Request- Hold Playback On Show Load

Please consider ....

Would be nice if the H4's would save playback activity upon console shutdown or crash to be hot loaded upon show load. This way the console will send saved playback DMx values instead of default Values on show load so the show doesn't go black on reboot.

The current workaround is to unplug DMX outputs after shutdown or crash, then re plug DMX after show load and playback. The above solution would be a nice feature.

Thanks for the consideration.

  • Well, then we wouldn't have the playback snapshot if the desk shuts down unexpectedly.

    The way I look at it is....

    The desk records a macro of playback every 10 seconds or so. Then when it finishes loading a show file it executes that macro. If you release everything before voluntarily shutting down, then the macro is empty and we get a blank startup with no playback running. This idea is not my own. There are other desks that do this and it's a good feature that I would consider a standard feature for the latest desks.
