Preset Programming and Playback
SolaSpot Pro 1500 fixtures can be programmed through the on board menu system using Preset Programming.
This section describes how to program your fixtures for stand-alone operation using the on-board memory in each
fixture to create and store scenes.
Preset Programming Overview
Presets are built from combining scenes into programs and then assigning the programs to Program Partitions for
playback by a fixture designated as the Master and, if desired, groups of slave fixtures assigned to a Program Par-
tition. SolaSpot Pro CMY fixtures ship with factory programmed scenes and programs ready for you to use or edit.
