SHOWPIX User Manual - High End Systems

CHAPTER 2
Setup and Configuration
Use the following steps to mount a SHOWPIX fixture on a standard truss:
1. Due to it’s size and weight, at least two people should support the fixture while another
attaches clamps and safety cables. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a
fixture to its support.
2. Fixtures shipping in a road case will have clamps mounted to the base. If you received the
fixture in a shipping box, you will need to mount the clamps that shipped with fixture to the
mounting brackets and then attach the two mounting brackets to the base of the fixture
using the provided quarter-turn screws.

3. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base
and to the support.
4. Run the safety cable through the loop on the
fixture’s base, and around the truss.
5. Disengage Pan and Tilt locks before powering
on the fixture.
Side Mounting and Angular Mount on Moving Truss
For fixtures in a side mount or at an acute Angular
orientation, set the Outrig Mode on the DMX
console.
When side mounting a SHOWPIX fixture, orient the
unit as show on the right with the Display panel up
or down perpendicular to the floor.
