Programmer Modes

There are two Programmer modes: “live” and “blind” (or "Preview")

In live mode, all levels in the Programmer are sent to the DMX output and have the highest priority. (You can see levels coming from the Programmer in the Live Output window, they’re the ones highlighted in red.)

Nothing, with the exception of the Grandmaster or a submaster specifically set to ignore the Programmer, overrides the Programmer in live mode.

In blind mode, levels in the Programmer are not output; however, they can still be recorded into cues, groups, presets, etc. They simply won’t be seen on stage. When in blind mode, “BLIND” appears in the header of the Programmer screen.

To toggle between live and blind modes, press the Preview button.

If you use the Live Time function, Blind will enable/disable at the time set as the live time. This can be very powerful when punting lights live!
