XYZ Format Enable / Disable
Buttons like {Next} and {Last} are used to step through ranges (such as colors in a color
scroller) one step at a time. {Min} and {Max} allow you to send a parameter to its minimum or
maximum limit with one press.
Modes allows you to switch between modes of a parameter (if any exist); for example, a
rotating gobo wheel. If additional modes are available, their softkeys will display at the top of
the encoder controls display.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Press {Expand} to see all of the information about any device with a frame table. Press again to
collapse to the normal view. You may make selections from the Expand screen. The
colors/images in the device are established in patch (see
Using the Scroller/Wheel Picker and
Editor (on page 167) ).
{XYZ Format Enable / Disable} toggles between storing position data in pan / tilt format, and
XYZ format for use with Augment3d.
Encoder Navigation
Use the encoder page buttons (located to the upper right of the encoder LCD) to choose which
parameters are currently available on the encoders. There are six readily usable buttons:
[Focus], [Color], [Custom], [Form], [Image], and [Shutter]. Pressing any of these will change
the parameters controlled by the encoders.
Some fixtures have more parameters than can be displayed on one encoder page. The number
of pages for each category is displayed at the right side of the encoder screen. To view the
other pages, simply press the [Color], [Custom], [Shutter], [Image], or [Form] button to
advance the pages, or press an encoder button with a number key to go directly to the page
you want to access.
The number of pages is indicated in the LCD.
Encoders can be switched from course mode into fine by holding down [Shift] while using an
encoder will put it in fine mode for as long as [Shift] is held down. Once [Shift] is released, the
encoder will return to course mode.
Encoders in Blind
The encoders and the level wheel are disabled by default when in the blind display. Pressing an
[Encoder Page Keys], for example [Color], will enable the encoders and level wheel. When the
encoders are disabled, trackball functionality for pan and tilt will also be disabled.
Flexi Encoders
In Flexi mode, any empty locations for parameters not applicable for selected channels will be
suppressed. By default, the encoder display will be in Flexi mode.
Holding down [Flexi] and an [Encoder Page Keys], for example [Image], can be used to exit or
enter Flexi mode.
