Priorities

We are working in a ballroom that has motorised screens. Some of the down lights are hitting the screen so need to be turned off.

We are achieving this by sending out UDP triggers from the Crestron to the Paradigm.

Screen goes down/Lights turn off. Screen goes up/Lights turn on.

All of this is working well except when the screen is down/lights off and someone changes to another preset, the screen lights are affected.

The question is how to we set a priority on the screen lights group/presets/channels to take precedence over other commands when the screen in down?

  • This sounds like a good use for a Wall to me.

    Put your lights that hit the screen in a sub space, divided from the main space by a wall. Use Crestron to open and close the wall.

    Make sure whichever controls are playing back your presets are set to the Control Space of the main room. If the wall is closed they won't affect the lights hitting the screen.

    Maybe use a macro on the UDP trigger to close the wall and turn off the offending lights at the same time, just to ensure that they are always forced off when the screen comes in. (alternatively use a trigger within Paradigm to watch the wall and do the same thing that way)
