TEXT CONVENTIONS

Panel Keys are under square brackets, e.g. [RECORD] is a panel key.

Keyboard Keys are under brackets, (CTRL).

Software functions in menus are under brackets e.g. {Browse File} is a function in the File

Menu. In this case the access path will be indicated as MENU HATHOR>FILE> (Browse

File).

[-----]&[-----] means hold the first key then push the second key.

SOFTWARE PHILOSOPHY

It can be easier to understand HATHOR if you are familiar with the philosophy of this software.

Channels (INSTRUMENTS)

A Channel (also named instrument) is the control handle used to call anything controlled by

LIBERTY. Regardless if it is a dimmer channel, a moving device, a smoke machine or

something else it will always correspond to a channel number in the Patch.

Attributes and DEVICE LINKS

The control of non-intensity parameters, for example a moving device or a scroller, are

called attributes. These are patched to the controls of LIBERTY when the Template

corresponding to that device is assigned to a control channel in the Patch.

In a sequence all attribute’s values are recorded in a specific area named DEVICE LINK.

Patch (INSTRUMENT SET-UP)

Patch is where outputs are assigned to channels, either directly in the case of dimmers or

using a Template in the case of devices. All settings pertaining to outputs, channels and

devices are also adjusted within the patch.

Groups

Frequently used combinations of channels can be stored in up to 2000 Groups, for quick

recall from the keypad, the touch screen or a remote focusing system.

Presets

This is a specific concept. Frequently used combinations of channels are stored in up to

15000 Presets, for playback in the Main Playback or Virtual Playbacks. The combination of

a Preset and a Device Link in a Sequence Step is the equivalent of a "Cue" in many other

systems. The advantage here is that Presets can be reused in any Sequence, with

different times.

Sequences

Lists of Presets are called Sequences, that can be cross faded or move faded in

consecutive order from a Playback. The system supports up to 1000 Sequences.

Looks

A look is a cue including channels with their intensity levels and their attributes, like a

snapshot, without any time information.

Looks are primarily useful for "live" performances, when you wish to be able to bring up

pre-recorded fixture settings, but in a non-sequential, spontaneous manner, such as for a

musical concert.

Looks can also be useful as building blocks where you can store an idea for future use, but

don't want to record it as a Sequence Step/ Preset (Looks are not usable in Sequence).

1. Installation and Overview

Delivery and Unpacking

As soon as you receive your equipment, open the boxes and inspect the items received. If

you discover any damage, contact the carrier immediately and make any necessary claim

for the problems discovered.

Installing the Desk

The desk and the monitor should be installed on a table or a console.

The surface of your work area should be smooth, level and sturdy.

Make sure that there is enough clearance around the desk to:

•open the desk

•access the rear connections

•allow air circulation around vents to prevent the desk from over-heating

Power Supply

The LIBERTY has a universal power supply that will operate on voltages between 100

volts and 260 volts with a frequency range from 50 to 60 Hz.

Before powering up the desk or any of its peripherals, check that the existing voltages are

within the limits defined.

THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.

Note: all connections should be made with the power turned off; otherwise functioning

may be affected and can even damage the equipment under certain conditions.

Electrical Connection

TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN THE DESK.

THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS WITHIN. REFER SERVICING TO

QUALIFIED ENGINEERS ONLY. LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE!

ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE OPENING FOR

INSPECTION.

Note: As all equipment used in computer systems, your system is sensitive to the

characteristics of the network and in particular to variations and voltage peaks.

Consequently, we advise you to use an appropriate line conditioner on this

equipment.

Caring for your LIBERTY

The LIBERTY is manufactured from quality components and will give many years of

service if you take some basic precautions.

•Do not allow any liquids or foreign objects to enter the LIBERTY.

•Do not apply excessive force to any of the controls. Spare parts and service are

available from your ADB distributor, but prevention is better than cure.

•When connecting any devices to the LIBERTY, make sure that all connections are

correct before switching on the power.

1.1 Software

ADB lighting technologies has a policy of continuous improvement of its products. As the

LIBERTY is a computerized lighting desk, its software is subject to this policy as new

features are added and existing features improved.

The current software version of your LIBERTY is displayed in the HATHOR menu (Upside

Left corner) > About.

The latest version can be downloaded from the ADB website.

Whilst every care is taken in the preparation of this manual, ADB Lighting Technologies

takes no responsibility for any errors or omissions.
