Chapter 1 Introduction

This chapter discusses getting started with Compulite Vibe.

The following is covered in this chapter:

1.1 Start Up

Power requirements:

  • Vibe uses a power supply that supports 90-264V at 47-63 Hz.
  • Approximately power consumption is 3.2A at 230V.
  • Input uses a Neutrik powerCON connector, or IEC C13 connector on the Vibey, ended with the appropriate male connector for the destination country.

Desk Light:

  • Insert the goose neck desk light into the 3 pin XLR on the rear of the console.
  • Desk light intensity is controlled in the {System Settings} {Hardware} tab.

Monitor intensity:

  • Monitor intensity is controlled in the {System Settings} {Hardware} tab.

Power up the console:

  • Insert the supplied powerCON male connector into the female connector located on the rear of the console. Align the guide slots and turn clockwise untill the connector locks.
  • Turn on the power supply switch above the powerCON connector.
  • Press the Power button located at the upper corner of the monitor panel.
  • The operating system will boot and the Vibe console software will automatically launch.

Power down the console:

  • Tap the {Vibe} menu key beside the command line on the main display - The Vibe Menu will open.
  • Tap {Exit} - The {Exit Vibe} popup will appear.
  • Tap {Yes} or {No} to save or not the current show file.
  • The Vibe application will shutdown.
  • Press the Power button - The console will safely power off.

1.3 Important Terms

  • DMX 512 Output/Input Port - One of the 8 physical 5 pin XLR connectors on the back of the console. Although the gender is female, any connector may be configured as an input but must use a turnaround adapter.

  • DMX 512 Universe - Virtual DMX outputs 0 ⟶ 256 that may be routed to the 8 physical outputs and/or any of the three supported DMX over Ethernet protocols.

    • Compulite VC
    • ArtNet
    • sACN

  • HTP (Highest-Takes-Precedence) - When the same parameters are on two or more controllers, the highest value will output to the stage. Mainly used for dimmer values.

  • LTP (Latest-Takes-Precedence) - When the same parameters are on two or more controllers, the last asserted parameter will output it’s values to the stage, no matter what the value is.

  • Show - The file saved by the software containing all the programmed data.

  • Layout - The file saved by the software containing all the visualization data.

  • Window - An element of the layout that contains up to 12 Pages. When using multiple screens, each one can have its own window.

  • Page - An element of the window that contains the Views. Vibe has three page types called Patch, Prog, Play.

  • View - A single element that can be added to a Page, such as universe view, live view, timeline view, topo view, qlist tracksheet, and many others.

  • HardKey - Any physical button on the console or its virtual equivalent on the screen.

  • SoftKey - Any virtual button on the screen that corresponds to a stored element such as libraries, groups, qlists, scenes, macros, and snaps.

  • Set = Fixture numbering system

    • 0 = Fixtures, (Default, includes all sets)
    • 1 = Channels (Conventional fixtures)
    • 2 = Spots (Automated heads and mirrors)
    • 3 = Matrix (LED pixel-based fixtures)
    • 4 = Servers (Video servers)
    • 5 ⟶ 1000 = User defined sets

  • Fixture - An independent object controlled by the console thorough DMX or network protocol, such as a conventional or LED luminaire, a moving head, or a media server.

  • Parameter - An individual feature of a fixture such as dimmer, pan, tilt, color wheel, gobo wheel.

  • Bank - A group of features of a fixture such as intensity, position, color, beam, image and shape.

  • Encoder - A physical or virtual wheel used to control the values of the fixtures’ parameters.

  • Editor - The part of the system that is used to program the fixtures and store the objects.

  • Playback - The part of the system that is used to play the fixtures by triggering the stored objects.

  • Smart Screen - A view on the Vibe software that controls the Editor and every parameter of the selected fixtures. In 2-screen consoles the Smart Screen is always shown on the small screen on the right side.

  • Controller - Any physical or virtual control element that executes or plays back system objects such as cues, scenes, macros, and snapshots.

  • Black Out - A physical or virtual button that inhibits the dimmer values of every fixture bringing them at 0%, often referred to as a B.O..

  • Grand Master - A physical or virtual control element that inhibits the dimmer values of every fixture, proportionate to their assigned value.

  • Submaster - A special type of Scene where stored fixtures inhibit their dimmer values, proportionate to their assigned value.

  • Master Controller - Main playback section of the console with large [GO], [BACK], [HOLD] keys. There can be only one Master Controller, but it can be assigned to any controller.

  • Playback Master - A controller that is mastering other controllers.

  • Slider - A slider potentiometer Controller, often referred to as a Fader.

  • Qkey - A single button or a knob potentiometer Controller.

  • Auxkey - A single button potentiometer Controller.

  • Global - A slider potentiometer Controller.

  • CrossFader - A pair of slider potentiometer Controllers used to manually control the fade in and fade out of consecutive Cues.

  • TrackBall - Ay physical control element with a spheric shape used to focus moving fixtures through the Position parameters of Pan and Tilt.

  • Qlist - A Folder containing cues. Each Qlist has its own unique numbering system from 0.001 to 999.999.

  • Chaser - A Qlist that is set to run automatically into a loop.

  • Cue - A record contained within a Qlist. Cues contain stored parameter values and properties such as text label and time values.

  • Cue Zero - The starting point at the top of a Qlist. Release may or may not return to the top of a Qlist depending on Qlist Properties. Cue Zero will always return to the top of the Qlist. The command Cue 0 GOTO is valid.

  • Scene - A record that has the same properties of a Cue but exists independently from a Qlist.

  • Library - Container of frequently used fixture parameter values (Bank Library) or system objects (Object Library) . Bank Libraries may be created as referenced or unreferenced. The default for most libraries is referenced.

  • Options - Used to modify object properties “on the fly”.

  • Settings - Used to modify object properties and behaviors after an object has been created.

👉 For the sake of this guide, Channel, Spot, Matrix, and Server Sets will be referred to as Fixture because the Fixture Set can reference all the other sets.

👉 Some keys have two functions when used with the [VIBE] key (shift key). In this case, the key label on the bottom is the default, and the top label is the shifted function.
