Park

Park freezes fixtures, as on grandMA: they stay exactly at what was being output when you parked them, all their attributes, whatever happens next. Useful to keep a profile on during a focus, or to lock a faulty fixture.

Parking

Park on the command keypad

On the command keypad, two quick taps on Off: the command line shows Park. Then, as you prefer:

  • "Fixture 1 Thru 5" then Enter: these fixtures;
  • Enter directly: the fixtures selected in the programmer;
  • two quick taps on Fixture ("Park Selection") then Enter: the selection too.

A sub-fixture parks its whole fixture, head and sub-fixtures included.

Releasing: Unpark

Two quick taps on On: the command line shows Unpark, then the same ways of designating the fixtures. They immediately take back what the Cue Lists and the programmer give them.

What Park does

  • A parked fixture is output frozen: nothing goes above it, neither a Cue List, nor the programmer, nor a Cue List with Super priority.
  • Its values are the ones that were being output at the time of the Park, attribute by attribute.

Where to see it

  • in the Layouts: a blue band at the bottom of the fixture's square (see Layout);
  • in the Fixtures window: a blue band under its number, and its values in blue (see Fixtures).

History and show

Park and Unpark are history entries ("Park Fixture 1 Thru 5"): Undo cancels them. Parked fixtures are saved in the show: they stay parked when it is reopened.

If none of the targeted fixtures is patched (or, for Unpark, none is parked), nothing happens.
