The pan, tilt and dimmer will always be preserved from one fixture
type to the next, as will times, shapes and legends for recorded
items. Links from the palettes to groups, cues, chases and cue lists
will also be preserved, so the show can be easily recreated by
updating your palettes as normal.
Fixture exchange also gives you a powerful way to re-use an existing
show with new lights, so you can give yourself a programming head
start when faced with a new fixture.
• It’s a good idea to save your show before performing major
changes such as fixture exchange. Should you change your
mind or have problems, you will easily be able to return your
show to its previous state.
1> Enter patch mode by pressing Patch.
2> Select the new fixture type you wish to use.
3> Touch the select button of the fixture which is to be exchanged.
4> The console will warn you that the fixture is in use. Press the
[Exchange Fixture] option.
5> Repeat from step 3 to exchange other fixtures with the same
type of new fixture.
After exchanging fixtures you need to update the
palettes which used those fixtures. If you have trouble
switching values off in a palette, set new values for all
the attributes in the attribute group and re-record the
palette. You should then be able to switch off an
attribute group as required.
3.2.8 Update personalities
This option allows you to update the personality for a fixture used in
your show. Normally a copy of each fixture personality in the show is
saved in the showfile, so updating the personality library on the
console does not update fixtures which are already patched.
• It’s a good idea to save your show before using Update
Personalities, then you will be able to undo any changes if you
change your mind or have problems.
1> Enter patch mode by pressing Patch.
2> Press [Update Personality] to update an individual fixture type,
or [Update All] to update all patched fixtures to the most recent
version in the library.
3> If updating individual fixtures, the console shows you a list of
personalities used in the show which can be updated.
4> If updating individual fixtures, press the personality you want to
update.
• The new personality is loaded from the Titan/Personalities
folder.
