ISIS® Software for PHOENIX XT and MENTOR

Introduction
The chapter *Using The Alphanumeric Keyboard* explains how the desk functions
and fader selections can be made in this way. The alphanumeric keyboard is also
used to input titles and other information when required. ISIS ® recognises commands
made from both the control platform and the alphanumeric keyboard simultaneously,
without the operator having to enable one or the other.
The chapter *Quick Start Guide* provides a very simplified guide to the most
common requirements and functions of the lighting desk: it can be used as a quick
reference chart or as a basic tutorial to the ISIS ® system.
1.1.2 Main features of the ISIS ® software
ISIS ® provides all the operating functions expected of a high performance lighting
control system, and in particular:
� Intuitive control of channels and memories in submasters, playbacks or Live;
� Powerful and flexible submasters with configurable functions for each submaster;

adjustments, and more;

FTP or LTP;

more;
