Background Section of Show Editor

[Scott Tuthill]

This year I am upgrading to a lighted sign announcing the radio frequency to "Listen to the Lights". It would seem like the way to turn this on and off is to use the Background Section in the Show Editor. There is very little documentation on this section in the Help File. My question is -- when the Show ends, will any lights turned on with the Background section automatically turn off?

Hi,

Yes the lights will go off at the end of the show. Things to watch out for with the Background section:

• Only put the channels that you want to control in the background section. That is for example if you only want to control two channels Unit 02.01 and Unit 03.10 then you should only have two channels defined in that sequence.
  
• Do not put channels that are in the background sequence in any of your other sequences.
  
• If you just want to turn the lights on steady in the background then make the sequence about 1 minute long and have the lights on continiously throughout the sequence.

Thanks Dan. I suspected it worked that way but was not sure.
