Setting up lights

 

1

Lighting presets

We have presets for the green screen and black screen already programmed into the board.

1
Raise Grand Master fader on the far right side of the board - this is the board’s on/off switch
Make sure all of the faders on the left side of the board (1-48) are lowered/off
2

Press Submaster button (it will glow red when activated)
3 Raise submaster fader #1 (for green screen lights - shown above) or fader #13 (for black curtain lights)
4 To switch to single scene (customizable light mode) - lower all of the faders then follow instructions below
5 Turn off light switch by the door!

Setting your own lights

Use "single scene mode" to individually control each light

1 Raise Grand Master fader on the far right side of the board - this is the board’s on/off switch
2 Make sure all of the faders on the left side of the board (1-48) are lowered/off
3

Press Single Scene button twice - until it glows green (if you hit it just once, it will be yellow and won’t work)
4 Make sure fader for Preset A is raised
5 Raise the faders that corresponds to the lights that you want to turn on. Use the diagram at right to determine which lights you want to turn on. The numbers in the diagram indicate which number fader on the board controls the light.
6 Turn off light switch by the door!

Notes about the different lights:

  • For the lights labeled in green and orange, the fader controls that particular light’s intensity
  • Purple labeled lights have more control over parameters of the light. These are used to get a good green screen key.
  • First fader # (for example: #31 from light controlled by #31-#36) controls intensity - set at 100%
  • Second fader # (for example: #32) controls color temperature - set at 80%
  • Third fader # (for example: #33) controls green shift - set at 60%

Overhead view of the lighting grid. The number corresponds to the fader number on the lighting grid that controls that light.

For the lights controlled by a range of numbers, the first number in the range controls intensity, the second color temperature (daylight -> tungsten), the third is green to magenta.
