non dim channels

Hi there -

Another way to do this is to assign those channels to an Independent switch, and also set that switch to Exclusive mode. This way you have an LED stating clearly that those channels are "on" or "off", although this would be a manual action that your operator would have to make at the start and end of your show.

Thanks -

Hi Sarah

thanks for getting back to me i do like that idea, If its in "exclusive" no matter what you do will no alterations will happen to theses channels unless the independent button is pushed?

Someone was saying about parking channels? would that help? if so how do i do that? or would the best option be to put them on independent?

Cheers 

Yes, "Exclusive" means that no other channel controls can touch those channels. Both Masters and Independents can be Exclusive.

Parking channels is another way of ensuring that no channel controls can touch a channel.

• To Park a channel, select it, set to a level then [Park] & [CH/ID]
• To Unpark, select channels, [C/Alt] & [Park]

As to which method to choose, it's really down to your style of operation:

Parked channels don't show their 'real' level in Live while Exclusive do. To Park/Unpark Parked channels you will need to use the keypad while Masters/Independents let you hit a button/move a fader.

Both methods can be automated, Exclusive Masters by Master Links and Park functions by Macros.
