OVERVIEW
When you have selected a fixture(s), Universal mode (on the consoles encoder touch screen)
provides universal attribute controls that are always in the same locations on the screen and
operate in exactly the same way, regardless of which fixture types you have selected. This not
only allows multiple types of fixtures to be controlled simultaneously but also simplifies the
control of complex fixtures that might use multiple attributes to control an effect or fixtures that
use one attribute to change the mode of another attribute. Universal mode automatically
interprets these attributes and presents a single control for each effect.
For example, the fixture being controlled might have a gobo mode attribute and a gobo
index/rotate attribute or it may use a single gobo index/rotate attribute that has index from 0 to
127 and rotate from 128 to 255. When you use the Universal mode you don’t need to care about
these modes because Clarity automatically interprets these attributes and always provides a
control for gobo rotate and a control for gobo index.
If a listed attribute does not exist on any of the selected fixtures, then that attribute control is
still visible but disabled.

UNIVERSAL MODE PAGES
Universal controls are arranged in 4 main pages that are selected by the buttons at the bottom
of the screen. The main pages are:
General Colour Beam Media Server
Each page has rows of controls that you connect to the encoder wheels by using the buttons to
the left of that row.
The Colour, Beam and Media Servers have sub pages that can be selected by either holding their
button and selecting from the sub pages that appear or by using the next two buttons to the
right.
