Invert
The invert options available are "None", "Invert Pan", "Invert Tilt" and
"Invert Both".
Inverting Tilt can be particularly useful if you’ve rigged Front of House
fixtures the opposite way around to those onstage, or you have some
fixtures sat on the floor.
Inverting Pan can be particularly useful if you wish your rig to be
symmetrical, so the beams move into and away from Centre Stage
rather than all in the same direction.
Swap
Swapping Pan and Tilt can be particularly useful if a fixture is rigged
on its side. In this function, any values defined for Pan will be output
on the Tilt channel(s), and any values defined for Tilt will be output on
the Pan channel(s).
With a fixture’s home position of Pan and Tilt at 50%, inverting or swapping these parameters won’t make an instant
visible change. Therefore, it’s recommended that before editing these values, you select all the fixtures and move
them all to a different position. Now, as you change Invert or Swap options, you’ll see the beams updating live.
Change Fixture
The Change Profiles function can be used to change a fixture in your
show, to a different type. It is useful if a mistake has been made (for
example, adding the wrong model or mode) but also allows for a
complete swap-out of the physical fixtures from one type to another,
for example if there’s a fault and you can’t get an identical replacement
fixture.
Touch the appropriate cell, or select all the fixtures to be changed and
touch the column header button labelled Change all Profiles . A popup
window will open with the list of manufactures, fixture types and modes
available.
After choosing the replacement fixture, ZerOS will attempt to apply all
the programming that was done with the original fixture, and apply it to
the new fixture.
If the new fixtures require more DMX channels per unit than the
previous fixture type, you will be required to add in the new DMX start
addresses. Parameters in the new fixture type that were not present in
the original fixture type are left unprogrammed.
If RigSync has discovered and patched an RDM fixture, the Change Profiles column can be used to remotely
change the mode of the fixture.
