Attention! Starting from this version. The image files are larger than 1.44 kb. They are compressed in order to fit on 1 diskette. In the Sabre download, you will find special software that supports reading compressed files. This software is called RSQE01T1.imf. You must burn this software BEFORE loading SBRD05*: 1. Cold start the console. 2. Burn RSQE01T1.imf only. 3. Turn the power off and then on. 4. Burn SBRD05* image and text file. 5. Turn the power off and then on. 6. Cold Start the console. Generally, burning the RSQ file need only be done once. The next system software files (higher than SBRD05R1) can be loaded normally. If you go back to SBRD04*.imf, you must burn the RSQ file again when you go to SBRD05*.IMF.

Backup system The full tracking Sabre Backup system consists of a 19” rack mount and a small control panel. The 19” rack contains all of Sabre’s internal electronics. The Backup system tracks editing functions and playback operations carried out on the main console. If Sabre fails the Backup System automatically takes over and you can continue the show. The Backup generates its own output, which can be merged with Sabre’s outputs using Compulite’s merger. In case of a main system failure you must select the Backup system by moving the Merger’s selection fader. Output based on E-Mix peripherals also allows automatic merging. When using Ethernet, the switchover to the Backup system is automatic. The main console and the Backup can be used in different combinations. If the main console CPU fails, you can continue working using the main console key panel and the Backup’s CPU. The Backup panel can use the main CPU. Take control on the Backup panel by pressing [CLEAR]. The Backup panel supports editing and playback functions. The Backup panel contains 16 controllers. The lower 8 controllers are organized into pages to mimic the main panel controllers. Controllers also mimic C/D and the submasters. The Backup also tracks and responds to peripherals connected to the main console on the Remote bus, MIDI In, DMX In and SMPTE. In the event of a main system failure, the Backup takes over these signals.
Note The alphanumeric keyboard is not supported on the Sabre Backup. 4.
Display Macros The NSK mode Display allows you to create and save Display set-ups. The Display mode functions like Macros, hence the name Display Macros, containing display configurations that include all monitor and controller LCD displays. Display Macros can be used at any time without disturbing your current operational sequence. You can save any display configuration. Example: Monitor 1 shows spots 1 – 24, is on page 4 in the Channel window, monitor 2 shows spots 49 – 72, monitor 3 shows the Memory List, and the Controller’s LCD shows assignments and text. The Display Macro saves the display status, but not the contents. Example: A Display Macro was saved with the Memory List on monitor 2. When the Display Macro was saved, the default Q-List

11. Palettes Palettes are a non-tracking database of spot parameter values, channel intensity values, and scroller frame values. Sabre supports 999 Palettes. Palette information for spot parameters is stored per spot type. Example: Cyberlight spots and Superscan Zoom are selected in the editor and have parameter value assignments. Any Palette stored will contain values for Cyberlight spots and Superscan Zoom fixtures. The information stored for a spot type can be applied to all spots of that type. In other words, if the Palette contains information for Superscan Zoom the information can be applied to all Superscan Zoom fixtures in your rig. Spot types reference the ID number included in the spot definition in the Mix Output menu. Different fixtures can share Palette information if the fixtures have the same ID number. Example: Two different fixtures that use CYM color mixing can share color Palettes. In the Mix Output menu/Define Device assign the same ID number to the two fixtures. Channel information is per channel and scroller information is per scroller channels. Example: storing a Palette from the editor. The editor is: channel 1 – 6 @ 80%. Scroller channels 101 – 106 at scroller frame 12. Therefore the Palette can be applied to channels 1 6 and 101 106.
Palettes are stored and retrieved using the NSKs in Palette mode or using the numeric keypad. Palettes are stored with the show file and in a separate Palette Only file. Palettes may be loaded independently of show files. 11.1
Programming a Palette If more than one of a spot type is in the editor, the parameter values of the first spot number of that type are stored in the Palette. If the NSKs are in Palette mode a window opens when [ASSIGN] is pressed. The window gives you the option of including or excluding the X, Y, and Dimmer parameters when storing the Palette. The window looks like this:

If the Palette does contain the channel, scroller or spot type the Palette information is overwritten. You can also use direct Palette modification, which begins by selecting the Palette.

NOVRAM bit M Remote control panel layout NOVRAM bit M URC Layout can be toggled between 0 - Old and 1 - New. The Old panel layout refers to the panel layout of the original Remote Control Unit that worked with Animator. New refers to the new product Universal Remote Control. The default is 0 – Old.
12.8.3
NOVRAM Bit P- SMPTE Interface NOVRAM Bit P- SMPTE Interface- has been added to Special Functions. When toggled to 0 – External, the console recognizes an outboard SMPTE generator. In this case, DMX Input cannot be used. When toggled to 1 –internal, the console recognizes the internal SMPTE clock and does NOT recognize an external SMPTE converter. In this case, DMX Input can be used.
Note To use SMPTE toggle bit O – SMPTE to Yes. 13. SMPTE SMPTE time codes can be assigned to memories and Events. Events with SMPTE assignments operate in response to the time code trigger. The trigger originates from an external SMPTE generator or the internal SMPTE clock. Memories with SMPTE assignments operate when they are assigned to a playback device (A/B, C/D, or controllers). The trigger originates from an external SMPTE generator or the internal SMPTE clock. When SMPTE is active the clock is displayed at the right of the command line above the console clock. The SMPTE clock digits are displayed in different colors and different colored fields according to the clock’s status; the clock can be running, the clock can be accessed for resetting, the clock can be stopped. There are three basic SMPTE functions. SMPTE on - Playback SMPTE off Teach SMPTE – a convenient method for assigning time codes to Events and memories.

Assigning Time Codes Using Teach The Teach function can be used to assign SMPTE time codes to memories and Events. The Teach function uses Sabre’s internal SMPTE clock. Each time the time code is stored to an Event or a memory the result is live on stage. The Teach option is used only when the memory or Event has no previous SMPTE assignment. It is not allowed to overwrite a time assignment using Teach. To modify assignments use the manual assignment.

If the SMPTE generator is not active, turn it on after step 2. 14. Spot Selection There is a new spot range selection option using the NSKs in Spot mode. Pressing 2 NSKs simultaneously selects or cancels the selection of all spots included in the range.
Example: Select spots 10 20. When the NSK mode is Spot and spot 10 is not selected, press and hold NSK 10 and then press NSK 20. Spots 10 20 are selected.
Example: Cancel the selection for spots 6 12. When the NSK mode is Spot and spot 6 is selected press and hold NSK 6 and then press NSK 12. Spots 6 12 are deselected. This is like using [EXCEPT].
The direction of the selection is remembered. This is especially important when programming Effects. Effects behave differently when the spot selection is 1 12 or 12 1.
15. Swap Screen A new key has been added to the console – [SWAP SCREENS]. It is located between [MIDI] and [IGNITE]. This key swaps between monitor 1 and monitor 2. LED On indicates that the screens are swapped. To print monitor 2, swap the screens and press Print Screen on the alphanumeric keyboard. This key does not affect monitor 3.

Bugs Fixed 1. Alpha mode 1.1 When in the Record menu it was impossible to switch the NSKs to Alpha mode. Now you can switch to Alpha mode while in the menu. 2. A/B crossfader 2.1 Pressing [GO TO] when the memory on board was a loop initiated a crossfade to the first memory after the loop instead of the next memory in the loop. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Andy at Stagetec. 737/ 3. Autosave 3.1 Files created by Autosave when Autosave was interrupted by exiting to Service Tools through menu 8 appeared in the list of Autosave files, but could not be loaded because they were incomplete. Now Autosave files that are the wrong size are automatically deleted and do not appear in the Autosave file list. 3.2 Sometimes Autosave started when recording a file in the Record menu. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Eldad at TAPAC, Israel. 4. Backup Unit – attention Beta testers 4.1 It was impossible to modify the chaser rate and attempting to change the chaser rate corrupted the chase rate display. This is now fixed. 4.2 The Parameter Wheel resolution was too slow. The wheel resolution has been adjusted. 4.3 The Backup Take control message now is displayed a bit longer. 4.4 When an assignment was freed from controllers 19 – 24 on the main console, the LED on the Backup Unit remained lit. This does not happen anymore. 4.5
[EFFECT] accessed the Effect Editor, which is not operable on the Backup, instead of an Effect selection key. This is now fixed.
4.6
Each time you pressed [CLEAR] to regain control on the main console after once switching to the Backup when the main console was in Menu mode caused a flip in clearing the menu. When it was cleared on the Backup it was displayed on the main and vice versa. This is now fixed. When the output was from the Backup unit, switching off the Main console interrupted the output for a few seconds. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Patrick at Crystal, France. When there was a Submaster Wing connected to the main console, turning the Backup off and on disconnected the Submaster Wings. This does not happen anymore. When a Submaster Wing was connected to the Backup and the main console was off, attempting to make assignments to the Wing jammed the Backup. This is now fixed. There was no indication that a Remote Control Unit was connected. Now a flag at the top of the screen indicates the Remote Control Unit. When loading a configuration the bit F in Service Tools/Config Sys/Special Functions was changed from Backup to Main. This does not happen anymore. The Backup did not recognize when the B and D faders were disabled. This is now fixed.
4.7 4.8 4.9 4.10 4.11 4.12 4.13 4.14
The [REM DIM] key was missing on the Sabre Backup. It is now the Shift of F2. When QLists were assigned to controller 19 – 24 the LEDs did not light correctly and other problems with LEDs appeared. This is now fixed.

5. Beeper 5.1 There was no warning Beep when erasing individual Libraries and Snaps. Now there is. 6. Blind 6.1 Pressing [MEMORY or SPOT or CHANNEL] [BLIND] [BLIND] [BLIND] [MEMORY or SPOT or CHANNEL] crashed the console. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Reind at BEO. 7. Chasers 7.1 When a chaser was running on a controller with the controller at 0% and the same group of spots was active on A at FL, pressing [DIM/GO] momentarily let the dimmer level on a flash. This does not happen anymore. 7.2
7.3 7.4
When a chaser with a finite loop assignment was running on a controller, pressing [GO] in the middle of a crossfade changed the loop assignment to an automatic continuous loop. This does not happen anymore. Sometimes hard chasers did not start immediately after receiving the Go command. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Shokei Hirao at Status, Japan. When using a multifade – [GO] [GO] – within a chaser, the chaser stopped when the fade to the next memory was completed. This does not happen anymore.
8. Controllers 8.1 When the editor contained spots appearing in red and spots in white, assignments to controllers assigned the spots displayed in red and cleared the spots displayed in white. Now the spots displayed in red are assigned to the controller and the spots displayed in white remain in the editor. To assign the entire editor to a controller, press [ENTER] (so all of the spots are displayed in white) before making the assignment. 8.2 Under LTP when the controllers had the same priority different memories were assigned to 2 controllers - [MEMORY #] [SOFT]. A Go command was given to one assignment and then a Go command was given to the second assignment. Press [GO] again for the first assignment caused the memory to jump in instead of fading from the current output. Now it always fades. 8.3 Freeing a chaser from a controller caused x/y values to jump to zr and then a fade to the values on A/B. This does not happen anymore. 8.4 The text for a memory with an Effect assigned to a controller did not appear on the LCD display. 8.5 Memories with Effects in Q-Lists assigned to controllers did not work correctly. This is now fixed. 9. 9.1
Copy Using [SPOT] [•] after the copy function selected the source spot for copy instead of the target spot (the last spot selected). This does not happen anymore.
10. Crossfaders 10.1 When fading to a memory using the sequence [MEMORY #] [GO TO] the fade took place in the memory time instead of 1 second. This is now fixed. 10.2
If [HOLD] was pressed for C/D when there was no assignment, the LED blinked. If, in this situation, an assignment is made to C/D it is impossible to fade the assignment manually. This does not happen anymore.
10.3
In certain situations, pressing [GO] on A/B corrupted a group assigned to a controller. This does not happen anymore. When the incoming memory had Cut as Time-out, the crossfade was not executed correctly. This is now fixed.
10.4 10.5
[HOLD] did not work while Delay time was running. Now it works.

[BACK] did not work correctly when the current memory was part of a Loop 1 with a delay time. This is now fixed. Thank you Fred Lindauer and Colleen at Morpheus.
11. Cyberlight and Intellabeam 11.1 Homing the parameters closes the shutter. Now the shutter remains open. 12. Delta 12.1 Applying a Delta to a parameter that was excluded from a library category stripped library assignments (belonging to that category) from the memories. This is now fixed. Thank you Jasper at BEO, Holland. 13. Delete show files 13.1 If you selected a show file that does not exist there was no warning message. The incorrect message Play Deleted was generated. This does not happen anymore. 14. Disk management 14.1 Switching from the hard disk to the floppy drive and back to the hard disk bumped you out of the original subdirectory. This does not happen anymore. 15. Display 15.1 Releasing spots from an Effect caused a display bug. this is now fixed. 15.2 Examining an Effect library using the NSK displayed extraneous spots. This does not happen anymore. 15.3 The Effect exam did not up date when the controller with an Effect assignment was moved to its bottom end stop and then moved to Full. This is now fixed. 15.4 When assigning a library to a parameter running under Effect, EF was not displayed in red as it is supposed to be. Now EF is displayed in red to denote a library assignment. 15.5 15.6 15.7 15.8 15.9
Pressing [WINDOW] and them selecting spots and entering the Effect editor corrupted the display on monitor 1. Assigning an editor group with a running Effect to one of the crossfaders made the display jump on monitor 1. This does not happen anymore. When the system was configured for 48 spots and 3 monitors, monitor 3 did not show the Stage display. This is now fixed. A Display Macro with the Effects mode Exam on window 3 (monitor 1) did not recall correctly. Now it does. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria. The sequence for examining a Palette got stuck in the command line and could not be cleared. This is now fixed.
15.10 The display did not open correctly for the sequence [SPOT #] [EFFECT]. Now it is correct. 15.11 When the console, with 3 monitors, was configured for less than 48 spots, [PAGE UP] did not work on all of the monitors. Now [PAGE UP] works consistently on all 3 monitors. 15.12 Display problems in Filer were fixed. 15.13 Selecting an unassigned Macro number when the Effects editor was open corrupted the display on monitor 1. This is now fixed. 15.14 Events were not displayed correctly in the XFade Exam. This is now fixed. 16. DMX Input 16.1 Clearing a channel in the DMX Input patch cleared all Macros assigned to DMX input channels. This is now fixed.

17. Editing 17.1 Copying from a spot assigned on A and then storing to the assignment on using STORE STORE corrupted the crossfader. This is now fixed. 17.2 The Recall Last Selection function did not work correctly after library modification. This is now fixed. 17.3 Erroneously releasing a spot from memories, when the spot was not in those memories in the first place, generated an incorrect message. This does not happen anymore. 17.4 17.5

Pressing a parameter key after using [+1STORE] deselected the spots in the editor. Now the selected spots (those that appear in red) remain selected. Spots were added to active selection instead of replacing the active selection when using variations on the following sequence: [SPOT 2] [HOME] [CLEAR] [2]. Spot 1 remained selected (displayed in red) in the editor and spot 2 was also selected (displayed in red). This is now fixed. Moving the Iris wheel for spots that are not defined with p1 (such as MAC 600, VL5, etc.) bumped out Position library assignments. This happened when p1 had not been excluded from the Position library. This is now fixed. When the system is configured for USA (in Special Functions) The sequence [CHANNEL #] [@] [##] [#] changed the intensity assignment. Now the third digit selects a new channel. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada. When a number selection was entered after moving a wheel, the number was considered a value entry for the selected parameter. Now the number entry selects a new spot. If you wan to change the value entry, press [@] [#]. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada.
The sequence [CHANNEL] [ ] [ ] [FRAME #] did not work. Now it does.
17.10 The sequence [GROUP #] [FRAME] did not work. Now it does. 17.11 The sequence [CHANNEL] [•] [FRAME] did not work. Now it does. 17.12 Certain sequences changed the Number Default mode from Spot or Channel to memory. This does not happen anymore. 17.13 The sequence [MASK] [POS/GOBO/COLOR #] entered the library values to the editor. Now the spots in the library are selected. Thank you Michael Lindauer, USA. 17.14 The sequence for erasing loops was permitted when the selected memory did not have a loop. This resulted in erasing the memory itself. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Morpheus, USA. 17.15 In certain cases pressing [CL1] during memory modification, cleared the library assignment from some spots in the memory. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Alon at Danor, Israel. 17.16 When there was a memory with an Effect for y active on the crossfader, selecting a spot from the active memory, homing the parameter values and moving the TB resulted in an Effect on Y, This does not happen anymore. 17.17 In certain instances, an Invalid Sequence message was generated after pressing [FULL] when assigning intensity to channels. This is now fixed. 17.18 Pressing [CLEAR] when an Effect was active in the editor corrupted the Effect. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria. 17.19 Selecting a spot directly after operating a Flip Macro generated an Invalid Sequence message. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Ragnor Horntvedt. 17.20 Selecting a channel directly after releasing a channel from a memory selected the released channel also. This does not happen anymore. 17.21 After using [RESET] a few times during Channel selection the sequence [CHANNEL] [•] did not select the correct channels. This is now fixed.

17.22 The sequence [SPOT #] [HOME] [FULL] resulted in Invalid Sequence instead of assigning Full to the dimmer. Now the dimmer goes to Full. 18. Effects #] [EFFECT] (assign PrimitIve) [+STORE] 18.1 This sequence jammed the console: [SPOT # [assign memory to A] [move fader to A and then back to B] [select same spots again]. This does not happen anymore. 18.2 It was impossible to add an Effect using STORE STORE to spots in a memory assigned to a controller. This is now fixed. 18.3 Some Effect Palettes did not work. Now all the Effect Palettes work correctly.

#] [EFFECT #] The following sequence selected the spots in the original Effect. [SPOT 3 [EFFECT] [ENTER]; in other words, if the Effect was programmed using spots 20 – 24 and the spots selected at the beginning of the above sequence were 1 10, spots 20 24 were selected after pressing [ENTER]. This does not happen anymore. Selecting all of the spots under Effect with the sequence [SPOT] [EFFECT] and then pressing [EFFECT] again to open the Effect editor did open the editor, and the editor was not functional. This is now fixed. Modifying an Effect on A/B using STORE STORE was not effective immediately. it was necessary to reassign the memory. Now the modification is effective when stored. The following sequence did not work: [EFFECT] [POSITION/COLOR/GOBO] [NSK or #] #] [modify] [STORE]. Now it does. [SPOT # When Delta Bottom was assigned to a mixed step parameter, the Delta arrow display did not reflect the change. This is now fixed.
Pressing [SPOT #] [EFFECT] when there were Effect assignments to playback devices (although the Effect assignments were not active) entered all of the spots in the on board Effect assignments to the Effects editor. This does not happen anymore.
18.10 The Effect editor did not work when spots were selected using the key sequence [SPOT] [•] directly after storing an Effect memory. This is now fixed. 18.11 [CLEAR] did not work with Effects. Now it does. 18.12 Effect memories in a QList did not run properly when the QList was assigned to a controller. Now they run as programmed. 18.13 Selecting a range of spots assigning an Effect, then selecting some spots within the range and assigning an effect and assigning the editor to a crossfader released the Effect from the spots not included in the second selection. Following the same selection sequence, but assigning the editor to a controller entirely released the spots not included in the second selection. Now the spots not included in the second selection are retained in the editor with their Effect assignment.
#] [parameter key] [+1STORE] assigning a Primitive to the selected spots 18.14 After [SPOT # was blocked. This is now fixed. 18.15 While in the Effect editor it was impossible to select a library. This is now fixed. 18.16 While in the Effect editor it to change the base discrete or mixed values using [STEP UP] and [STEP DN]. Now these keys work while in the Effect editor. 18.17 Selecting spots using the NSKs, assigning an Effect, and selecting different spots using the NSKs resulted in both the former and the latter spot selections selected (displayed in red) in the editor. This does not happen anymore. 18.18 The sequence [SPOT #] [EFFECT] now generates an Invalid Sequence message. 18.19 Assigning an editor group with a running Effect to one of the crossfaders made the display jump on monitor 1. This does not happen anymore.

This is now fixed. 764 18.21 Selecting a spot with an Effect currently playing back and moving a parameter wheel stopped the Effect. Now the Effect keeps running. 689 18.22 Hard chasers with Effects did not run properly. This is now fixed. 616 18.23 Attempting to assign an Effect Palette to spots while in the Effect Editor jammed the system. This does not happen anymore. 837 18.24 The following sequence that modifies an Effect Rate active in a memory on A/B corrupted the memory; [SPOT] [EFFECT] [EFFECT] [RATE] [wheel] [STORE] [STORE]. This now works correctly. 841 18.25 Assigning a Primitive to a parameter or editing an assigned Effect other than Base was impossible after electing spots using the sequence [SPOT] [•]. This is now fixed. 764 18.26 Selecting a spot with an Effect currently playing back and moving a parameter wheel stopped the Effect. Now the Effect keeps running. 689 18.27 Hard chasers with Effects did not run properly. This is now fixed. 616 18.28 Attempting to assign an Effect Palette to spots while in the Effect Editor jammed the system. This does not happen anymore. 837 18.29 The following sequence that modifies an Effect Rate active in a memory on A/B corrupted the memory; [SPOT] [EFFECT] [EFFECT] [RATE] [wheel] [STORE] [STORE]. This now works correctly. 841 18.30 A memory with an Effect on the dimmer parameter running on a controller was visible even when the controller was at its bottom end-stop. This is now fixed. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada. 18.31 Channels with Effects running on controllers did not work properly. This is now fixed. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada. 18.32 When an Effect was assigned as a grp to crossfader A (when A is the active fader), the Effect jumped to its Base value and then began. This does not happen anymore. 18.33 Selecting a parameter after pressing [PARAM RETURN] did not deselect previously selected parameters. This is now fixed. 18.34 The following sequences did not work: [CHANNEL #] [EFFECT] [NSK] and [GROUP] [NSK] [EFFECT] [NSK]. Now they do. 18.35 Channel were not automatically given intensity after the sequence [CHANNEL] [# [EFFECT editor]. Now the channels’ dimmers are automatically assigned at 75%. 18.36 Now the default size for channels is FL and the default Delta is Top.
#] [FRAME]
18.37 After the sequence [SPOT #] [parameter key] [EFFECT] [assign Primitive] [+1STORE] you could not proceed directly to assigning the Effect to a crossfader because the command line was still busy. This is now fixed. 18.38 The text of an Effect Palette was not copied when copying an Effect Palette. Now it is copied. 18.39 It was impossible to erase the text from an Effect palette. This is now fixed. 18.40 The command line did not show the key sequence [EFFECT #] [TEXT]. Now the command line shows the entire sequence. 18.41 When a controller was blacked out the Effect continued running. Now it stops. 18.42 Modifying the Base value of x was shown on the monitor, but not on the LCD display. Now the modified value is also displayed on the LCD display. 18.43 When spots with a mixed step dimmer were active on a controller, selecting those spots and entering the Effect editor forced the dimmer to the illegal value 0.F. This does not happen anymore.

This does not happen anymore. 18.46 The sequence [SPOT #] [EFFECT #/NSK] did not work. Now it does. 18.47 Returning a spot from the editor to its grp crossfader assignment after editing – [SPOT #] [modify] [C] - bumped Effect out of all the other spots in the grp. This is now fixed. 18.48 Releasing some channels including in an Effect changed the Base values of the remaining channels. This does not happen anymore. 18.49 In certain rare cases, storing a memory with an Effect when there was a chaser running corrupted the memory. This does not happen anymore. 18.50 The Effect exam displayed incorrect information for an Effect, with more than 88 channels, which was updated. This is now fixed. 18.51 Offset Spread assigned to an Effect with channels was calculated incorrectly. This is now fixed. 18.52 It was impossible to change the Base value for channels in the Effects editor. Now the Base value can be changed in the Effects editor. 18.53 In certain instances it was impossible to store a modified Base rate when in the normal editor. This is now fixed. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria. 18.54 The Effects on NSKs 1 – 100 were overwritten when attempting to store an Effect to NSKs higher than. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Ragnor Horntvedt. 18.55 Storing Effects using the sequence [=] [EFFECT #] [STORE] did not update the NSK LEDs in Effect mode. Now the LEDs update. Thank you Ragnor Horntvedt. 18.56 Some display bugs were fixed. 18.57 The wheels’ LCD display did not refresh when exiting the Effects editor. Now it does. 18.58 When working in the Effect Editor it was impossible to add an Effect from an effect palette. Now Effect Palettes can be used when in the Effect editor. 18.59 In the Effects editor, going to the second parameter page for Big spots did not refresh the parameter names displayed. This is now fixed. 18.60 Parameter values were not displayed correctly for big spots when examining an Effect Palette. This is now fixed. 18.61 Pressing [SPOT] [CLEAR] after assigning an Effect to the spot changed the Base value of the Effect. This does not happen anymore. 19. Ethernet 19.1 Clearing DMX Out assignments in the Mix Output menu was not supported on Ethernet devices. This is now fixed. 19.2 When Cyberlights are controlled through an Ethernet node, the shutter closed when pressing F2 Convert To in the Spot Patch menu. This does not happen anymore. 19.3 When the console and CompuLINK were assigned ID 000 no VCs higher than VC 4 were broadcast. This is now fixed. Note: Software UNA03B02 is needed for this fix! 20.

Now the load includes all information in the Q-List. 25.3 In certain instances, loading selected memories or the Mix Device only generated traps and caused other corruption. This does not happen anymore. 25.4 Loading entire QLists that had library assignments when there were different libraries present in the system caused library anomalies. This is now fixed. 25.5 When there were more than 2 pages of Palette files displayed in the Load menu, it was impossible to go the second page. This is now fixed. 25.6 Loading a show under Warning Difference, when the current Device List (in the Mix Output menu) and the Device List in the show file are different corrupted the Wheel Bank set up in the Mix Output menu. This is now fixed. 25.7 It was impossible to load Palette files only. This is now fixed. 25.8 Loading a single Palette to a different Palette number was not an available option. Now this is possible. 25.9 Selecting to load Palettes only automatically displayed the Palette files on monitor 2 also. This does not happen anymore. 25.10 Loading a Q-List to a Q-List that was not the current default deleted all memories in the console except memories assigned to playback devices. This does not happen anymore. 26. Macro 26.1 The Teach macro window remained open after storing a Macro. This does not happen anymore. 26.2
After pressing [GROUP #] Flip did not work. This is now fixed. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria.
27. Martin PAL 27.1 Loading, Mix Device only or through Warning Difference, a show containing Martin PALs (big spots) blocked access to the second parameter page. This is now fixed.

28. Memory operations 28.1 There were problems when using STORE STORE to modify a memory on A/B when the default QList and was different from the QList assigned to A/B. This does not happen anymore. 28.2
28.3
28.4
28.5 28.6 28.7
Using the sequence [MEMORY] [A] [modify] [STORE] when the default Q-List was different from the QList assignment on A/B erroneously stored the memory from A to the default Q-List. Now the memory is stored to the correct Q-List. Under certain memory modification operations, memories were stored to the wrong QList. Example: The default QList is QList 2. The modification sequence used was [QLIST 1] [MEMORY 2] [ENTER] [modify] [=] [ENTER [STORE] The store took place in the default QList (QList 2) instead of the QList selected at the beginning of the modification sequence. Now the memory modification is stored in the selected QList. Thank you Reind at BEO. Using STORE STORE to modify any parameter in a group or memory assigned to A cleared Effect assignments to pan and tilt. Further, freeing this memory and trying to erase it resulted in the message Memory on Board, so there was no way to erase it, This does not happen anymore. A channel that was released from the memory was captured on the wheel with the next spot or channel selection. This does not happen anymore. The sequence [MEMORY] [A or B or C or D] [CHANNEL] did not work. Now it does. Modifying a memory using STORE STORE in a chaser assigned to a controller caused memory corruption and eventually generated a trap message. This does not happen anymore.
Modifying a memory by adding an Effect – [MEMORY #] [SPOT #] [EFFECT] [NSK] [STORE] – generated the Invalid Sequence message. Now this sequence works. 28.9 Erasing a memory in the editor after exiting the Memory Operations menu, which was left open at Copy Q-List, caused repeated Illegal Number messages accompanied by the beeper. This does not happen anymore. 28.10 Releasing a channel from a range of memories shifted Effect attributes from 1 memory to the next under the condition that the next memory had no Effects. This does not happen anymore. 28.11 Modifying the memory on A – [MEMORY] [A] [modify] [STORE] – when the default Q-List was different than the Q-List on A did not reassign the memory to A. This does not happen anymore.

29. Mix Editing 29.1 When the dimmer parameter of first type of spot in a range selection was a mixed step (like Superscan Zoom) and the next type of spot had a continuous dimmer parameter the mixed step did not stop at 1.f when wheeling up the dimmer. Now this works correctly. 29.2 Repeatedly selecting and reselecting spots and using the dimmer wheel to assign FL changed dimmer values that were already at Full. This does not happen anymore. 29.3 When the dimmer parameter of first type of spot in a range selection was a mixed step (like Superscan Zoom) and the next type of spot had a continuous dimmer parameter the mixed step jumped to 2.F after pressing [CL1] and [CL2]. This does not happen anymore. 30. Mix Output menu 30.1 There was no error message given when the time and offset for the ignition channel were both sets to 99. Now an error message is displayed. 30.2 When using an automatic set up function to assign DMX Out addresses to more 24 or more spots the console skipped DMX numbers and did not assign them efficiently. This is now fixed. Thank you Gino at Spotlight, Italy. 926/ 30.3 Attempting to give a value more than 360 as Leader information under Define Device resulted in the message Illegal Number. This does not happen anymore.

31. Numeric Soft Keys 31.1 Changing the NSK mode in the middle of a key sequence for Free erased the item from the original mode. Example: [FREE] [POSITION] [NSK] [COLOR] [NSK] [NSK], erased the Position library instead of the Color library. This does not happen anymore. 31.2
The sequence [FREE] [SNAP] [NSK10] [NSK10] erased Snaps 1 – 10. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Colleen at Morpheus, USA.
32. Output 32.1 Retrieving a Device from the Device Pool flashed the channels’ output. This does not happen anymore. 33. Palette– attention Beta testers 33.1 Values assigned from a Palette when the selected spots had Library assignments were incorrect. This does not happen anymore. 33.2 33.3 33.4 33.5 33.6 33.7 33.8
33.9
Pressing [CHANNEL] after the sequence [CHANNEL #] [PALETTE] [NSK] did not clear the command line. This is now fixed. Palettes were not displayed correctly when a spot type was freed from the Palette. Now the display is correct. When progressing through the Palette exam by pressing [+] or [-] the screen refresh was very sluggish. Now the function works quicker. If you accidentally touched a wheel, trackball, or the joystick when a Palette exam was on the monitor, the display was bumped off. This does not happen anymore. Placing the window cursor where you wanted to display the Palette exam and then requesting a Palette exam corrupted the display. This does not happen anymore. Pressing [RESET] or [CLEAR] after the copy Palette function ([PALETTE] [NSK] [ASSIGN]) stored a phantom Palette. This does not happen anymore. Modifying a Palette that contained a spot and channels by erasing the spot deleted all of the Palettes with numbers higher than the modified Palette and corrupted the channels in the modified Palette. This does not happen anymore. There was no way to erase a range of Palettes. Now the sequence [PALETTE # [ERASE] erases the selected range of Palettes.
#] [ERASE]
33.10 The sequence [PALETTE #] [SPOT or SPOT #] [ASSIGN] [PALETTE] [NSK] did not work. Now it does. 33.11 When a channel, spot, or spot parameter was released from a Palette, there was no Palette # stored message. Now the message is displayed. 33.12 The correct sequence to remove a spot from a Palette is [SPOT #] [FREE] [PALETTE] [NSK]. 33.13 There was no warning beep when updating Palettes. Now there is.
#] [PALETTE] [NSK] if a Palette had text. 33.14 Palette values did not enter the editor – [SPOT # Now this works correctly. 33.15 Scroller frames were not recorded n Palettes. This is now fixed. 33.16 When channels were not at their default patch, Palettes with scroller frames were called into the editor in their entirety ignoring the editor selection. Example: The Palette is channels 1 – 5 @ frame 3. The sequence [CHANNEL 1] [CHANNEL 4] [PALETTE 1] entered the frame for channels 1 5. This does not happen anymore. 33.17 A number of problems concerning Big spots in Palettes are now fixed.
33.18 The sequence [SPOT #] [PALETTE] [+] [+]… bumped the spot number up one when the next Palette did not contain the selected spot type. This does not happen anymore.

34. Part Qs 34.1 The sequence [MEMORY #] [PART #] [ERASE] did not work. Now it does. 34.2
[+1STORE] did not work after assigning Part and Part times. Now it does.
34.3
Scenario: When A/B had no assignments and [SEQ] was off, assign a Part Q to B (the inactive fader). Press Go. Part Q faded correctly. Move faders to bottom end stop (there is no assignment there) and press Go again. The Parts did not work. This is now fixed. All spot parameters were assigned to the Part instead of just the selected parameters when channels were assigned to the same Part. This does not happen anymore.
34.4
35. Print 35.1 Print Screen did not work in the Mix Output menu. Now it does. 36. Q-List 36.1 When a Q-List with a finite loop was assigned to a controller, fading from the last memory in the QList to the first memory did not work. This is now fixed. 36.2 Modifications of loops embedded in QList and assigned to controllers did not update. It was necessary to free the controller and reassign the QList. This is now fixed. 36.3 When the loop assignment to a Q-List was erased, exiting internal loops by crossfading to the next memory in the Q-List did not work correctly. This is now fixed. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada. 36.4 Spots or channels that were present in the editor (displayed in white) were not included in new memories that were added to QLists using the following sequence: [ASSIGN] [QLIST] [NSK]. Now all of spots and channels in the editor are included in the new memory. 37. Record 37.1
When a period (•) was used when entering a new directory name the directory was corrupted. It is illegal to use a period in a directory name and now an error message is generated.
38. REM DIM 38.1 Pressing [CLEAR] after using the REM DIM function changed assigned parameter values. This does not happen anymore. 39. Remote Control 39.1 The [IN LIB] key is now [ASSIGN]. At the moment the only sequence that works using this key is: [SPOT] [# #] [TB] [ASSIGN] [POS] [STORE]. Thank you Fred Lindauer Compulite USA and Colleen at Morpheus.
40. Scrollers 40.1 The sequence [GROUP #] [FRAME] [wheel] did not work. Now it does. 40.2 40.3
The sequence [CHANNEL][•] [FRAME] did not allow assigning a frame value with the wheel or the numeric keypad. This is now fixed. Using the Set Up Frame function turned off the dimmers for the scroller channels that were live. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria.
41. Service Tools 41.1 Pressing any key after being instructed to do so (following an error message) booted the system when it was illegal to do so. This does not happen anymore. 41.2 There was no indication of progress when loading the config files. Now there is. 41.3 Service Tools did not reset to the top of the Disk Operations menu after Load Config, Record Config, and Load Flash. Now it does.

After burning new image file, pressing any key as per instructions caused a GPE. This does not happen anymore. After burning new imf and tim files, the old tim file name was still displayed. This does not happen anymore. Configuration files recorded on older software versions lost part of their text when loaded. This is now fixed. There were some problems printing the Service Tools with certain brands of printers. This is now solved in conjunction with OSiD05B5 software. In Diagnostic Panel Test the LEDs for the NSK mode keys, macros 100 –108 and Step for controllers 17 24 could not be tested. This is now fixed. Using a 720kb diskette for Software Upgrade now displays an error message and directs the operator to use a 1.44 diskette. There was no instruction to insert a new diskette to record the *.tim file when saving the old software during Software upgrade. Now there is. When DMX Input source was connected, exiting to Service Tools via the option in the System Parameters menu erased the Keyboard software. This does not happen anymore. There was no Change Drive option when loading or recording the configuration. Now there is. The system did not identify 720k diskettes. Now it does. The C and D faders were reversed in the Keyboard Test. This is now fixed. Bit C B/D Faders Enabled was not saved in the configuration file. Now it is. In the Diagnostic section for CRT and Panels, the C/D crossfaders and rate wheels were reversed. This is now fixed. Paging to see the next page of files under Record Config entered the Filer and it was impossible to record a configuration file. This is now fixed. The file list was not refreshed after recording a configuration file. Now it is. When changing directories under Filer, the message Wait While Reading Disk disappeared before the console had finished reading the disk. Now the message is displayed until the directory has been read. The directory display in Filer was incorrect when returning to a previous directory. This is now fixed. When formatting diskettes there was no way to page the diskette contents that were displayed. This is now fixed. Pressing F6 F6 under Load Config resulted in the message No Config Files on Disk. This does not happen anymore. Many problems in Filer have been fixed. See New Features item 3. When F1 and F2 were accidentally pressed at the same time the console jammed. This does not happen anymore.
41.25 Pressing [RESET] while in one of the subroutines in Disk Operations menu returned you to the Main Service Tools menu instead of the top of Disk Operations. This is now fixed. 41.26 When burning the new Service Tools the monitors were swapped. This is now fixed. 41.27 After burning new software no KB version was displayed. This is now fixed. 41.28 After burning new software Diagnostics display was slow in reacting. This is now fixed. 41.29 After Memory Warm Test the system reacted very slowly. This is now fixed.

42. SMPTE– attention Beta testers 42.1 Triggering Events (that contained Go commands to A/B, C/D, or controllers) via SMPTE sometimes changed chaser assignments from Hard to Soft and displayed inappropriate messages. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Ernst at Technik Design, Austria. 42.2 After Warm Start the internal SMPTE stopped operating Events and memories. This is now fixed. 43. Spot definitions 43.1 The new text file contains corrected definitions for Goldenscan HPE and Stagescan. 44. Spot parameters 44.1 The special parameter mode “i” for the Rotating Gobo parameter has been removed from Cyberlight, as it is not supported by the fixture. 44.2 Wheeling up the values for mixed step parameters or special mode parameters (for Cyberlight and Intellabeam) suffered occasionally from interference. This does not happen anymore. 44.3 Sometimes discrete step ignition definitions interfered with spot output when the ignition sequence was fired. This is now fixed. Thank you Patrick at Crystal, France. 44.4 44.5
[STEP UP] and [STEP DN] did not advance continuous values by bits. Now they do. Flip did not work correctly with yokes that have more than 360 degrees of pan movement. Now Flip works correctly with these devices.
44.6
When Mix Editing was set to Yes using [CL1] or [CL2] to home Intellabeam parameters bumped p2 and p6 to 50. This does not happen anymore. In certain instances it was impossible to assign more than the first step value to parameters for Martin PAL. This is now fixed.
44.7
45. Spot Patch menu 45.1 Entering the Spot Patch menu disabled controllers. If a chaser was running or you moved a controller while in Spot Patch menu, the change was output only upon exiting the menu. This does not happen anymore. 46. Submasters 1 & 2 46.1 Submasters 1 & 2 did not operate correctly when used in conjunction with +1STORE. This is now fixed. 46.2 Controllers assigned as inhibit submasters and Submasters 1 & 2 did not operate correctly when used in conjunction with +1STORE. This is now fixed. 46.3 When a memory was assigned to a Submaster, the Submaster did not control all of the spots in the memory. This does not happen anymore. 47. Submaster Wing 47.1 Pressing any key on the Submaster Wing cleared the editor. This does not happen anymore. 47.2 Sometimes channel assignments to the Submaster Wing blocked the console output of some spots. This does not happen anymore. 47.3 When the Submaster Wing was disconnected its assignments were bumped to 0. Now the Submaster Wing’s active assignments are captured in the editor. Important! This bug is fixed with EPROM software k311a06. 47.4 The blinking ‘S’ did not appear on the command line when the Submaster Wing was disconnected. Now it does. IMPORTANT: When the Submaster Wing is physically disconnected a warning red S blinks in the command line and the Wing’s active output is captured in the editor. All Wing assignments are retained, so if you reconnect the Submaster Wing is set up as before. If you select Ignore or

Disable in the Status window the Submaster Wing’s assignments are freed. When the Submaster Wing has been physically disconnected, but the Status has not been changed attempting to erase a memory that is still assigned to the Submaster Wing results in the message memory on Board. NOTE: The output from the Submaster Wing is now displayed in yellow! 47.5
47.6 47.7 47.8
When the active channels on crossfader A were also assigned to a fader on the Submaster Wing they jumped to the editor when the Submaster Wing was disconnected and the intensity from A was higher than the output from the Submaster Wing. Now only channels active on the Submaster Wing are called to the editor when The Submaster Wing is disconnected. Assigning an Effect to spots whose numbers were identical to scroller assignments on the Submaster Wing, entered the scroller channels to the editor. This does not happen anymore. The blinking red S warning of a System Status problem was not displayed when the Submaster Wing was disconnected. Now it is. Attempting to assign spots to the Submaster Wing (this is illegal) when working in the Effects editor changed the Effect Base. This does not happen anymore.
48. System Parameters menu 48.1 Sometimes, after the date was changed, it was not stored. This does not happen anymore. 49. Text 49.1 On the alphanumeric keyboard, Pressing Tab until the cursor reached the end of the line bumped you out of Text mode. This does not happen anymore. Thank you Jeff Clark at Luxor, Las Vegas. 49.2 Text that was modified was incomplete. This is now fixed. 49.3 The Enter key on the alphanumeric keyboard did not store text. This is now fixed. 49.4 49.5 49.6
Pressing ↓ or ↵ when typing on the text page bumped the cursor to the middle of the window. This does not happen anymore. and did not navigate on the text page. This is now fixed. Text typed immediately after storing text to a memory was not displayed. This is now fixed.
50. Touch Screen 50.1 Calibration was not working. Now it is. Thank you Stephen Plotkin, Canada. 51. Trackball E 51.1 Trackball E was not working. Now it is. 52. Wheels 52.1 The 2 vertical wheels always stayed at their last setting. Now after [RESET] is pressed the 2 vertical wheels default to Dim and Iris. 52.2 The wheel sensitivity has been adjusted. 52.3 The wheel LCD display did not update when Mix Editing was toggled to Yes, 1 type of spot was selected and assigned parameter values, and then another type of spot was selected. This is now fixed.

The ↵ key on the alphanumeric keyboard does not store text in the record menu. Mix Device Only does not load from shows recorded on Animator. The message Corrupted Play is generated. Work around: Load the whole show. When the Effects editor is open it is impossible to select an effect on the NSKs. Editing memories with Effects in the Blind mode erases the Effects from the memory. [STORE] [STORE] does not work for Q-Keys. The sequence [MEMORY] [A] [TIME #] [STORE] returns the memory to A, but [SEQ] is disabled. If you use this sequence you must press [SEQ] to enable. In the Effects Editor the sequences [MEMORY #] [STORE] and [Q-LIST #] [MEMORY #] [STORE] do not work.
