S48 MODELS

Maximum of 48 effects in playback

S24 MODELS

Hydra II has 2000 Effects (Chases) and can playback, at the same time a maximum of 48 or 24 (depending of the model).

An effect is created inserting cues, groups or channels. The effects are executed in Submasters.

Maximum of 24 effects in playback

The effect is an ordered succession of cues (channels or groups), in scene the effect activates these cues

(channels or groups), dynamically, in the order and mode planned. Each item (cue, group, channel) is a

STEP , and each step is a time in scene before to be replaced by the next step.

Effects are very used to create dynamic scenes in a quick way (storms, scenery light kits…)

9.1 RECORDING A EFFECT

An effect is recorded in the effect edition screen. Press:

Record the effect nº (1 to 2000).

Record the next effect.

Any of these commands opens the window of effect editor. Effect editor is divided in 3 parts:

1.

Where you can define the parameters of the effect (times, text, modes…)

2.

9.1.1 PARAMETERS DEFINITION (

1

)

It’s the number of the effect that you are editing. This number identify to the effect.

It defines the effect type. It indicates the content of its steps, in other words; if the step has a cue, a channel, or a group. All the steps in an effect are the same type.

After type is selected, the items list shows all the possible items to insert as steps.

After the first step is edited, the effect type cannot be changed. It’s the first parameter to set in the edition of an effect.

It’s the effect title, a text associated to the effect.

It’s the effect fade time, the fade time when the effect is activated, or deactivated, in automatic mode, allowing a soft activation & deactivation.

It’s the step time, the time that each step is in scene before to be replaced by the next step.

HYDRA II – LT LIGHT

EFFECTS 9-3

It’s the effect direction, the order of secession of the steps in scene:

UP - Ascendant (1, 2, 3...8, 9)

DOWN - Descendant (9, 8, 7... 2, 1)

CYCLIC - Cyclic (1, 2, 3... 8, 9, 9, 8, 7..., 2, 1)

It’s the step attribute, the mode that the steps use to out to scene:

HARD Each step is activated and deactivated without fade.

SOFT UP Each step is activated with a fade and deactivated without fade.

SOFT DOWN Each step is activated without fade and deactivated with fade.

SOFT UP/DOWN Each step is activated and deactivated with fade.

CROSS The steps are activated and deactivated as a split crossfade.

DIPLESS The steps are activated and deactivated as a dipless crossfade.

(In the dipless crossfade a level never fades down of the minimum stored level, in the split crossfade this level can fades down of the minimum stored level)

It’s the step attribute, also named pattern:

NORMAL , the effect starts when all the steps deactivated, and then, each step is activated at the same time that the previous step is deactivated.

INVERT , the effect starts when all the steps activated, and then, each step is deactivated at the same time that the previous step is activated.

BUILD+ , the effect starts when all the steps deactivated, and then, each step is activated; the previous step follows activated.

BUILD, the effect starts when all the steps activated, and then, each step is deactivated; the previous step follows deactivated.

SHADOW , the effect starts when all the steps deactivated, an then, each step is activated; the previous step follows activated; when all the steps are activated begins a new process where each step is deactivated; the previous step follows deactivated.

RANDOM , the steps are activated in random order and random time. Used in effects to simulate fire, etc.

CHAOS , the steps are activated in random order and random time; also, more than one step can be activated at the same time.

Examples for an effect of 4 steps. An activated step is written as “ z

”, and a deactivated is written as “

A QList can be executed (by crossfades) in the modes manual & automatic (temporizing with the program times). A QList can be played back from the Sequencer or any Submaster.

10.2.1 MANUAL PLAYBACK

In a manual playback, the movement of the faders controls the crossfade of the cues in A

(scene) & B (next scene). Both faders have inverted scales; in the same end, one of them, A , is at 100% and the other, B , at 0%.

The crossfade starts with both faders in the same end ( A at 100% / B at 0%), and ends when both faders riche to the opposite end ( A at 0% / B at 100%). At this moment, a cue advances in the QList, this advance doesn’t affect to the scene output:

Cue in B now at 100% jump to A also at 100%, the old cue in A at 0% is out the list, and the next cue in the QList jump to B at 0% as next scene. All is ready to start a new crossfade.

It’s possible to move the faders A and B independently, doing crossfades not homogeneous (fade-in different to fade-out).

A/B Sequencer LEDs, crossfade.

, shows the direction for the fader movement to end the current

Also it’s possible to move the level graphic bars using the mouse scroll on the bar graphic zone.

In a manual playback, the movement of the Submaster fader controls the crossfade of the cues in A (scene) &

B (next scene). The Submaster fader in any of its ends has the cue in A at 100% and the cue in B at 0%.

The crossfade starts from one end ( A at 100% / B at 0%), and finishes in the other end

( A at 0% / B at 100%). At this moment a cue advances in the QList, this advance doesn’t affect to the scene output: Cue in B now at 100% jump to A also at 100%, the old cue in

A at 0% is out the list, and the next cue in the QList jump to B at 0% as next scene. All is ready to start a new crossfade. In a Submaster (only one fader) all manual crossfades are homogeneous (fade-in = fade-out). shows the direction of the movement of the fader to end the current crossfade.

Moving the mouse scroll in the level bar zone, you are simulating the movement of the fader.

10.2.2 AUTOMATIC PLAYBACK

Each GO starts a new crossfade, even if the previous one is not finished.

Fade times of the next cue, T(In) and T(Out), control the double fade. Wait times of the next cue, T(Wait In) and T(Wait Out) control the starting of each fade.

The automatic time, T(Auto) , allows to you to link crossfade automatically .

T(Auto) has no time by default, is Manual , in this case, will be needed press

GO again to start a new crossfade of the QList.

Times of the cue in B (next cue) are the times that control the current crossfade. Its output times are applied to the fade-out of the cue in A , and its input times are applied to the fade-in of the cue in B .

QList is played back in numerical order, to break this order there is a Jump command.

A Dipless crossfade is a crossfade where, the channels/dimmers shared by A and B never reach a level smaller than the level of the cue in B (next cue).

About dipless crossfade, for all console crossfades, the console can use one of these two methods:

T-IN: Channels/Dimmers, of the cue in B , fade from its level in A (scene) to its level in B

(target) in T(In) seconds.

T-IN/OUT: Channels/Dimmers, of the cue in B , fade from its level in A (scene) to its level in

B (target) in T(In) seconds if level in B is greater than in A (example, fading from 20% at

80%). Channels/Dimmers, of the cue in B , fade from its level in A (scene) to its level in B

Each cue has a Jump cell associated where it’s possible to enter the next cue to play back in the sequence. When Jump cell is empty, the next cue will be the corresponding by numerical order.

Each Jump has a Loop cell associated where it’s possible to enter the number of times ( 0-99 ) that the Jump will be executed. When Loop cell is empty, the Jump will be always executed as an infinite Jump .

To delete a Jump or Loop insert the number 0 .

Example - There are 10 consecutive cues, from 1 to 10. Cue 7 has programmed a Jump to cue 9; and cue 10 has programmed a Jump to cue 1 that will be executed only 3 times ( Loop ). When this QList is loaded in the Sequencer, the playback list is reorganized as the

Sequence window shows. Note that the Loop value decreases until 0

(in pink). After Loop = 0 , its Jump is not executed more.

**In list, cues that are in A and B have a different color

(dark cyan and cyan respectively) that the rest of cues. This list always is opened from the beginning. If inside this list you press again, the list goes to select the cue en B .
