MULTI FIXTURE
Show Designer 1 can support lighting fixtures that use as many as 32 DMX channels.
Since most fixtures use fewer than 32 channels, Show Designer 1 lets you configure
a group of smaller fixtures that are of the same type, under a single fixture number.
For example if you have selected a 4-channel LED for fixture number 1, you can set
“Multi” to 8. When fixture 1 is selected you will be able to use all 32 of the channels
available for fixture 1 to control 8 of these 4 channel LEDs.
NOTE:
This feature is for controlling large numbers of small fixtures so that a fixture
number is not wasted on just one small fixture.
You will be able to control the individual channels of each fixture separately using
the 4 banks of 8 faders. When using the joystick, all of the multi fixtures within that
fixture number will respond if they have a pan and tilt feature. To control individual
pan and tilt levels separately you will have to use the faders.
To use the multi fixture mode, move the cursor to the fixture number and use the +
and - switches or data wheel to select a fixture number. Move the cursor to the
multi number (to the right of “X”) to increment or decrement this value. You can
only choose numbers between 1 and the maximum number of fixtures that will fit
into 32 channels. If it is a 4 channel fixture the multi value can be no higher than 8.
You must press, “ENTER” to record the change. If auto patch is enabled you will
be given the warning that some addresses may change. Press “YES” to continue or
“NO” to quit without saving.
