8.8 - ADDING FIXTURES TO A
PROJECT
There are two m ain workflows for adding fixtures to a project.
l
With fixtures connected to the processor. The project and fixture layout are created on a
processor with fixtures physically connected. In this case use Add Fixtures from Network
l
Without fixtures connected to the processor (or in offline m ode). Alternatively, if a fixture
is not connected, select Add Fixture from Library which accesses the fixture library
displaying all fixtures installed from Fixture Pack s that are currently installed on the
processor. Navigate or use the search function to find the fixture required and add it to
the canvas.
See Fixture Library on page 246 for m ore inform ation.
Users can use whichever workflow is m ost convenient for their project, including a com bination
of the two.
8.8.1 - ADD FIXTURES FROM NETWORK
On the toolbar above the canvas space, a circular indicator on the Add Fixtures from Network
button is greyed out if fixtures are not detected or not connected to the processor. This
feature is not accessible until fixtures are physically connected and detected by the processor.
Once detected, the indicator turns green.
After clicking Add Fixtures from Network, the toolbar displays detected fixtures and strings of
fixtures grouped by output ports. A string is a continuous daisy-chain of Tessera com patible
fixtures.
8.8.1.1 - ASSOCIATING FIXTURES
There are two ways to associate fixtures:
8.8.1.1.1 - QUICK ASSOCIATION
When fixtures are connected to the processor, each string is assigned a unique num eric code.
Entering the code on the processor (using num ber keys or num pad) selects the corresponding
string, the string then has the first fixture attached to the cursor for placem ent on the canvas.
