Groups - Introduction

Groups are used mainly for selecting lights, but may also be assigned to masters where they
function like traditional intensity submasters. You can store channel combinations into
groups. The difference between a group and a Preset is that a group does not necessarily
need levels for the channels involved, only the channels selected are stored regardless of
how many other channels are active. Groups also do not contain moving light attributes.

Example: channels and levels are stored in groups, under a single number and name.

For editing groups see

Group List Functions

.

Groups are accessible from the remotes. See

Remote Control

.

group.

• Groups are not automatically inserted into the Sequence in the Main Playback.

• Each group can have a text label.

• A group can be selected in the same way as a single channel

• A group can be loaded to a Master or a channel layout.
