The touchscreen shall show the properties and progress of advancing cues and clearly show which cue the console is currently resting in. Touching one of the


cues in a Playlist then pressing the Edit pushbutton shall allow changes to cue properties such as label, timing, follow and wait properties, and adding Cue Actions. Edit shall also allow the moving and deleting of cues.

g. The Play Mixed task shall configure the touchscreen with a condensed layout consisting of the Left Playback, the Right Playback and Memories. Editing of Memories and cues is not supported in this task.

4. Console Slider Operation

a. In the Select task, the 20 Sliders may be used to set lights’ intensities. Filtering,

paging and zoom icons shall allow control and display of greater or lesser numbers of lights.

b. In the Select task, the 20 pushbuttons below the Sliders shall temporarily take the associated light’s intensity to full (bump) when pressed. Holding down the Shift pushbutton key while pressing the bump button shall cause the light to be latched at full until Shift+Bump is pressed again.

c. In the Play task, the 20 Sliders shall control all attributes of lights that have been recorded to the corresponding Memory. Intensity attributes shall respond at a highest-takes-precedence level, whereas all other attributes shall use latest-take-precedence.

d. Any attribute(s) of any number of lights may be controlled by successively activating more Memories. When deactivating (fading down) these Memories, the lights shall automatically take on the value of the remaining active Memories. There shall be no need for the operator to re-assert prior Memories. This activation/deactivation sequence may happen in any order and predictable results shall always prevail.

e. In the Select or Play task, when the bank of Sliders displayed onscreen is changed, indicator lights shall warn the operator that the Slider (hardware) level does not match the associated light’s intensity. The operator may adjust the Slider to ‘match’ the correct level before the light’s level changes on the stage in order to prevent lighting levels from jumping or ‘slamming’ upon Slider movement.

f. In either the Play or Select tasks, the operator may press the PIN button to hold the stage output, allowing Sliders, buttons, touchscreen icons and Wheels to change the attributes of any lights (in “Blind” mode), without change to the lighting state on stage. Pressing the Pin button again shall cause a smooth cross-fade from the live stage state to a new live stage state using the attribute levels set in Blind and thus accomplish two-scene operation. Pressing Shift+Pin shall allow the operator to set the desired fade time for the crossfade.

g. The console shall have a SETUP option where the 20 Sliders shall always control all the attributes of lights, that have been recorded to the corresponding Memory, in all four tasks (Select, Control, Record and Play).

5. Console General Operation

a. At any time, the operator may press the Record button to save a lighting setting.

When activated, the user shall be presented with options such as where to record, what to label it, and various other properties that may be altered, such as timing information. This operation shall use sensible defaults so that a user may execute this command with as few as two button presses (for example, RECORD+BUMP to record a Memory to a Slider or RECORD+GO to record a


cue in a playlist or RECORD+RECORD to record to the next available Memory or Cue).

b. When the operator adjusts a light’s intensity or any of its other attributes, a Release button shall allow those changes to be discarded and cause the light(s) to return to the previous control state (whether that be from a Memory, from a cue or its default values).

c. A lock function shall be available to selectively prevent changes to a light’s intensity, color, position or shape attributes. Locking a light shall not prevent the operator from continuing to program the show including the ability to set new values for that light. The light shall be shown as locked in the Select task screen.

d. When Libraries are applied to lights and those lights are subsequently recorded into Memories or cues, any updates to the Libraries shall be reflected in the playback of the Memories or cues without further action required on behalf of the operator.

e. A show file may contain as many as 20 Playlists. Any and all of those Playlists may be assigned to either of the two Playbacks. Playlists may also be controlled without being assigned to a Playback via on screen icons, external show control via the API (firmware enabled in pro Models only) or iOS remotes.

f. Memories and cues may be organized and reordered using ‘drag-and-drop’ operations. Memories may be copied from Slider to Slider, from Slider to Playback, from Playback to Slider and from Playback to Playback.

g. In addition to normal operation, the console shall have several “Wall Station” modes:

h. In Wall Station – Locked Mode the hardware and touch screen shall be inactive or “locked”. A logo may be displayed. At the operator’s discretion, a password may be required to exit this mode.

i. In Wall Station – Bump Button Mode, the touchscreen shall show 2, 4, 8, or 20 icons representing Memory Bump Buttons. When the icon or the corresponding hardware pushbutton is pressed, the memory associated with the bump button shall be recalled. The bump button shall behave as defined in Section 3.4.1.3. At the operator’s discretion, a password may be required to exit this mode.

j. In Wall Station – Playlist Mode, the touchscreen shall show the current Cue in the Playlist, and its current state (i.e. fading, paused, complete). A GO and PAUSE/BACK icon shall also be displayed. By touching the icons, or the associated GO and PAUSE/BACK pushbuttons, the Playlist may be run by the operator. At the operator’s discretion, a password may be required to exit this mode.

6. Console Setup Mode

a. The Setup mode shall be outside of the general operational screens the operator

interacts with during Select, Control, Record and Play. b. In Setup mode the operator shall be able to manage various aspects of the

console and the show file including but not limited to:
