Flash Mode
If the Flash Mode is set to
Flash
- the corresponding data assigned
to the UDK is output instantly on pressing the key and faded out or
released instantly on releasing the key.
If the Flash Mode is set to
Latch
- The first press results in the ‘on’
action. The second press results in the ‘off’ action. Subsequent
button presses will then toggle between the two states.
The light in the UDK indicates the state of the key (on or off). When
the outputs are fading up or down, the LED in the UDK flashes.
Palettes are output instantly on pressing the UDK.
A Cue or Channel Data UDK uses the fade times programmed in the
cue data (or from the programmer at the time of programming).
The times for the cue data can be displayed and edited as required
via the
Preview UDK Window
or by loading the UDK into the
programmer. Note – if you edit the fade times for the cue, this will
also affect the output of the cue in the relevant cue stack on the
playbacks.
Mix Mode
The intensity channels in the data are mixed either HTP or LTP.
Release
If the Release option is set to Yes then the fixtures will be released
when the UDK is released and the intensity (brightness) data has
faded to zero.
If the Release option is set to No then the fixtures will NOT be
released when the UDK is released.
The fixtures being controlled by the UDK can be released by setting
their values in the programmer or by triggering another LTP
command from elsewhere on the console or by holding down the
RELEASE key and pressing the UDK on the front panel.
Naming UDKs
UDKs defined as channel data can have a name associated with
them – press NAME, then press the UDK you want to name. A
popup window appears where you can enter the name, and then
press OK to confirm the name.
The name of the UDK appears on the LCD screen above the key.
Other types of UDK (Cues, Macros, Groups, Palettes, etc) inherit the
name associated with the source item.
Group UDK
The Group UDK is used for selecting a group. To assign a Group to a
UDK, enter either of the following commands:
GROUP n RECORD <UDK>
When the UDK is pressed, the group assigned to the UDK is selected
– this is equivalent to entering the syntax GROUP n ENTER in the
command line.
