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

  • Personally, I would just park the channels.  If you really want them recorded into the cues, It's simple enough to add them in later ([Blind][Cue][1][Thru][Enter][Channels][@][Full][Enter]).  A shielded sub would be another good option... I'd burry the sub on a seldom-used page.

    But if you really want them coming from two sources, you could always put the channels on a simple submaster and bring it up.  They'll get recorded into your cues that way.  I would argue that isn't really best-practice, however.  Too much can go wrong if these channels get recorded into a second cuelist.

    Either way, be sure to make the non-dim channels Grandmaster Exclusive in Patch.
