Artist Help:Global Control
This window provides Master fade, rate and blackout functions.
| Master | this controls the level of intensity parameters in all cue lists. Cue lists defined as Non-Blackout and all non-intensity parameters are unaffected. The fader will optionally snap back to maximum if a cue in a cue list that is not marked as non-blackout is activated. See Control to change this behaviour. |
| Rate | this is a proportional control of the rates in your programmed cues. Global control of a cue list's rates are optional as select in the Cue List properties. |
| Blackout | sets the Master fader to zero. A subsequent 'Black' will restore the Master fader to its maximum level. By default activating a cue in a cue list that is not marked as non-blackout, will restore blackout. See Control to change this behaviour. |
| Fade | fades the Master fader to zero. A subsequent 'Fade' will fade the Master fader to its maximum level. The rate is set in the cue control properties. |
| Normal | Normalises the global rate control. |
| Preset | toggles preset mode |
| Clear | this clear all active objects except those marked as non-blackout |
| Settings | opens the properties dialog to allows timing adjusts. |
| Pilot | activates the Auto Pilot |
| Blind | puts Artist in Blind Edit mode |
| Pause | pauses all activity. |
