4.1.12 Attribute groups – IPCGBES-FX
To make life a bit simpler, the console groups together attributes
which have similar effects, using the letters IPCGBES-FX.
I-Intensity (dimmer, strobe shutter)
P-Position (pan, tilt)
C-Colour (colour wheel, CMY mixing)
G-Gobo (gobo wheels, gobo rotate, gobo position)
B-Beam (iris, focus, zoom, beam shaper)
E-Effects (prism)
S-Special (motor speeds)
FX-Shapes, Pixel Mapper
These groups are used to select which attributes you want to work
with in many of the functions on the console, particularly when you
are “masking off” certain attributes from being saved.
Above the attributes roller on the Touch Wing, the console shows you
which attribute group you are currently changing (the grey box). The
Attribute Group is also highlighted in blue if the programmer contains
any of those attributes. For example in the image above we are
currently changing Colour attributes, but Intensity and Special
attributes have also been modified.
4.1.13 Using fixture groups
You can create groups of fixtures or dimmer channels, which can then
be quickly selected together by pressing a grey palette button,
touching a group button (shown in the Groups window on the Touch
Wing) or typing the group number. You can, for example, make a
group for each type of fixture, or group by stage left / stage right,
etc.
If you assign a group to a handle with a fader, the fader becomes an
intensity master for the group. See section
10.1.6 on page 176 for
more details.
