select single channels inside a group

hello everybody

 

in the past i (as an operator) or a designer wanted to ask for the "front light, 1st zone, 2nd light from the left" without knowing the channel number. but i would know that 1st zone of the front light was Group 11. so it would have been handy to type Group 11/2 At Full, where 2 would be the 2nd channel in this group. it doesn't necessarily have to be a / , it could be a . but since you can have a goup 11.1 i think that would be confusing..

 

any thoughts?

Felix

 

ps: i hope i didn't miss an essential part of the manual where you describe how to do exactly what i want to do... and if i have made a complete fool out of myself, then please point me to the page of the manual ;-)

  • Have you though about labeling your channels and using the Channel Direct Selects ?.  Having a touch screen then makes them easy to grab.

     

    On a similar topic and as a question for the ETC folks, is there any way currently, or has any consideration been given to allowing an import of text data from LW or something similar, that will populate the Channel Labels with text from an external source, Ditto the Subs (or Groups for that matter).

    Lightwright, as example, allows additional text columns, all of which are exportable.  Seems easy enough to configure a column that will follow the 6 character limit, a truncated Purpose as example.  Just a thought...
