Nondims for Movinglight

Hi,

what is the best practise to deal with nondims for power supply of movinglights, scrollers etc.?

We will get our new Eos/Gio/Ion-desks this summer and at the moment we are training at a rental Gio. At our former desks Transtechnik Focus NTX and ADB Phoenix we are able to "park" channels in a way they are displayed in "live" and recorded to cues et al. It seems this is not possible at Eos. How do you handle this? I see three possibilities:

1. park

2. shielded submasters

3. special fixture with just one contoll parameter via lamp control

In non of this possibilities you would automatical record the channels to cue, what i believe would be very handy because you get a second source for your values, so even if you forget to pull up your submaster/fire your park macro before show, you still have your nondims recorded to your cues.

In my opinion the coolest solution would be, to put this in control parameters if there were any possibilitie to see wether the nondim is on or not.

with best regards

Wanja

    Basically you found three good solutions and I've seen all of them being used. All have their advantages and disadvantages. If you park them and want them in your cues as well, you could easily add them to all cues using the spreadsheet afterwards.

    But I agree, the old SPE function wasn't too bad, although now you have the option to park values while you work with different values in the cues.
