SolaPix 19 XT User Manual
Modular Control
Note:
Some consoles may refer to the Flex effects by the feature name "Macro". For
the purposes of the SolaPix 19 XT software and user manual, "Flex" and "Macro" are
interchangeable.
The SolaPix 19 XT fixture has three segments of control (or modules) that essentially give you
three fixtures in one, letting you customize each fixture based on your control needs.
•
The Base module is the primary control. The settings in this module control the basic
functions of the fixture, which include pan, tilt, zoom, and the control settings for the
fixture.
•
The Flex module lets you build and customize animation effects based on a library of
animations.
•
The Pixel module gives you individual control of each pixel.
The Base module is always active. The Flex and Pixel modules can be disabled, or they can be
set to Compound or Independent modes.
In Compound mode, a module automatically addresses itself to the same source as the Base
module and follows immediately after the address of the Base module.
In Independent mode, you address a module individually to any source (DMX or Ethernet),
Address, or Universe that your control setup requires.
Compounding the modules enables several different options:
•
Base + Flex (default)
•
Base + Pixel
•
Base + Flex + Pixel
See
Configure the Fixture on page 16
for information about configuring the modules.
Because the modules all control the same light sources, you can set the priority of control
using the Module Priority function (channel 12 in the Base module).
