Focus points
When working with moving lights, sometimes the attributes of several
lights are stored together in a group and the group recorded into one or
more cues. If the group changes, such as if the lights are repositioned
toward another point on stage, the cues need to be manually updated or
replaced to account for that change.
Focus points can be used to provide automatic updating in situations like
this and others, such as when colors are changed after show
programming is essentially complete. Channels referencing focus points
that store color information automatically update when the color channels
in the focus point change. If many references are made to these focus
points in the show, all will change when the focus point changes, making
widespread updating a convenient operation.
The console allows up to 99 user-definable focus points. It also has a
special focus point, focus point 0, that contains all DMX In levels.
