Description
Use the
Zone
command to select a zone. Zones are used to separate different areas of a particular project.
Zones are also “parent containers” for presets, meaning that any preset must be a member of a zone.
When a zone is selected, only channels within that zone can be changed. For example, a zone named
“Meeting Room” only contains channels 10 through 19. If that zone is selected, then any subsequent
commands that might change channel values (such as
On
,
Off
,
At
,
Go
,
Release
,
Toggle
, etc.) will
only
operate on channels 10 through 19, regardless of which channels are being targeted by the Cue, Group,
Preset, etc.
To remove the restrictions of having a zone selected, use the
Zone Clear
command. Once the zone is
cleared
all
channels will again respond to the various channel setting commands.
In certain applications, it is useful to be able to join multiple zones together (such as in a Ballroom with
removable “air walls”). See the
command to learn how to join Zones together. When zones are joined,
the channel setting commands can affect the combined channels of all joined zones.
