Followspot Control

The Best Boy HP Luminaire can be controlled by a PRG Followspot Controller (FSC). In order to interface with this 
device, followspot functionality and indicators are incorporated into luminaire’s menu system. 

Note:  

For more information about FSC installation or 

operation, refer to the PRG Followspot Controller User 
Manual (02.9812.0060).

The 

Pan/Tilt 

menu provides a FOLLOW SPOT panel. This panel displays which mechanisms are currently enabled for 

followspot control (e.g., "intensity," "zoom/iris," "all," "none," etc.)

Pressing FOLLOW SPOT brings up the 

Follow Spot

 menu. This menu is used to specify which mechanisms (of the 

four available) are controlled by a Followspot Controller, which will override DMX control on those mechanisms.
