To change the assigned console channel, enter a valid console channel number and push the # key. If you
enter a 2 digit number 1 - 48 (or 99, for the house master) then your entry will be accepted as a conventional
lighting channel. If you enter a 4 digit number then the entry will be assigned as a moving light fixture and
channel. The left 2 digits are 1 - 8 for the fixture number and the right 2 digits are 1 - 12 for the channel
number within the fixture.
As an example: An assignment of dimmer channel 259 to channel 3 of moving light fixture 2 will appear on the
display as show here.
CREATING MOVING LIGHT SCENES
SETTING BASIC SCENE CONDITIONS
1.
To create a moving light scene you must first select the fixture: Push PROGRAM MOVING LIGHTS then
push the SUBMASTER momentary button corresponding to the fixture number (1 - 8). Fixture number 1 is
on the left. You can select more than one fixture at a time by selecting more than one SUBMASTER
momentary button.
2.
At this point you can control the moving light fixture from the SUBMASTER faders. Each of the faders
controls one of the fixture functions. For instance fader 1 may control pan and fader 2 control tilt. The
function of each fader depends on the particular fixture model so you will need to consult the manual for the
fixture to determine which channel controls which fixture function.
USE CAUTION WHEN MOVING FADERS. YOU COULD CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO MOVE IN UNEXPECTED
WAYS IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ITS OPERATION. THIS CAN BE A DANGER TO PERSONS NEAR
THE FIXTURE. IT MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE TO DAMAGE THE FIXTURE.
RECORDING THE SCENE
Once you have adjusted all the fixture functions the moving light scene is ready for recording. It can be stored in
one of the 12 scenes available in any of the moving light scene banks (1-50). To record the scene:
1.
The display shows the current moving light scene bank in the upper left section as BNKM-nn, where nn is the
bank number. Select the desired bank by pushing the SUBMASTER BANK button (which will cycle through
the banks) OR enter the bank number on the keypad and then push the SUBMASTER BANK button.
2.
Push the RECORD button. The RECORD light and 12 SUBMASTER momentary lights will flash.
3.
Push the SUBMASTER momentary button that corresponds to the scene number (1-12) where you want the
scene
stored.
At this point the scene is stored in the selected bank and scene number with the DEFAULT scene fade rate
applied. This fade rate may be later altered from the menu system.
APPLYING SCENE FADE CONTROLS
A moving light scene describes multiple functions for a fixture and some of them are associated with a fade rate.
You can control the overall scene fade rate. You can also control the time which certain functions will occur during
scene activation. For instance you may want the pan and tilt to move to their new positions before the intensity or
color change occurs.
These controls are set using the TL-2448 menu system. The MLIGHT menu has 3 submenus which enable
control of scene fade functions. A diagram of the moving lights menus is shown below. You can alter any of
these settings at any time.
