Strand 300 setup

[gunner]

Hi Guys,

 

With panto just around the corner I have been setting up our strand 300 ready for when the macs arrive. Last year the display setting were changed so when selecting a channel with a mac patched to it, it changed the display to list all the attributes, including the 9 added with the shape generator. I have tracker running, so can see most of the attributes on the top half of the screen, with playback and subs on the lower half. Can anyone suggest what settings I need to change to get the full screen showing all attributes when I select the corresponding channel?

Hi Dave

Its been a long time since I used a 300,try - user setup - live screen layout, see what you come up with.

Or try holding down shift key and pressing the live key to toggle the live display.

I'm waiting for mine to come back from repair.

To do what you're describing, you need to set the desk up to use two monitors.

 

With the number of screens set to 1, you'll always have levels in the top half and the lower half will be whatever combination of playback, subs and effects you determine in the setup screen.

 

If you set the number of screens to 2, with one monitor connected you can toggle between the two displays by holding the shift button and pressing Last Screen - then you'll get one screen full of levels, and another screen full of playback.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks Gareth, I'll give that a go when I get out of rehearsals.

I think that you may have to turn Tracker Preset to On, not the same thing as Tracking. I may be wrong about though, my 500 memory is getting fuzzy...

The OP says he can already see most of the attributes on the top half of the screen, so he already has his smart channel display enabled accordingly. He was just asking about expanding it into the bottom half of the screen.

You should probably set your number of screens to 2. That way you can have a full screen's worth of attributes. Even if you only have one monitor, you could write a macro to swap screens or change between 1 monitor and 2.

Thanks guys. Have been in this morning and set it up as suggested by garath and bobby. Will also set up a macro as suggested by bobby.

Which is exactly what I suggested three days ago in post #3 in this very topic. Is there an echo in here?
