Places channel 1 and its attributes on the rotary controls.
The default ordering of the rotary controls is:
1.1 intensity wheel
1.2 colour rotary 1 (top)
1.3 pan track ball (sideways movement)
1.4 tilt track ball (up & down movement)
The rotaries are even more flexible in that they can be ‘ paged’ through all remaining attributes of the
selected fixture using the keys above the trackball.
Not all fixtures use all attributes, and only the attributes which the selected fixture supports are placed
under rotary control.
Note: A ‘fixture’ may comprise two completely separate devices, namely a luminaire and a scroller, at
two completely separate DMX addresses. They can still be controlled as one fixture.
A library of fixtures is held on the console’ s hard disk and is read at power up. It is used during patch
operations, which is where fixtures are assigned to control channels.
Trackball Keys
The three keys located above the trackball are used as follows to manipulate channel attributes in a
current selection:
Left: Select Last attribute page.
Middle: Hold down, while moving the trackball or rotaries, to put trackball or rotaries in Coarse
movement mode. Release to put back into default Fine movement mode. See also Mouse Control of
Features
Right: Select Next attribute page.
Middle + Left: Toggle Lock X trackball movement. When locked moving the trackball left/right will have
no effect.When X movement has been locked, the Pan attribute will be displayed in Grey. A 'Pan
Locked' warning is also displayed on the Status Window.
Middle + Right: Toggle Lock Y trackball movement. When locked moving the trackball up/down will
have no effect. When Y movement has been locked, the Tilt attribute will be displayed in Grey. A 'Tilt
Locked' warning is also displayed on the Status Window.
You can lock pan and tilt functions simultaneously.
Note: If the trackball doesn’ t appear to work in either the left/right or ,up/down direction, it is likely that
the movement is locked. Try toggling the lock state as described above.
