what is the difference between static mode and transparent mode?

Transparent or
Static
The sequence editor can be set to record the scenes in two modes, Transparent or Static.
In transparent mode, the sequence editor only records the channels that are changed or set to “Fade” / “Snap” in fader panels (not those set to “Off”). This makes it possible for other sequences to change the other channels not included when this sequence is running.
In static mode, all channels are recorded by the Sequence editor. This makes it possible to set the whole light to a wanted state and then record all channels.
As an example on these two modes imagine a setup where a lot of sequences are controlling various fixtures via sub masters. Some sequences control movement, some colors and other gobos.
In certain situations, the lights are to be in a well-defined setup. This could be lights on the audience and the scene in an introduction. This is set once and recorded as one static scene.
Attach the sequence to an override button and it is now possible to have all the light in various settings and then by pressing this one override button, all of the programmed lights will be set for the introduction scene.
