Executor Elements
Executors are used to playback and control elements of a show file in an accessible way. For example, they can be used to control a sequence.
For more information about executors, see the Executors topic.
Objects can be assigned to executors via the user interface of the grandMA3 software. The following menu/window gives access to the executor:
- To open the Playbacks window, in the Add Window pop-up tap Common and Playbacks.
- To open the Playbacks menu, press F5 on the keyboard or tap
in the control bar.
Depending on the hardware:
- The number of physical executors depends on the console type.
- The executors are handles to control objects in the show file. The executors are located on the left part of the console.
