Show Mode

Show Mode is an operating state in HOLOPLOT Control designed for use during active shows and performances. When enabled, it restricts access to actions that could affect audio output or system configuration, while keeping monitoring and real-time control functions readily accessible.

Configuring Show Mode

Before enabling Show Mode, administrators can define how specific actions behave while it is active. Do this in Settings › Show Mode. Each action can be set to one of three states:

• Allowed – the action is available without restriction.

• Allowed with confirmation – the action is available but requires the user to confirm before it is applied.

• Not allowed – the action is not available while Show Mode is on.

The following actions can be configured:

• System Gain

• System Mute / Unmute

• Master EQ

• Solo / Unsolo Beams

• Mute / Unmute Beams

• Environmental conditions

• Preset switching

• Processor failover

• Sleep / wake up modules
