Operation.
When the IQ-MX80 is first turned on from new, it will start in
Manual mode, the display will show
- - - - -
and the manual LED
will be lit. On subsequent occasions, when the IQ-MX80 is
switched on, it will resume operation from where it was switched
off, allowing it to be turned on and off remotely and operate
automatically in situations where an operator is not available.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, the user has direct control over any number
of the lanterns with the colour and gobo touch pads and the
joystick.
First select the colour and gobo required. To select split
colours, touch two adjacent pads: i.e. to select red/green split,
touch red and green together. To select colour scrolling, set the
scrolling speed on the speed control and then touch magenta and
white together.
Then select the lanterns required by touching the lantern
select pads. The selected colour and gobo will then be assigned to
the selected lanterns. The joystick will then control the movement
of the selected lanterns. The colour and gobo must be selected
first. This allows several cans to be controlled simultaneously by
the joystick, but with different colours and gobos.
Whenever a lantern is selected it takes the colour and gobo
selected on the colour/gobo keypad. The joystick controls the
movement of all selected lanterns.
To change the colour and gobo, change the colour and gobo,
deselect the lantern by touching the lantern select pad, and then
re-select the lantern.
When a lantern is de-selected, it remains in the last position
set on the joystick. This allows all lanterns to be positioned
individually.
To select strobe touch blackout and
l
together. If selecting
strobe on the Microbeam, Datamoon or IQ250, first select white;
otherwise these products will attempt to strobe in other colours
and will not be too successful. The Predators, Chroma HX and
IQ500 can strobe in any colour.
In manual mode, the blackout pad turns the lamp off on
