Special Notes
Macros
The Best Boy HP Luminaire offers 27 pre-defined sequences, called Macros, which allow for quick and easy control of
luminaire functions such as iris, zoom, framing, and more.
Macro control overrides the DMX control for that parameter. For example, if an iris macro is running, then the DMX
control for iris will not have any effect. Some macros also control multiple functions.
Gobo: Set Zero Position
Set Zero Position allows adjustment of the gobo wheel home position. Refer to
Zoom Tables
The zoom tables, which allow the fixture to maintain sharp focus on an image throughout the zoom range, are
sensitive to the throw distance. For this reason, a variety of zoom table versions are available for use with different
throws. The Zoom Table Select values are handled live to allow cue recall with different zoom tables. If the zoom value
changes and the control channel is on one of the zoom select values, the indicated zoom table will be used for that
zoom recall.
Note also that zoom table select is not persistent between power cycles, it always resets to the default 30' table at
power-up.
Framing
The Framing channels are optional, as controlled by the "Enable Framing" menu selection. (Refer to
