Summary

The checklist begins with the first step at the top of this page and continues from left-to-right. The steps are also listed in the left menu.

Power Up

Best case scenario - order of operations.

  • iMac On
  • QU-32 On
  • Ableton Live Up
  • Ableton Live NV Default Setup set loaded1
  • House Lights / Stage Lights Up2
  • Projectors On (Use Web Interface)
  • Pro-Presenter Up
  • Calibration Slide Up
  • Projectors Calibrated
  • Background Up w/NV logo prop

Footnotes:

  1. When Ableton Live loads, a new untitled set is created automatically using the default template (set in preferences.) This is not the set we use when we go live. From Ableton’s file browser, double-click NV Default Setup. This loads not only the correct configuration, but all of the previous references to Sermons, etc. ↩

  2. DMXIS will only operate from a single instance and needs to be loaded by Ableton Live. If the Media computer is already on when you arrive, make sure that DMXIS is NOT already running. If it is, shut it down before loading Ableton Live. Ableton Live loads the DMXIS software as a plug-in which gives us smooth dimming control over the lights and connects the lighting system to manual faders (currently mapped to the QU-32 Custom Layer) ↩
