Running a Show
Generally shows are one of two types.
That is either a theater style show
where most things are repeatable and
run in a fixed order - or a live band type
show, where the lighting is selected
live from a set of Pre-defined memories.
The Sirius 500 & 250 can cater for
either type of show; CueLine
®
is ideal
for running a wholly Pre-defined show.
Whereas the Submasters, Go Button
and Focus Submasters are ideal for a
live band type show.
Submasters and Focus Submasters
can be used simultaneously with
CueLine
®
.
Getting Started
When the desk is delivered, it is set up
for 48 (or 24) single channel fixtures.
Before it can be used with multichannel
fixtures, the operator must tell the desk
the fixture types that are to be used.
This is a simple procedure as the desk
is supplied with data on a range of
fixture types. The operator can also
generate new fixture files for new
fixture types or modify existing fixture
files.
The data for each fixture type is held in
a fixture file. This allows the allocation
of the fixtures various parameters to
the Brightness, Colour, Beamshape or
Position attributes and parameter
channel numbering. New fixture files
will be released as new fixtures types
become available.
Desk Set-Up
On delivery the desk defaults to all
fixtures being single channel (generic)
fixtures, with fixture 1 at DMX
channel 1, fixture 2 at DMX channel 2,
etc. With this set-up the desk operates
as a traditional 48 (24) channel
memory desk.
To modify the set-up, it is necessary for
the operator to know what fixtures are
to be controlled by the desk.

Assigning Fixtures
Select an appropriate desk channel(s)
and allocate the fixture type from a list
(see the section on Assigning Fixtures
on page 5-7). The DMX start address
can then be allocated to each fixture.
Once the fixtures have been allocated
to desk channels and a DMX start
address, a certain amount of
modification can be done.
For example, it is possible to invert Pan
and/or Tilt on individual fixtures.
Customising Fixtures
Fixture data files can be customised
allowing for example the grouping of
parameters of 4 Wheel Drive
®
to be
modified. Therefore, if the operator
never wants to use the thumb wheel,
this can be achieved. Or parameter
may be grouped in different orders.
Once customised the new fixture data
file may be allocated to a fixture. For
detailed information please see the
section on Wheel Assignment in
Fixture Set-Up on page 5-25.
CueLine
®
CueLine, is a graphical method of
building and running a complete show,
allowing precise linking of differing
memory types and graphical editing of
all timing information. CueLine works
in either real time or SMPTE time
(where available), or waits for external
triggers to prompt it. The operator is in
total control, with the CueLine display
giving detailed feedback.
The beauty of this method is that it
allows a show with complex timings to
be programmed and edited easily and
quickly.
A monitor and mouse are required to
program and operate CueLine.
