OmniSistem Q Scan - Manual (Page 8)

• Text.
Simple laser text messages are projected on a flat surface to be read by the audience.
• Animations
Still pictures and moving pictures such as cartoons are projected. Q-Scan features Lightspeed® Design
Group Animations.
Note: Most modes support sound influence. Enabling the MIC option for a fader replaces that fader value with
sound sensitivity.
You are presented with a set of buttons and faders in a manner that is easy to use and easy on the eyes.
The 3 buttons at the top left are used somewhat often, followed by a general helper display, followed by less
often used setup and configuration buttons.
On/Off
The On and Off buttons are used to enable or suspend laser output. The Off button also suspends the Auto
Ramp so that you can select a starting position without fighting the ramp function.
Sync
The Sync button is used to start all variables at the same time like a starter gun is used to start all runners at
the same time.
Modes
The next row of Brown buttons, from left to right and down the right side, that select specific MODES of
operation. Click Modes button in the help menu for more detailed information.
Horizontal Faders
The center is usually a set of 6 faders with labeled definitions to their left. These faders allow you to adjust
several variables that modify the laser presentation.
Each fader has an AUTO and MIC override.
When AUTO is enabled the fader is slowly ramped up and down for slow morphs of that variable.
When MIC is enabled the fader is disabled and that variable is replaced by the audio input located on the
Laser Unit.
Below the faders is 4 Quick Text windows. Simply click on the text window and enter you own text. Then,
when ready, click SHOW TEXT to put that text on laser display. Click Text button in the help menu for more
detailed information.
Below the Text section are EDIT, SELECT# and FAST PAD.
The Edit button activates a simple graphics editor allowing you to design your own Custom graphics. Click
Editor button in the help menu for more detailed information.
The Select1 through Select8 buttons simply force the top fader to a fixed position that for those modes
where the top fader has only eight options.
