Working with moving lights
Moving lights displays
Moving lights and conventional lights use the same Blind, Stage and Fader
displays. Each moving light, however, is distinguished in these displays by
a gray bar surrounding the numbers of all channels in the fixture. Also,
channels that carry the low order bits of 16-bit attributes have dimmed
channel numbers.
Levels are set for the channels of moving light fixtures in a Fixture Box
window that pops up in Blind, Stage and Fader displays when a fixture is
selected. 8 The list under the screen shot below identifies the contents of
the Fixture Box window.
Go to the Fixture Box window
1. Press the [Stage], [Blind] or [Fader] key.
2. Press [S8], Fixture.
3. Enter a fixture number(s). The fixture box appears.
Following are features of the Fixture Box.
• The fixture is identified by number, label (if assigned) and personality.
• Page numbers are shown in white if any of the fixture’s attributes are
on that page. The current encoder page is identified in yellow.
• The fixture’s attributes on the current page are identified in gold.
• The level assigned to each identified attribute is identified in the
“Value” line. For 8-bit data types, the level is given as a percentage.
For 16-bit data types, the level is given as a value in the range 0-65535.
• The level setting device assigned to each identified attribute is
identified, where E1-E5 are the five encoders, X and Y are the two
wheels, and TX and TY are the axes of the pointing device, if attached.
8.
When a range of fixtures is selected, the Fixture Box contains
information pertaining only to the last fixture in the range.
