3 Pan calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom, focus, iris,
and tilt position for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
→→ and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
4 Tilt calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom, focus,
iris, and pan position for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
→→ and press
[Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
5 To calibrate the dimmer, select →→ and press [Enter]. Hold a piece of paper over the
lens. Set the offset to 0 and then increase it until light is clearly projected onto the paper. Press [Enter] to
save the setting. Remove the paper.
6 To calibrate color mixing flags (cyan, magenta, yellow, and color temperature correction), project white
beams with no dimming and position them for easy comparison. On each fixture, including the reference,
select
→→ and press [Enter]. (This adds a defined amount of cyan.) Select one fixture to
be the reference. Adjust the offsets on the other fixtures to match the reference color. Press [Enter] to save
the setting. Repeat for
(magenta), (yellow), and (CTC).
7 Focus calibration is useful when two or more fixtures are the same distance from a projection surface. To
calibrate focus, set up all fixtures with the same focus, zoom, dimming, iris, and gobo values. Select a
focussed fixture to be the reference. On the other fixtures, select
→→ and press [Enter].
Adjust the offset to focus the image. Press [Enter] to save the setting.
