other attributes of those fixtures that are at their “Default” level, into the current
programmer. In other words, it grabs every attribute of any fixture that currently has
any of its attributes active on the output of Clarity.
Typing a fixture number(s) and then pressing Grab grabs just that fixture(s) in the
programmer and shows the parameter values for the selected fixture(s) on the encoder
wheel touch screens “Universal” or “Direct” windows.
Holding Grab and moving an encoder wheel grabs that type of parameter into the
programmer. For example, Holding Grab and moving the Pan encoder wheel grabs both
Pan and Tilt at the current values on stage.
Holding Grab and tapping the Select button on one or more playbacks grabs the
channels controlled by the playback into the programmer. These channels may be
different from the contents of the cue-list if the playback is partially overridden. The
information that is grabbed is post fader, so you get exactly what you are seeing on the
stage.
 Off Sets the intensity of the selected fixtures to zero.
Hint: Copy and Paste is a powerful function. It allows you to duplicate attribute settings
between different types of fixtures with just a few keystrokes.
For example, you have 12 fixtures that use Red, Green, Blue (additive) colour mixing and 12
fixtures that use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow (subtractive) colour mixing. Select the RGB fixtures
and set them to a colour (or even fan a range of colours) then press Copy. Select the CMY
fixtures then press Paste. All 24 fixtures are now set to matching colours. Clarity’s fixture
translation engine is very comprehensive and will attempt to convert all programming for all
attribute types.
The Esc button flashes whenever there is a modal dialogue box open that requires your
attention. Press Esc to close any dialogue box without making changes.
8.7 PLAYBACKS
The quantity and type of playbacks varies with the model of LX console.
 The LX300 has 15 fader playbacks and 15 button playbacks.
 The LX600 has 15 motorised fader playbacks and 60 Action Buttons for Groups, Palettes,
Presets or Cuelists.
 The LX900 has 30 motorised fader playbacks and 60 Action Buttons for Groups, Palettes,
Presets or Cuelists.
The LX600 & LX900 consoles both include high resolution motorized faders on all playbacks as
well as the Grand Master.
With 99 pages of playbacks, the LX600 provides 1,485 simultaneous playbacks and the LX900
doubles this number to 2,970. Managing this many playbacks is easy with motorised faders, as
they instantly slide to the correct position as soon as the new page is selected. This provides
instant visual feedback and allows the level to be manually overridden just by touching the fader.
