Wall Station Mode

Pressing the Power button once, then touching Lock will turn the touch screen into a screen saver, virtual button/slider station or into a dedicated Playlist playback. 

When in Wall Station mode, the Cognito's programming functions are disabled. To restore programming functions, touch Unlock  .  

Password

Touch the keyboard icon to enter a password that will be required to exit Wall Station mode.  By default, the password is blank.  If no password has been entered here, simply touching Unlock will return you to normal operation.  Passwords are NOT case-sensitive.

Selecting Wall Station mode also affects the response of Cognito's hardware.  In Button Station mode the Bump buttons below the sliders on the console will behave the same as the virtual icon ‘buttons’.  In Playlist mode, the left GO button will also trigger the next cue in the Playlist.

Playlist

Limits Cognito to cue playback only.  Once the parameters are set, touch the Lock icon to enter Playlist mode.  Release, GO and Pause buttons appear at the bottom of the screen. You can also use the left Go and Pause buttons to control the playlist, but the Playback Master slider is disabled Shift + Pause will release the Playlist.  To exit, touch Unlock and enter the password (if set).

Playlist

Use the red wheel to scroll through available Playlists.

Button Station (and Slider)

This option turns the Cognito into a virtual button/slider station.  The number of Memories shown, the Memory Page associated with those buttons and password protection may be set. Once the parameters are set, touch the Lock icon to enter station mode.

Memory Page

Use the red wheel to scroll through available  Memory pages. The very first entry is not a name of a Memory page, but says "Allow Paging". When selected, Wall Station Mode will have arrows in its title bar allowing you to select the active page. Memories that are active on the current page will remain active when you page to another Memory page.

Layout

Use the green wheel  select from 2, 4, 8, or 20 button virtual stations. In Slider mode, you can choose 4 or 8 Sliders with or without buttons for each. You can also choose to include a Memory Page master slider or not. The layouts recall recorded Memories from the selected Memory Page, starting from left of the Memory Page.  For example, 8-button mode associates the first eight Memory only. Banking to addition memories within a Memory Page is not permitted. 

Shift is still active in Wall Station mode.  Shift + Wall Station Mode button will change a toggle to a momentary, a momentary to a toggle, and release (clear) a radio group.

Logo

The Cognito logo will displayed when the Lock icon is touched.  A password may be set by touching the keyboard icon and entering a password. 

You can import a custom screen image. Put a BMP or PNG file on a USB thumb drive and select IMPORT CUSTOM LOGO. Suggested resolution is 800x410, but any image will scale to fit the screen. If a custom loga has been added, there will be a DELETE CUSTOM LOGO button.

When in Logo mode, the console hardware and touch screen are inactive.  However, Playlists operating from PLAY | Schedule will be run, and the playback may still be triggered from Serial RS232 contact closures, LUA or Telnet scripts, and Midi Show Control commands.

Rooms

Beside the Unlock icon at the bottom of the screen on each Wall Station Mode is the Rooms icon . Press this icon to reassign rooms to spaces.

While in the Rooms display of Wall Station Mode, touch a Room row header or Space column header to mute the associated Choreo NSB stations. Touch again to unmute the stations. To mute individual stations, highlight the station in Setup|Choreo NSB and touch Toggle Mute.
