Functions available on the tablet
To select a fixture or a group, just press the pen onto one of the fixture
pads or group pads. The first 60 fixtures are available on the tablet.
Only the first 30 groups are available on the tablet. The Swop button
LEDs on the handles will light up to show you which fixtures are
selected, as if you had pressed the actual console buttons.
You can control the position of the fixture by drawing on the Stage area
of the tablet.
You can “train” the DLC-C003 so that it knows how all the lights are set
up. Then when you point at the stage area of the tablet, all the lights
will point at the same place on the stage. This is called “Tracking mode”.
The Reference manual tells you how to do this and how to use tracking
mode.
If you press the pen on the Nudge pad, when you draw on the tablet
the fixture will move relative to its current position. This can be useful if
you want to slightly reposition a fixture. Press on the Absolute pad to
turn off this mode.
You can control the intensity of the selected fixtures by drawing on the
Dimmer area.
If the fixture can do CMY colour mixing, you can set the colour by
drawing in the colour mix area of the tablet (you will need to set the
Luminosity on the luminosity slider to maximum).
You can recall the first 60 palette entries by pressing the pen on the
Focuses pads.
You can change individual attributes of selected fixtures by pressing the
pen on to one of the attribute pads, then (without lifting the pen)
drawing up and down on the tablet. The attribute lights on the console
will come on to show you which attribute is selected.
On the right hand side of the tablet, a range of pads make some of the
programmer functions are available, such as Clear and Locate Fixtures.
You can also record groups and memories using the tablet exactly as if
you were pressing buttons on the console. The details are in the
reference manual.
The “Fixtures or Mimics” pad allows you to set whether the LEDs in the
Swop buttons show you which fixtures are selected, or the intensity of
the channel.
