Hi, jut searched in forum but iw was not finding a solution.

What do i want to achive: I want to have a frame with "show enable button" but it shoud be disabled by default because i want to place an shutdown button in this frame.
Only after enabling the frame, one should be able to press the shutdown button.

Anyone has an idea?

bst rgds,
Richy

A bit messy but:
  • Create a non-solo frame with more than 1 page
  • Create your shutdown button on page 2
  • Create a loopback universe and set the page 2 enable to the first channel in that U
  • Create a button on the desk that activates the loopback U channel which will call page 2 enable ( you could also do this from a scene )
  • When you are in RunMode .. and you select the button .. the page should come forward and be activated.
  • Could then press shutdown.
I do something like this for sub-cue Lists .. so when I am Cue'ing a show via a chase .. I can pop up the window with the subchases. Cheap way to allow different timings on a single cue. It's one thing I DO wish QLC had native was sub-cue's in a chase that were tied to a master like QLab has .. lots more options for light timing.
