Fixture Numbers
Each fixture in the schedule has its own fixture number. Initially, these fixture numbers are
set sequentially within the Master Groups, eg Dimmers 1 - 48, MAC 500s 1 - 20, MAC
600s 1 - 20, etc. You can alter these numbers if required.
It is recommended that you take some time thinking about numbering your fixtures. It is
useful to renumber your fixtures to something logical and unique, as this will be how each
fixture will then be referenced during programming and playback. A fairly common one is
to prefix each fixture type with a number, so for example:
Dimmers 1 - 48 remain as fixture numbers 1 – 48.
MAC 500’s 1 - 20 become fixture numbers 501 – 520.
MAC 600’s 1 - 20 become fixture numbers 601 – 620.
To renumber a complete group of fixtures, the ALL line can be used.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the ALL row and No column and then press the
SET key. Enter the fixture number for the first fixture in the group and press ENTER.
Example: Select the MAC 500 fixture group and enter 501 in the ALL row and No column.
The MAC 500 fixtures will be renumbered 501, 502, 503 etc.
Notes – Fixture Numbers
If a fixture number is not globally unique, ie another fixture exists with the same fixture
number in a different Master Group, then a ‘*’ is displayed after the fixture number.
One advantage of renumbering fixtures so they all have a unique fixture number is that
they can be entered directly when programming, without having to select a group first, for
example, 501 + 502 would select the first two MAC 500 fixtures in the example above.
Naming Fixtures
The Fixture name defaults to the fixture type (eg MAC 500). Fixtures can be renamed by
the user, if required (eg Left MAC 500, Centre MAC 500, Right MAC 500).
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to Name column and then press the SET key.
Enter the name of the fixture using the external keyboard, then press ENTER.
