different from the colour chosen on the
Colour Picker
. This also means that if you select different devices
at the same time and select a colour, it could be that they do not output exactly the same colour. Avoid
these problems by always editing the colour of one type of device at a time and using the
Colour Tiles
dialogue for devices with a fixed set of colours.

To make the pan and tilt controls more intuitive go to
Settings View / Patch / Device Properties
. Select
Invert Pan
and/or
Invert Tilt
to make the Position Picker and Position Joystick more intuitive.
Some more advanced lights have the ability to move. These devices are often called Moving Lights.
Most Moving Lights have two controls for position called Pan and Tilt. Pan is the amount in degrees that
a device is rotated around its base from its home position. Tilt is the amount in degrees that a device is
sloped away from its vertical position.
On the Ray Console you control degrees, not DMX-values, which means that if you have two devices
with different ranges of movement, they will cleverly move in sync with each other.
Position Picker
The position picker is the tool for controlling your Moving Heads by panning (rotating) and tilting your
devices. The x-axis controls the pan parameter. The y-axis controls the tilt parameter. On the console the
positions that all selected devices can achieve are highlighted. Along the bottom of the dialogue is a list of
recently selected positions.
Position Joystick
The Position joystick is for fine-tuning the position of your device. Drag the dot in the direction you want
to move pan and tilt. The further from the centre you drag the dot, the faster the device will move. The
