Please Note:
If you assign more than one fixture to a single fixture fader then you cannot control each of those
fixtures individually - all those fixtures will always do the same thing as the others. If you want
independent control of fixtures then those fixtures must be assigned to separate fixture faders.
Label
- The label for that fixture fader is shown under this title. Like all items shown in yellow this
label can be edited allowing you to give fixture faders meaningful names.
To edit any labels simply double-click on the label and an
Enter Label
dialogue box will appear. Edit
the label and then press [Enter] , or click on the
Enter
button, to enter the label. As an example,
double-click on the label
Par Can
, edit it to
Front Cans
and then press
[Enter]
to enter that label.
Similarly, double-click on the label
GoldenScan HPE,
edit it to
Front Scan
then press
[Enter]
.
Type
- The type of fixture assigned to that fader is shown under this title. A copy of this name is
used as the default ‘label’ until you edit the label (as described above) and replace it with your own.
Fixture List
When a fader row is highlighted in the Fader list the addresses that the fixture (or fixtures) are
patched to are displayed here. Initially, when a fixture is selected using the
Library
button there are
no addresses assigned.
The information provided in this display is as follows:
Fix
Each physical fixture(s) that is patched to a fixture fader is shown under this title in white by its
number (
1 to 24 ) e.g. if you assigned 4 par cans with different channels (DMX addresses) to the
fader, the
Fix
numbers
1
to
4
would be shown in white with the remaining
Fix
numbers
5
to
24
shown in grey to indicate that they were not used.
Dmx Address
The DMX address range for each fixture patched to the fixture fader is shown under this title.
Name
This can be edited, in the normal way, for easy identification of the fixture(s) or bank of fixtures. If
the fixture you are patching uses a dip switch for setting its DMX start address and you wish to
view the dip switch setting for the DMX channel set for that fixture on the patch screen then
clicking on the
Options > Display Dip Switch
menu item to tick it will replace the fixture
Name
with the correct dip switch setting to set on the fixture for that DMX address. Clicking again on the
Options > Display Dip Switch
menu item will un-tick it and the dipswitch settings will be
replaced with the fixture
Name
.
When assigning physical fixtures to fixture faders using the fixtures menu, the necessary number of
channels for that fixture is automatically patched once the ‘start’ address is entered. The figure
shown in brackets is the DMX universe number (
1-4 ).
