Vari-Lite
Use this section to correctly configure and control the certain features for
Vari-Lite fixtures.
VL5 and VL5a
VL5 and VL5a fixtures do not provide the ability for internal dimming, thus an
external dimmer is required. Status Cue allows the VL5’s
Dim
Construct to be
patched separately from other fixture Constructs. This is useful for patching all
Dim
channels in numeric order or allowing all
Dim
channels to be placed on a
separate Link.
Note: VL5’s Dim and other channels must be kept on the same LinkCard, but not
necessarily on the same Link.
Example:
After adding VL5 fixtures, select the
Dim
channels and click the
Patch
button
(Figure C.10.). Then patch the
Dim
channels to the desired Link.
