Automated Lighting <strong>Tutorial</strong> Page 38 Note: This is an example from a Broadway show. Your actual Macros and macro content may vary. Just continue this format for all macros that need to be written. I usually decide before I start writing macros how I want to break down the submaster panels. I’ll usually do 1 thru 12 as colors, 13 thru 24 as gobos, with the shift version of 1 thru 12 as positions and the shift version of 13 thru 24 as gobo effects, beam and iris groups. Remember that writing the macros without a leading channel number will allow the macro to work with any combination of moving lights. Just put in the channel list prior to pressing the sub bump button. That will run that macro for all the selected channels. For software version 2.8.6 www.strandlighting.com 6 November, 2005
Automated Lighting <strong>Tutorial</strong> Page 39 Writing Cues I spend a lot of time building preset focus groups for several reasons. 1. Its faster programming than moving a light into position or mixing a color every time. 2. When I look at my moving light screens, seeing text based info is much more useful that numerical info. Below is a look at a cue in preview. It shows the first 10 channels of VL5s in the recorded positions for Cue 5. Notice that all fixtures are referencing a position group. This is evident by the text as well as the black box surrounding the data. Let’s talk about accessing those groups a little more. Accessing Preset Focus Groups We’ve learned the 3 ways to access the preset focus groups so you just need to choose the most intuitive way for you when building cues. Below is a sample screen shot after I have placed a few lights into position and colors using preset focus groups. For software version 2.8.6 www.strandlighting.com 6 November, 2005
