4. Controlling dimmers and fixtures
When you are programming a show, and sometimes when you are
running a show, you need to manually control the fixtures and
dimmers to set the intensity, position, colour, etc. To do this you first
select the fixtures you want to change using the select buttons, then
you set the attributes of those fixtures using the Wheels and Attribute
buttons.
You can also set fade/timing information for each attribute of each
fixture which is treated as an additional attribute of the fixture.
4.1 Using the select buttons and wheels
4.1.1 Selecting fixtures and dimmers for control
To select the fixtures or dimmer channels that you want to control,
you use the Fixture Select buttons to select the fixtures into the
Editor. You can select fixtures or dimmers individually, or several at
once. On the Pearl Expert your fixtures may be patched on the preset
faders, which you select using the blue buttons, or on the Touch
Wing, which you select by touching fixture buttons.
1> Press the Select buttons for the fixtures you want. The select
button will light up when the fixture is selected – on touch
buttons the button turns pale blue or on the preset playback
faders the select button will light up (they are also shown in
light blue on the HUD).
2> To select a range of fixtures, hold down the Select button for
the first fixture then press the Select button for the last fixture.
For touch buttons, run your finger across the buttons – a
selection box will draw on the touch screen.
Here are some other things to know:
• Press Locate (at the bottom right of the console) to light up the
selected fixtures in open white and move them to a central
position. See the next section for more Locate options.
• You can deselect a fixture by pressing the select button again.
• If you have the touch wing connected, at the top of the screen,
the console will show you which fixtures are currently selected.
