SELECT FLEX FADER MODE
The flex fader section can operate in three different ways; to control moving light channels, to control
conventional dimmers, or as additional playback masters. Select the desired operation mode and press
“enter”. None of the programming information will be lost when switching back and forth between
modes.
SELECT PLAYBACK MODES
From this menu you can set the playback faders to operate in LTP or HTP mode. You can also set the
playback flash buttons to operate as “momentary flash”, “latching on/off” or “go”. The flex fader section
can be set differently than the regular playback section. Consult the chapter on playback faders for a
complete explanation of each of the playback modes. Use the data wheels to make each selection and press
“enter” to save.
NOTE: “Go” mode is not available for the flash button when the fader is set to LTP mode.
SELECT HOME SCENE
This allows you to select a home scene that will be called automatically whenever you use the “clear all”
function by 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 the menu
switches or data wheels 1 and 2 to select the desired page and scene number then press “enter”. You must
of course first create the scene and save it before you do this. You can use any saved scene as the home
scene.
PAN AND TILT INVERT
This menu allows you to invert the output of any of the pan or tilt channels for moving light fixtures. With
this menu displayed, use the + and - switches or 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 press “enter” to save the selection.
MODIFY FIXTURE
This menu allows you modify some of the channel attributes of a fixture. These attributes are first set when
you select a fixture from the library. You can also use this menu to create a new fixture that isn’t in the
library by modifying an existing one. First select a fixture as described above in the “Choose Fixture”
section. When trying to create a new fixture, start with “32 DMX Channels” which is the first choice from
the internal list. You can later use the “Copy Fixture” feature as described in the next section to duplicate
the new fixture. You will not be able to enter individual names for each channel when creating a new
fixture. The channel names will be displayed as “chan 1, 2, 3 etc.” You can also create a fixture profile by
downloading the fixture profile editor from the Elation web site. It can be found in the downloads section
and is labeled “SD2 Library Creator”.
With this menu there are fourteen fixture attributes that can be modified. The attributes are: fixture name,
number of channels, black channel, black value, dimmer channel, shutter channel, pan channel, pan fine
channel, tilt channel, tilt fine channel, cyan channel, magenta channel, yellow channel and crossfade mode.
Use the cursor switches to move the underline cursor to the fixture number or use data wheel #1 to select
the fixture you want to modify. Next move the cursor to the “attribute” which is displayed immediately to
the right or use data wheel #2 to select the attribute. Next move the cursor to the “value” line of the
display or use data wheel #3 to select the value for the attribute you are changing. You must press “enter”
