[Capture]

Note: Not available on Element Classic.

Capture is a manual priority state. Any captured channel parameter data will be unaffected by playback, but will respond to manual control operations.

When channels are selected, [Capture] [Enter] captures all parameters of those channels. They will remain unavailable for playback or submaster override until they are released from the captured state. Capture is a toggle state, so to release parameters from a captured state, press [Capture] [Enter] again.

  • [1] [Thru] [9] [At] [Full] [Capture] [Enter] - a “C” is displayed next to the captured parameters (intensity) in the channel display. The selected channels are now captured and are unavailable for playback or submaster instructions until they are released from capture.

You may also capture specific parameters of a channel using the parameter buttons in the CIA.

  • [7] {Focus} [Capture] [Enter]

If a group of channels are selected, and some of those channels are captured and some are not, the first press of [Capture] releases all channels from the captured state and the second press captures all manual settings for the selected channels.

Uncaptured channels remain at their current values until restored to previous values or a new instruction is provided. You may restore channels to their background or default state using the [Sneak] [Enter] feature (see Sneak). Or you may leave them in a manual state until a new instruction is received.

It is also possible to latch capture on. This will automatically capture all manual changes as they are made. Pressing [Capture] [Capture] [Enter] automatically captures subsequent manual changes. The command line will read “Capture Enable " and the Capture hardkey will illuminate. To remove the capture latch, press [Capture] [Capture] [Enter] again. Capture latch works on a user by user basis.
