Edit Scenes
The SolaFrame 3000 fixture provides 250 pre-programmed Scenes that you can use or edit to
build an Auto Program. Each Scene is a snapshot of a set of fixture parameters (for example,
color, beam quality and pattern, intensity, focus, etc.) that you can assign to a step in an Auto
Program. Select the Scene (Scene 001, Scene 002, etc.) that you want to edit, and then set the
parameters for the Scene or capture the parameters for the Scene from the current DMX input.
In addition to standard SolaFrame 3000 features (pan, tilt, etc.), Scene parameters include the
following options.

Scenes Input
You can capture DMX data and record those parameters as a series of Scenes. Select the start
and end Scene numbers for the range of Scenes that you want to record. The fixture records the
incoming DMX data into the selected Scenes, with each change in DMX data triggering the next
Scene in the range. When all Scenes in the range have been recorded, the display returns to the
main menu.
Note:
While capturing the DMX data, the SolaFrame 3000 fixture does not play back
the DMX input; it only captures the data. You must edit or play back the Scene after
recording is complete to verify the results. We suggest that you prepare the Scenes on a
DMX controller with a zero crossfade for all parameters between steps. Remember that
any change of a DMX value will automatically advance to the next Scene during
capture.
