Section III: Intelligent Lighting Controls
INTELLIGENT LIGHTING DEVICE
CONTROLS (for Control Freak and
Bijou Plus models)
Intelligent Lighting Devices all use DMX address
and output levels to control them. A moving light
can have 10 or more DMX address that control
their attributes which can include; color, up/down
(tilt), left/right (pan), type of gobo, etc. Each
attribute is assigned its own DMX address and by
changing the DMX output level the attribute is
manipulated. An example of this would be
moving up as the DMX level goes up from 0 to
100 and moving down as the DMX level goes
from 100 to 0.
Any DMX lighting board can control Intelligent
Lighting Devices simply by patching the Fixtures
DMX addresses to control channels and then
manipulating/adjusting those channel output
levels via cues, Submasters or effects. In fact
many times when using just a couple of moving
lights it is easiest and quickest if you setup the
moving lights attributes on individual Submaster
handles and then just move the handles to make
fast and easy changes of position, color, etc. If
you can set it up so that Fixture 1 has:
Sub 1 = Pan
Sub 2 = Tilt
Sub 3 = Color
Sub 4 = Gobo
Sub 5 = Iris
Sub 6 = Shutter
Sub 7 and so on.....
Then put Fixture 2’s attributes on:
Sub 13 = Pan
Sub 14 = Tilt
Sub 15 = Color
Sub 16 = Gobo
Sub 17 = Iris
Sub 18 = Shutter
Sub 19 and so on....
If you have more than 2 fixtures you can use
several pages of Subs to control them manually.
