 4 of this manual.
