Pearl 2004 Manual v1 - 27th August 2004
CHAPTER NINE
9. The graphics tablet
This chapter contains: Connecting the graphics tablet; using the tablet;
selecting fixtures on the tablet; changing the position of the fixtures;
changing colours and other attributes; storing palette entries; other
functions.
The graphics tablet is an accessory to the Pearl. On “Touring” models it
is fitted in the flightcase to the right of the console. It allows you to use
a pen (or a puck) to select fixtures, groups, colours, and position the
fixtures by simply drawing with the pen. When you use the Pearl’s
Tracking mode you can instantly make all your fixtures point at one
place on the stage just by pressing on the tablet.
The tablet makes programming and operating a show on the Pearl
much more intuitive. If you don’t have a graphics tablet you’re missing
out!
