Optional Pointing Device (Mouse/Trackball)
If you have a serial mouse, trackball or other pointing device, you can connect it to your
Expression/Insight facepanel and use it to control moving light fixtures. This pointing device
is not used within Emphasis Visualization, only for direct control of moving light attributes,
(typically pan and tilt). The optional pointing device connects to the “mouse” connector on
the rear panel, and is linked to encoders TX and TY in the Encoder Setup display (see
Encoder Setup, page 59 ).
Moving Light Module (MLM) for Expression/Insight 2x Facepanels
Expression/Insight 2x facepanels do not have encoders built in. You may have a Moving
Light Module (MLM) for use with your facepanel. If so, the MLM operates the same as the
encoders do. You can attach a serial mouse or trackball directly to the MLM to control pan
and tilt on moving light fixtures.
Install a Moving Light Module (MLM) on an Expression/Insight 2x facepanel:
Step 1: Turn off facepanel power.
Step 2: Connect the MLM to the facepanel port labeled Digitizer/Serial. See foldout
B: Emphasis Facepanel Rear Panel Connections, page 268 .
N o t e :
The Designer’s Worksheet digitizer is not compatible with the Emphasis Control System.
Step 3: Connect an optional pointing device to the MLM, if desired.
Step 4: Plug the power cord of the MLM into a wall outlet or power strip.
Step 5: Turn on facepanel power.
