Panic Attack

Bad day. Brand new Console wouldn't power up! Kudus for ETC, their tech TW had me take the console apart and we fixed it! Phew. But it is slightly different to running just the Software. Also theatre called to say right stereo channel out - so I am losing time here. I need to know quickly;

How do a "swap" what's on the monitors? Tried swapping the output leads but the dang thing still put the browser on the right screen! I want it on the left. And

What/How is that big [MASTER] button over the cue faders? And

Where is the master fader and blackout?

I'll be reading late tonight if someone doesn't see this soon.

What console?
In the shell there is monitor configurations options.
The master button is the "load" button for the master fader pair.
There is not preconfigured grandmaster you have to configure one of your faders(not the master fader pair) to be the grandmaster

Element 2. In the shell? I tried the 'Monitor Mapping' but couldn't do it. Here's the real strange thing; If the mouse is on the right screen and I pull it to the right (off the screen) then it appears from the left of the left screen. I.E It looks as if I just physically swap the monitors around I'll get the Browser on the left and the mouse would track properly.
Is there a master black out?
That master fader stuff does seem a bit odd (from an Expression III point of view). More reading!

If you use "exit" instead of "shutdown" in the browser it will take you to the "shell" Use the Settings button. There are several tabs of controls there that let you setup different sections of the console. The "general" tab there is a monitor arrangement button and within that you can set the layout of the monitors and which is "primary"

There is not a dedicated master black out. You can configure any of the faders to be the master and it's buttons would be available as a blackout button.

OK. Will do that. Question about the Master on Fader. We will always leave the switch on (Faders 1 -40)* to use them as submasters. Would I be able to set the bottom right SM fader (no 40) to Grandmaster? When I go into fader list I can't see Grand Master in the slider options.

* Ref that switch. Whenever I turn it to any of the Channel settings every fader lights up! Is that normal, if so, why?

Hello:

Yes, in tab 36 (one of your view options) you can map any of those faders to be a grandmaster if you desire.
when you move to channels the bumps all light up because they all have content. Think of it this way- it is automatically mapping a channel to each fader, so each fader can control something and thus indicates as such.

Thank you,

OK I see the tab 36 screen. Tried to set Submaster 1 to be the a grandmaster but the only options for the slider were Master, Effect Rate and so on. Can't see where/how to nominate this as a grand master (and make one of its bump buttons a blackout). Thanks

Hello,

At the top where it says S1, that is what is currently mapped to the fader. The "master" section is the behavior of the fader itself. Please take a look at the image here if you can. If you click where it says S, you can change the target to GRANDMASTER.

Thank you,

Worked great. Bottom button says [Blackout] but doesn't! Loaded a sub to bring up some lamps but pressing the Grand's Bump doesn't black stage. Too embarrassed to ask this under separate thread but the videos show you guys whizzing around the screen without using a mouse! Question; When I want to Exit I get two small boxes [OK] and [Cancel] How do I highlight say the cancel? Tried tab but have to use mouse. I want to go mouseless like you guys. OhOh just thought. When the touch screens arrive later today I could use that couldn't I? Sorry - not thinking

You must press both buttons on a Grandmaster mapped to faders in order to blackout.

Hello,

Use the top and bottom bump together to blackout. Consider it a safety- you wouldn't want to accidentally plunge the stage into darkness so two buttons are needed.

Part of the video thing is magic. The board is meant to be used with a mouse, but we can remove cursors and circle things and remove hands from touchscreens with a bit of video magic. In your example though you don't need to highlight cancel- you can just hit escape to get away from that screen without confirming.
