Grand master

Hi Everybody

What is the best way to program 2 "master", I mean 1 for the whole stage and another Master for venue lighting to be able to do very fast black out of one or another
Grand master will cut everything and group master is for specific group of machine with Titan software or maybe I missed something

thanks

Can you just create a new group with all your stage fixtures in and move it to a fader? Then do the same for the venue lighting. The groups you use as masters do not have to have any relation to the groups you have to select fixtures; these groups can contain as many fixtures as you want and can be different fixture types.

Alternatively, if you want to be able to hold a key to blackout you could record a mode 3 playback (it can be empty) and set anything you want to stay on to a higher priority. Raising the mode 3 fader will cause all fixtures in playbacks of the same or lower priority to fade out proportional to the fader level. Flashing or swopping will act as a momentary D.B.O. switch. Any fixtures in playbacks set to a higher priority will remain on.

The problem with this is you might have to set priorities for multiple playbacks, depending how the venue lighting is setup. And there is no way to account for both types in a single playback.

Two group masters is much easier and potentially gives you the benefit of being able to proportionally master the venue and stage levels. The only drawbacks I can think of are that there is currently no way to achieve a D.B.O. button this way and for all normal operation the two faders must be kept raised.
