Blind mode
Blind mode lets you prepare the next part of the show while the room keeps seeing the current one. Everything you edit and launch goes to a copy of the show; the lights carry on exactly as before.
Go blind
Click the crossed-out eye beside the lock at the front of the header. While blind, its buttons sit there too, or in a narrow window under Blind with three dots. The window gets a purple frame and the stage shows the blind look. A small Live picture in its corner shows what the lights are doing.
Now edit, launch and try things as usual.
What is shared
- Tempo and the grand master are shared: changing them changes the lights.
- Setup's panels stay on screen but can't be used, because they work on the real lights. Anything they were holding, such as a located head or a tested channel, is released.
- The touch remote keeps playing the live show.
Come back
Choose one of three ways to leave:
| The lights get | |
|---|---|
| Take over | The blind look, edits and launches alike. The current tempo, tempo source and Link permission stay. |
| Keep edits | Your edits (new clips, changed lanes, tracks, scenes), but they keep playing what they were playing, following clips to where their scene rows moved. Tracks added in blind start stopped. |
| Discard | Nothing changes. |
Take over and Keep edits crossfade over the show's fade time; ⇧-click to cut instead. Each is one undo step. Nothing from blind is saved until you take it over or keep it.
