The Console options set here are not part of your Marquee show file. These options will be persistent for all sessions on your console.
On the back of the Marquee desk are two 3-pin XLR connectors. These fit industry standard work lights. The intensity level of those lights is determined here. These settings are remembered for all sessions and the lights automatically go out when you exit Marquee. Using the wheel and [S1] through [S3], you can adjust them individually or as a pair.
Note:
There are Macros that allow you to set the level of the console lights. These macros can be called by cues so that your console lights dim for cues such as black-outs, then restore for the rest of the show.
This option affects the way the [REL] key or [ESC] key releases fixtures. By default on new show files, it is not checked.
When it is checked, the multi-stage release and undo of released fixtures ([SHIFT]+[REL]) described in the help topic called Release is disabled. Instead, pressing [REL] just deselects the selected fixtures keeping them Captured. Then, if a Cue List is advanced and has fade information for that attribute, it will become released and fade under control of the cue list. If you keep a fixture Selected, running cue lists will not steal away attribute levels.
If you want to truly Release the fixtures (rather than keeping them captured), press [SHIFT]+[REL].
By default, the QWERTY Keyboard on the Marquee Processor can control the displayed Cue List. For example, the Spacebar executes a Go; the Z key does a Pause or Halt; the Slash {\} will Release the Cue List. (For the full QWERTY mappings, see the topic Keyboard Shortcuts)
If you uncheck this option, any method of controlling the cue list from the keyboard will be disabled (including pressing [EDIT] in the first column of the Cue List). To run cues, you either need to press the dedicated buttons on the console or use the Cue List Toolbar buttons with the mouse.
If you want to control your console from a browser, you must author your own web based controls using hyperlinks embedded with Macro Scripts. See Browser Control for more details.
When this option is checked, the DMX and Ethernet outputs will be live upon startup, regardless of a proper or improper shutdown. This mode is preferable in architectural situations that can not rely on user intervention to get back up an running. In these environments, appropriate cue lists should be marked as AutoRun in the Cue List Properties.
For regular live performance situations, leave this option unchecked. That way if you encounter a power failure or crash, you can gracefully recover and the audience will be none-the-wiser. See Enable Outputs - Recovery for more details.
When working on the Command Line you can choose to terminate fixture selection and level set commands with or without using the [ENTER] key. The options are to use Enter, Single Digit or Two Digit entry. With single digit entry the syntax [1] [THRU] [10] [@] [5] will take 1 through 10 to 50%. To achieve the same thing with Two Digit entry, you would type [1] [THRU] [10] [@] [5] [0]. If you wanted 5% in single digit entry, type [1] [THRU] [10] [@] [0] [5] [ENTER].
Note:
Typing [1] [THRU] [10] [@] [.] [127] [ENTER] will set fixtures 1 through 10 to 50% in any mode.
Use this options to change the refresh rate or flavor of the DMX coming out the back of the console. You may need to alter the default to satisfy some third-party legacy devices. Ethernet DMX settings must be configured with third-party Ethernet to DMX management software.
