Playing Back the Stack
Running a show from the stack differs significantly from using regular playbacks
because the stack is designed for dipless cross fades.
Dipless Cross Fades
A cross fade is the action of changing smoothly from one scene to another. The intent is
a smooth transition from one look to another over a fixed time. The term “dipless”
describes a method of handling intensity that does not disturb the level of lights with
identical settings in the current and upcoming scenes.
