mode. When in highlight mode, [channel list] or [Group] [n] [Enter] [Next] will select the channel
list or group and isolate the first channel.
For example, [Highlight] [Enter] [6] [Thru] [1][5] [Enter] [Next] specifies channels 6 through 15
but channel 6 is the only channel selected. 6 is at the highlight level and 7 through 15 are at their
lowlight levels. Pressing [Next] again will put channel 7 at the highlight level and 6 plus 8 through
15 at their lowlight levels. If there is no lowlight preset, these channels are not affected.
Temporary Highlight Level
The highlight preset can be overridden by setting a temporary highlight level. Using [Highlight] [At]
[5][0] [Enter] overrides the highlight preset and sets the highlight level to 50. Non-intensity
parameters are not affected and will use the default highlight setting or the highlight preset.
The temporary highlight level will remain until [Highlight] is pressed again or the channel is no
longer selected.
Highlight/Lowlight Rem Dim
In addition to the highlight and lowlight presets, there is also a setting for {Highlight Rem Dim} in
setup.
See “Manual Control” on page 128.
. When enabled and highlight mode is active, the
intensity for all non-selected channels are automatically set to the Rem Dim value established in
setup, if that Rem Dim value is lower than the channel’s current intensity. This can be used to help
further isolate the channels you are working with in Highlight Mode
If you do not wish to enable Rem Dim globally in setup, you can specify a rem dim on the command
line for temporary use.Rem Dim will use the {Live Rem Dim}, as specified in setup.
• [High_Low] [Rem Dim] [Enter]
Sneak
The [Sneak] command (when a destination is not provided) removes manual changes from
selected channels and allows the channels to sneak back to their background states (cue or
submaster instruction, if any). For Expression users, this is similar to Release.
If there is no background state from the playbacks, the channel parameters will be set to their home
position. The sneak command follows the sneak timing default established in Setup (see Setup -
), unless a timing value is provided as part of the sneak command.
The playback status display will show a red counter for sneak time. If multiple sneak times are being
used, the most recently fired sneak time will be displayed. For an example of the sneak counter, see
Indicators in the Playback Status Display, page 56
The sneak command can also be used to send a channel parameter to a specific destination, either
with or without timing. The following examples illustrate the various methods of using the sneak
command:
• [channel list] [Sneak] [Enter] - releases manual control, setting parameters to their
background state. If there are current values for those parameters from a playback, those are
the values that will be restored. If there are no values from a playback, the parameters are set
to home (or default) position.
• [channel list] [Color] [Sneak] [Enter] - sneaks color of the selected channels to the default
or background state.
• [Sneak] [Enter] - when no channels are selected, restores all channels with manual values
to their background state.
• [Sneak] [Sneak]- puts {AllNPs} [Sneak] on the command line, which sneaks out all non-
intensity parameters. [Sneak] [Sneak] is a self-terminating command.
