The Desk
The Sirius 500 can control up to 48
individual multichannel fixtures. The
Sirius 250 can control up to 24
Multichannel fixtures.
Throughout this introduction the figures
for the Sirius 250 are shown in
brackets after the figures for the
Sirius 500.
The desk controls the intensity of the
Brightness of the fixtures via the
PRESET faders. Over 400 (over 200
on the Sirius 250) other channels are
available to control the additional
attributes of multichannel fixtures.
These channels are allocated to
fixtures as required.
In addition to using the two traditional
48/24 channel presets, Brightness
memories can be accessed
sequentially by using the GO button, or
randomly via the four pages of twenty
(four pages of twelve on the Sirius 250)
submasters. The GO button and the
submasters can run either scene or
chase memories.
The Sirius 500 & 250 both have
Ninety-nine pages of ten memory
selection buttons for each of the
attributes (Colour, Beamshape and
Position); each memory can record a
scene or chase memory.
Ninety-nine pages of ten Focus
Submaster buttons provide combined,
instant access to Colour, Beamshape
and Position memories. Each Focus
Submaster can hold one of each of the
above. All can be scene or chase
memories.
Five MACRO buttons can be used to
record and replay a series of button
pushes.
Eight AUXILIARY buttons (four on the
Sirius 250) can be used to switch
outputs on and off, for example, house
lights or DMX smoke machines.
Both desks can operate in TWO
PRESET or WIDE mode. WIDE mode
can only be activated when the desk is
in PROGRAM or RUN mode, not in
PRESETS ONLY mode.
/p1-4/3
When in WIDE mode the Sirius 500
can control 96 fixtures and the
Sirius 250 can control 48 fixtures. Only
the first 48 (24) fixtures can be
multichannel; the second 48 (24) are
conventional (generic) only.
Displays
Programming information and the help
facility (where available) can be viewed
in the larger of the two liquid crystal
displays (called the Memory Display)
on the front panel.
The smaller of the two liquid crystal
displays (the Wheel Display) guides
the operator by indicating which
parameter can be adjusted on which
wheel. The function of the wheels is
dependent on the operating mode of
the desk and fixture data. When the
wheels are not in use, the display is
blank.
The desk has an SVGA output for use
with a standard colour computer
monitor. This enables the operator to
view the output levels and
programming information to better
effect. This speeds up the
programming and use of the desk, and
provides the operator with instant
feedback. The majority of functions are
useable without the monitor but some
become a lot easier and quicker with it.
Throughout this manual the procedure
for operating the desk using only the
Memory and Wheel Displays is
described separately from using the
desk with a monitor, which is referred
to in the MONITOR NOTES.
The arrow keys below the Memory
Display enable the operator to gain
access to a screen, select options and
scroll through the menus.
An external keyboard can be used for
text entry, memory selection and time
entry as well as duplicating the arrow
keys on the desk..
