General Use Questions
Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2014 4:11 pm
Some general questions I have discovered during normal use of the 250ML console:
1. Most of the buttons on the console have the ability to light up. Why doesn't the blackout button have a backlight on it? The only place to confirm the key has been pressed (from what I can tell) is by looking at the monitor for the Grandmaster status & percentage. Should my blackout button light up when I press it?
2. Is there a reason that I can't find any details in the manual regarding the use and functions of the playback master? I have discovered that it is basically a master for the playbacks/submasters but shouldn't there be at least a little blurb of something in the manual?
3. In regards to Sub copy/move: I am having a hard time figuring out how to choose subs that you want to move or copy. All that I can access is sub 01-01 or 01-02. How do I access subs on different pages or slots?
4. Can you describe the functions of preview in the sub menu? Is this just to look at subs or should it be like a blind function where I can edit it as well? Can the ability to edit subs be added so that it functions similar to a blind function on most other consoles?
5. I am finding that the playback fader when in a chase or cue stack does not control the intensity of fixtures. The fader will only control intensity in static looks. Is there a setting that I am missing to make the fader function appropriately?
Thanks
