7.1.1 Program elements
Every Scan Control program can work on all the available parameters or just some of them.
Operators can in fact decide how many SCENES make up the program (from 1 o 12), which units
to use (from 1 to 12) and which of the individual fixtures’ effects are to be used.
When one of the PROG buttons is pressed and held down, the following appears on the display:
. The enabled scenes are indicated
by the green LEDs that are lit: if none are lit, the program can’t be created. The enabled units are
also shown by lit LEDs: if none are lit, it will seem that the program isn’t running.
For each individual UNIT, the “effects” to be run in the program being created must be specified:
in this sense, everything is considered an “effect”; from Pan and Tilt to the Dimmer and so on.
When creating a program, any effects which haven’t been enabled won’t be controlled.
To add a Scan Control program to a Memory Register, the same is done in REG mode (see 7.6) as
in DIRECT mode (for the creation of programs and for direct use).
7.2 Groups of units
The GROUP function is automatically enabled by pressing and holding down one of the UNIT but-
tons.
The following message appears on the display:
. By pressing the buttons of other
units, (the LEDs of the relative buttons start flashing), a group is created.
Scan Control can only control one group of units, which must all be of the same type.
When the units forming a group have different parameter values, these are replaced on the
display by three asterisks:
. These will be replaced by the numerical value when the
effect is latched on all the units; i.e. when the value of the DMX channel is reached.
Different units in a group are only “uncontrollable” as far as effects are concerned, whereas for
scanners and moving head fixtures (those with Pan and Tilt) it’s possible to use a group with dif-
ferent fixtures (e.g. Galileo scanners with Victory scanners), to run mirror or head movements
simultaneously.
Any movement differences will obviously depend on the relative fixtures’ electromechanical cha-
racteristics.
Only a single unit or one group of units can be controlled manually.
7.3 Movement effects
Scan Control has some dedicated factory programmed movement effects for scanners and
moving head fixtures.
Using these powerful controls, highly effective animated cues can be created with just one com-
mand, and it’s also possible to use them when creating programs, with the considerable advanta-
ge of realising a complete animated cue in a single scene.
Once a unit (e.g. a scanner) has been selected, scrolling with the right-hand SCROLL button gives
access to the page dedicated to these functions. The following appears on the screen:
