MENU AND SETUP FUNCTIONS
PAN AND TILT INVERT
The joystick can be used to control pan and tilt when a fixture has a pan and tilt feature.
Sometimes a fixture is oriented in a way so that its pan or tilt movement is opposite that of the
joystick movement. You can use this to invert the direction of the pan or tilt for each fixture.
This setting will not affect the faders or the wheels when they are used to control pan or tilt.
From this menu, use data wheel #1 to select the fixture then use data wheels #2 or #3 to set the
invert states for pan or for tilt. You must then press, “enter” to save the selection.
ADJUST FACTORY CHASES
The Show Designer 2CF provides 48 preprogrammed chases of pan and tilt movements that are
referred to as factory chases. These are mostly circle movements and some other pan and tilt
effects. Use this menu to adjust the pan and tilt centers of these chases. This is helpful when
one of the circle chases is close to what you want but is not in the exact desired location. You
can use this while the chase is running so that you can see the results as you make
adjustments. First select the factory chase number (1-48) using data wheel #1 then adjust the
pan or tilt offset using data wheels #2 or #3. The offset can be adjusted in a plus or minus
direction. This menu does not require you to press “enter” to complete the change. Be aware
that any scene that uses this factory chase will be affected by this adjustment.
SELECT HOME SCENE
This allows you to select a home scene that will be called automatically whenever you use the
“clear all” function when holding down the “black” switch for 2 seconds. This can be used to
call up a default lighting configuration such as all beams centered, full intensity at white when
building a new scene. Use data wheels 1 and 2 to select the desired page and scene number
then press “enter”. You must of course have a scene saved at that location for it to work. You
can use any saved scene as the home scene.
SET MIDI CHANNEL
This allows you to select the MIDI channel that Show Designer 2CF will send and receive on.
Select from 1-16 using data wheel #1 then press “enter”. See MIDI section for more details.
VIEW MEMORY SIZE
This allows you to see how much memory is left for scenes and shows. It is displayed in
kilobytes remaining. Memory usage varies depending on the size and complexity of the scenes.
SAVE MEMORY FILE TO CF
This allows you to back up the memory to a compact flash card. The message “Press enter to
save file to CF” will appear on the top line of the display. The default file name will appear on
the bottom line. You can use the data wheel or the external keyboard to enter a new file name.
Insert a formatted CF card in the slot and press enter. The message “File has been saved” will
appear when finished. The content of the entire memory is backed up including all menu
settings, scenes, presets, chases and shows. The file will have the extension .sdm and is
compatible with Windows as long as you adhere to Window’s file naming rules. The file name
can use up to 8 characters. You do not need to add the extension when typing in the file name.
Read the section at the end of this manual on using the compact flash for more information.
