(right of numeric keypad) then A [Show/hide Visualiser]. You need to
select the “Simulator” option on Visualiser to make it read the output of
the Pearl.
The operation of Visualiser is not covered in this manual, please refer to
the Visualiser manual.
Auto Patch
The Auto Patch function automatically creates a Visualiser rig from your
Pearl show. When you start Visualiser using softkey A on the View
menu, Visualiser will open with an automatic representation of your
patch.
You will see the fixtures laid out on screen as they are on the console,
so any spaces between fixtures will be preserved and fixtures patched
to the top row of presets will be shown above fixtures patched to the
bottom row of presets.
If you have patched across multiple pages, each page of fixtures will be
separated by a truss to make it easy to identify them. The Visualiser
will start in run mode, with the simulator tab selected so you can start
controlling lights immediately.
Multiple dimmers patched to one handle will appear as a singe fixture in
Visualiser.
Fixture selection
When a fixture is selected on the console, it is highlighted in blue in
Visualiser.
1.3.5 Key profiles
The Pearl allows you to reconfigure how the front panel buttons work to
suit your method of working. You can save your settings as a Key
Profile. Different profiles can be selected for different users or to
enhance the operation of the console for a particular use. See section
11.3 on page 106 for details.
1.3.6 Key macro recording
Lighting programming can sometimes require a repeated sequence of
button presses. You can record sequences of keypresses and play them
back with a single keypress – this is called a macro. To record a macro:
1> Press the blue Insert/Macro button (to the right of the numeric
keys).
2> Press B [Record]
3> Press a vacant preset Flash button. Recording starts. The
Insert/Macro button flashes during recording.
4> Press the sequence of buttons you want to record.
5> Press Insert/Macro to finish recording.
To play back the macro, just press the grey Flash button where you
recorded the macro.
