LIGHT BOARD TIP SHEET
ETC COLORSOURCE AV 40
- Wake up (Turn ON) the lighting board by pressing the Blue button.
- The screen will wake up and you will see the Stage Map. Press the Playbacks button at the top edge of the screen.
- Playbacks control a group of lights. The set of 4 faders above the screen are Master faders. Raise the one directly above the word “Playbacks”. (The second fader from the left.)
- The bump buttons to the left of the screen, numbered 1 - 10, and below the faders should be lit purple. When they are purple, you are controlling preset Playbacks.
- The number in the upper left corner, of the purple boxes on the screen, correspond to the fader to the left that you need to raise.
- Multiple faders may need to be raised to gain the look you want.
For example, J-Channel would need fader 2 (desk talent) & fader 8 (j-channel) to be raised. One Playback is for the desk / anchor and the other is for the background.
- To control lights individually, you need to tap on the Channel button, which can be found on the left edge of the screen. You can control up to 80 lights. Channel 1 - 40 will show up first but by tapping the Channel button again, you will have access to 41 - 80. Every light has a label that lists the Dimmer number. That number matches a fader on the board.
- When you are done, lower all the faders.
