Channel Attributes display

The Channel Attribute display shows the following settings for every console channel.

• Independent

Designates whether a channel is dependent upon or independent of

Grandmaster, Flash, Release, Solo, and Blackout control. Independent channels have a “y” in the Ind field, while all others have no entry in the Ind field. You must press [Rel] twice, or in some cases, three times to release independent channels. • Flip

Means that the channel’s output is reversed. A flipped channel’s DMX output is at full when the channel is set to zero and at zero when the channel is set to full. In this display, a flipped channel is identified with a “y” in the Flip field, while unflipped channels have no entry in the

Flip field. • 16-bit

Designates whether a channel is used for 8-bit or 16-bit data. For 8-bit data, there is no entry in the 16b field. For 16-bit data, the 16b field can have a “Hi” or a “Lo” label signifying whether the channel sends the higher or lower bits of a 16-bit control signal. • LTP

Designates whether a channel obeys the Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) or the Latest Takes Precedence (LTP) convention. HTP channels have no entry in the LTP field of the display, while LTP channels are identified by a “y” in the LTP field. • Label

You cannot assign labels to channels with an Express console. However, you may make labeling assignments for Express in Expression

Off-Line and those assignments will remain when the show is read into an Express console. See Expression Off-Line, page 310.
