press the
key.
Dimmer and color effects can often be adjusted in width. The width control how many of your selected fixtures are
using the "High" value and how many are using the "Low" value. Width can be adjusted on the right encoder
(without pressing the
key). Tapping the encoder gives you access to some predefined values called One ,
Two or Three . These can be used to set the amount of fixtures using the high value.
When a fixture is under the influence of an effect, then there's a magenta marker next to the Fixture ID.
Store an effect
Once you have build your effect to your liking, then you can store it. You can store it in a existing cue or you can
store it in a new cue or even in a preset.
The effects will begin when you run the cue, and it will fade in using the fade time of the cue.
Stop an effect
You can stop an effect that is running in a cue by stopping the executor or you can program a cue where it stops.
To program a cue where the effects stops you need to have some active "stop" values in your programmer. We use
a special effect called "Stomp" to stop effects values.
Select the fixture you want to stop running an effect and select the Preset Type of the running effect. Now open the
effects editor by pressing the
Effect
key. Here you can tap the Stomp button. Don't tap the Off button. This will
just take values out of your programmer. It doesn't stop your effect. You need to have the Stomp value in your
programmer and store this as a cue after the one where the effect is started.
If you don't have any fixtures selected when you tap Stomp then you are stopping all fixtures using an effect in that
Preset Type.
Effects will stop using the fade time in the cue.
Grab running effects
If you need to grab an effect from a cue and store it in a new cue, then you need to have the "source" cue running -
could be in preview (
) - select the fixtures running the effect and activate the preset type
that's running the effect. Now you have these effect values in your programmer and can store it somewhere else.
One of the advantages of storing your effects in presets and then use the (effect) preset in the cue is that it's a lot
easier to grab the value. Simply tap the preset.
5.12. How to connect wings, nodes, 3D and onPC
There are several things you can connect together. Everything is connected on an Ethernet network infrastructure.
This means that you need to connects all you devices using Ethernet cables (Cat.5e quality or better) to a switch
that minimum runs at 100MB speed and the switch needs to be able to handle Multicast. All devices in the
network use IPv6 to talk to each other - so the switch needs to be able to handle this as well.
If you don't know what IPv6 is and you have trouble with the connections, please read the
