Head
Page 20
If you press 1 (pan invert), 2 (tilt invert) or 3 (pan/tilt swap) then a star will appear
next to the option, telling you that the option is active (the control is inverted). If you
have previously set the option, then a star will already be displayed. Press the key
again to turn the option off.
Press Save or Cancel when you have finished (any changes you make will be saved
whichever you press). If you want to set another head, select the option again.
If the head you want to invert has a rotation function (such as a Gladiator or Galactic
Moon), use the Pan Invert option to invert the rotation.
Pan/tilt invert does not affect the way your scenes or chases are recalled; it only has an
effect on the joystick when you are positioning the heads prior to saving a scene.
However, the invert settings are used in the Light Show mode, and when recalling
the pre-programmed scenes and chases; this allows you to vary their appearance.
6: Light Show group
This option lets you set which ‘group’ each head belongs to when the unit is running
its automatic light show. There are 4 possible groups; the controller will generate
contrasting effects on each group. You can add a lot of variety and interest to the light
show by carefully selecting the group for each head depending on the physical location
of the unit and the type of unit. You can also set the group to ‘Off’ which tells the
controller not to include the head in the light show.
Light Show Group
Head:01 Group:3
Select the head by pressing a number button, then select one of the four possible
groups for that head by pressing button 1-4, or select ‘Off’ by pressing any other key.
Press Save or Cancel when you have finished setting heads.
If you’ve got less than 16 heads, you should set the unused heads on the controller to
‘Off’; this will prevent the controller from trying to use heads that aren’t actually
connected which might result in an unexpected blackout.
See section 14 on page 56 for details of Light Show mode, and advice on how to
configure your system for best results.
7: Auto Light-up mode
When you are programming a light show, it can sometimes be difficult to remember
which head is which. The Auto Light-up option helps you by opening the shutter on
the head (turning the light on) when you select it. If you change your mind and
deselect the head again without moving it, the light will be automatically turned off. If
you change any control on the head, it will stay on when you deselect it.
