Encoder soft buttons

A series of buttons are included in each of the four encoders sections of the display including
{Home}, {Last} and {Next} or {Min} and {Max}, and depending on the type of parameter, a {Mode}
button. Reference

Encoder soft buttons, page 107

for details of use.

Home
Each parameter has an associated {Home} key in the encoder LCD. This accesses any parameter
and returns it to its default position. Additionally, the control keypad has a [Home] key located below
[Sneak]. The [Home] key on the control keypad is a channel level instruction, meaning the entire
luminaire will return to its home position unless you modify the instruction by selecting specific
parameters on the CIA.[Home] does not affect intensity and can be used in conjunction with the
parameter touchbuttons to home specific parameters only.

The following examples illustrate use of these two keys, both from the control keypad and the
encoder LCD:

{Home} - when pressed from the encoder LCD, only the associated parameter of the selected

channels will return to its home position.

[1] {Home} [Enter] - homes all non-intensity parameters of channel 1. When this command

overrides playback data, it results in a manual value for the associated parameters. When this
command is an override of only manual data, it returns the parameters to their home position
and removes the manual setting.

[1] <All NPs> [Home] [Enter] - homes only the non-intensity parameters of channel 1.

[1] {Color} [Home] [Enter] - homes all of the color data for channel 1.

The encoder LCD will repaint with all color media available for the the

selected device.

Select any of the available media options, then touch the text

“EXPANDED” to close the expanded display and return to the

encoder page.
