Stand-Alone programming overview 27
there are two rules of thumb that will make life much easier; try to ensure
that:
1 Every fixture has the same number of scenes.
2 Respective scene times are a few seconds longer on the fixture that issues
triggering commands.
The rules used in the algorithm are detailed in “Synchronous triggering
during Stand-Alone operation” on page 35.
Synchronizing scene changes for
multiple Imagers
In situations where you are running multiple Imagers on a data link it is
possible to synchronize scene changes. Read this section if this applies in
your case.
It is important to note that each individual fixture must be programmed with
a show and that the only commands that are passed are scene change
commands. No data about the look of the scene is passed between fixtures.
Setting synchronized triggering options
1 Scroll to S A in the top level of the menus on the control panel and press
[enter].
2 Scroll to S A E and press [enter].
3 Select:
4 Press [enter].
Programming methods
The Imager provides two stand-alone programming methods; using the:
Sin If the fixture will operate in isolation (with no
synchronous triggering). This is the factory default
setting.
Snd If the fixture will send scene triggering signals to the
other Imagers on the data link.
Syn If the fixture should “listen” for scene trigger signals on
the data link.
