Naming Conventions
When a key is referred to in the manual it will be in capital letters. For instance RECORD would refer to the record
button. A softkey command on the LCD screen will be written contained inside "". So for instance the "Enter" would
refer to a softkey option available on the LCD screen.
Note: All screen shots in the "CONSOLE BASIC OPERATION" section are simulated for clarity.
1. Two Scene Control
In Two Scene operation, separate scenes are set up on PRESET A and PRESET B faders. The A MASTER and B
MASTER faders are used to crossfade between the two different scenes.
Entering Two Scene Operation Mode
There are two ways of entering into Two Scene mode:
If the TWO SCENE button is not lit at all:
1) Press the TWO SCENE button once and it will turn yellow.
2) Press the TWO SCENE button a second time and it will turn dark green.
3) You are now in Two Scene mode.
Note: If any channels on PRESET A or PRESET B are above 0% and the relevant PRESET A or PRESET B
MASTER faders are at full the intensity of those channels will snap on.
Fading into TWO SCENE mode is also possible. If the TWO SCENE button is not lit at all:
1) Press the TWO SCENE button once and it will turn yellow.
2) If the PRESET A or PRESET B FADERS are at the bottom move them to the top. This will cross fade in
any channels set above 0% on the PRESET A faders and the TWO SCENE button will turn dark green or;
3) If the PRESET A or PRESET B FADERS are at the top move them to the bottom and then move them to
the top. This will cross fade in any channels set above 0% on the PRESET A faders and the TWO SCENE
button will go dark green.
In most cases during Two Scene operation you will want to control 24 channels (12 channels on the 12/24 version) as
this is the basic control mode. However it is possible to access up to 48 channels (24 on the 12/24 version) by using
the 1-48 (1-24) and the 49-96(25-49) buttons. You can page between the pages to set the levels as you require.
Remember to re-page to lower these channels if you have set them. The LCD next to the channel numbers you have
selected will light up to represent the channels that you are working with on each fader bank.

Two Scene Control 13
200 Plus Series Console
The monitor displays information (as shown in Figure 8) about Channel levels and the position of the A/B MASTER
faders.
Figure 8: Two Scene Operation - Video Monitor Screen
If a video monitor is disconnected or not used, the LCD can be used to show information during console operation.
Channel levels are shown as bar lines next to the numbers in the middle left window.

To Output a Scene from Preset A - Use the PRESET A faders to set the required levels for each channel. Set the
PRESET A MASTER to full and the PRESET B MASTER to zero (both faders will be at the top). The scene set up
on the PRESET A faders will output live.
To Output a Scene from Preset B faders- Set the required levels for each channel on the PRESET B faders. Set the
PRESET A MASTER to zero and the PRESET B MASTER to full (both faders will be at the bottom). The scene

Operations Manual
14 CONSOLE BASIC OPERATION
Example:
1) Make sure that the PRESET A MASTER and PRESET B MASTER faders are at the top.
2) Set PRESET A faders 1, 2 and 3 to 100%. (as you move these faders to 100% you will see the intensities of
these channels turn on)
3) Set PRESET B faders 10, 11, 12 to 100%. You will see no change in these channels intensities in real time.
4) Move the PRESET A MASTER and PRESET B MASTER fader to the bottom.
Note: As the PRESET MASTERS move to the bottom the intensity on channels 1,2 and 3 will fade to 0% and the
intensity on channels 10, 11 and 12 will fade to 100%.
Congratulations! You have just run your first lighting cue.
Timed Operation
Manual Fades
Use the PRESET A faders to set a scene. On the PRESET B faders set a different scene. Set the PRESET A
MASTER to full and the PRESET B MASTER to zero. This will output the channels set on the PRESET A faders.
To crossfade to the scene on PRESET B move the PRESET A MASTER to zero and the PRESET B MASTER to
full at the same time. The speed with which you move the master faders will control the time taken for the transition
between PRESET A and PRESET B. As the two master faders are moved the scene on the PRESET A faders will
fade out and the scene on the PRESET B faders will fade in.
A new scene can now be set up on the PRESET A faders without affecting the live outputs. To crossfade to the new
scene on PRESET A, move the PRESET A MASTER to full and the PRESET B MASTER to zero. As the two
master faders are moved the currently outputting scene set up on PRESET B faders will fade out and the scene set on
PRESET A faders will fade in.
Timed Fades
It is possible to set a fade time between scenes by using the STEP RATE fader. Make sure the FD/ST TIME button
is red by pressing the button as needed. When red, this indicates that the STEP RATE fader is in time mode. To apply
the time press the A and Csoft buttons on the right of the LCD, the text will invert its colors to show the selection has
occurred. This will apply the time on the STEP RATE FADER to the PRESET A and PRESET B faders. Set the
time to the desired level. When you move the PRESET A and PRESET B faders the time will now be applied to the
transition. The LCD will show the time in the bottom Left window.
Figure 10: Timed Fades - LCD Display
The example below will show you how to set and apply Time to the Preset Master moves.
Example:
1) Make sure that the PRESET A MASTER and PRESET B MASTER faders are at the top.
2) Set PRESET A faders 1, 2 and 3 to 100%. (as you move these faders to 100% you will see the intensities of
these channels come on)

3) Set PRESET B faders 10, 11, 12 to 100%.
4) Ensure that the PRESET A and PRESET B faders have been selected in the LCD window.
5) Use the STEP RATE fader to set the desired time, 5 secs.
6) Move the PRESET A MASTER and PRESET B MASTER FADERS to the bottom quickly.
Note: The time will be used to control the crossfade.
Flashing Channels
Pressing the flash button (Bump Button) of any channel fader will flash that channel to the level set by the FLASH
MASTER. This will be added to the scene. If the SOLO button is selected then any channels flashed will come on
and all other channels will go to 0%.
2. Single Scene Operation
The monitor display is similar to that for Two Scene.

Entering Single Scene Operation Mode
There are two ways of entering Single Scene mode:
If the SINGLE SCENE button is not lit at all:
1) Press the SINGLE SCENE button once and it will turn yellow.
2) Press the SINGLE SCENE button a second time and it will turn dark green.
3) You are now in Single Scene mode.
Note: Be aware that if any channels on PRESET A or PRESET B are above 0% and the relevant PRESET A or
PRESET B MASTER faders are at full the intensity of those channels will snap on.
Fading into Single Scene mode is also possible. If the SINGLE SCENE button is not lit at all:
1) Press the SINGLE SCENE button once and it will turn yellow.
2) If the PRESET A or PRESET B FADERS are at the bottom move them to the top. This will cross fade in
any channels set above 0% on the PRESET A faders and the SINGLE SCENE button will turn dark green.
Or
3) If the PRESET A or PRESET B FADERS are at the top move them to the bottom and then move them to
the top. This will cross fade in any channels set above 0% on the PRESET A faders and the SINGLE
SCENE button will turn dark green.
In most cases during Single Scene operation you will only want to control 48 channels (24 channels on the 12/24
version) as this is the basic control mode. However it is possible to access up to 96 channels (48 on the 12/24 version)
by using the 1-48 (1-24) and the 49-96 (25-49) buttons. You can page between the pages to set the levels as you
require. Remember to re-page to lower these channels if you have set them. The LCD next to the channel numbers
you have selected will light to show which ones you are working on.
Setting a Scene
In Single Scene Mode you are able to crossfade between, or combine two scenes which are 48 channels wide (24
channels on the 12/24 version). To use this function, the NEXT button must be activated. This will allow the A
STORE and B STORE buttons to be used. Select the NEXT button and it will turn red.
A scene is set up using both the PRESET A and PRESET B faders (PRESET A faders control channels 1-24,
PRESET B faders control channels 24 - 48). This scene can then be stored temporarily by pressing the A STORE if
the PRESET A fader is at full or in the B STORE button if the PRESET B fader is at full.
A second scene can then be set up on the PRESET A and PRESET B faders. The A PRESET and B PRESET
MASTER faders can then be used to crossfade between the two scenes.
