Head
Page 19
Note: Never set two heads to have the same or an overlapping DMX output
address; this will result in the controller sending two sets of values to the
same address which may have unpredictable effects.
If you press Cancel the changes will be abandoned.
Some non-CE range effects can only be set to a group of DMX channels, unlike the
CE range which can be set to any individual channel. If the head you are setting is one
of these, make sure you set a DMX channel that is possible for the head.
4: View DMX settings
This option allows you to view the controller’s DMX output channel for each head.
The controller will first display the settings of head 1:
Hd 01:Futurescan 2CE
Ch:01 „…ƒ‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚‚
You can either keep pressing Save to display each head in turn, or press the head
number button of the head you want to see. Press Cancel to leave this mode.
Note: The dipswitch graphics are only displayed for CE-range effects, as the
method of setting the switches varies on other types of unit.
5: Pan/tilt invert
This option allows you to change the way the joystick controls the head. Normally,
left-right movement of the joystick (Pan) causes left-right movement of the mirror
and up-down movement (Tilt) causes up-down movement of the mirror. However, it
is often useful to be able to invert the movement so that you move the joystick up to
make the mirror go down, or right to go left. It is also sometimes useful (if you have a
head mounted on its side, for example) to be able to swap the pan and tilt so that up-
down joystick movement controls left-right mirror movement.
The controller allows you to do any or all of these, individually for each head. The
controller will ask you which head you want to change; when you select one, the
display shows
