Fixture pan/tilt control
The pan/tilt control supports 8- or 16-bit pan and tilt control in any combination of control channels.
Defining 8-bit pan/tilt
Defining pan and tilt controls with 8 bit resolution is pretty straight forward. Check the Enable Pan/
Tilt Control 8-bit box and enter the relevant offsets in the pan and tilt DMX offset respectively (note
offsets start at 0 not 1)
Defining 16-bit pan/tilt
To enable 16 bit Pan/tilt control, check the Enable Pan/Tilt Control 16-bit box. If the fixture uses
pan and tilt MSB/LSB control on adjacent channels simply enter the enter the relevant offsets in the
pan and tilt offset respectively (note offsets start at 0 not 1), otherwise please read through the Pan/
Tilt patching section below.
Misc Movement Control (dynamic function) - Check to enable a drag bar control below the main pan/
tilt grid. This control may, for example, be used to control a speed attribute linked to the fixtures pan/
tilt.
Enable Position Presets - check to enable position presets for the profile.
Enable Movement Macros - check this option to enable movement macros for the profile.
Enable Follow Spot Function - check to enable the follow spot function for the profile.
Patching the 16 bit Pan and Tilt channels
This option is only available when 16 bit pan/tilt control has been selected. In order to perform the
internal calculations (for example fades or movement macros) LightJockey requires the pan and tilt
values to be present in an adjacent MSB/LSB format (the pan and tilt control channels them selves
do not have to be adjacent). MSB and LSB are also often referred to as coarse and fine channels.
Since not all fixture protocols follow this format for 16 bit pan/tilt control it may be necessary to patch
the output of the pan and tilt values to the correct control channels after the relevant calculations have
been performed.
Example 1
Fixture control channels offsets (offset at 0):
Pan MSB(coarse) 10
Pan LSB(fine) 11
Tilt MSB(coarse) 15
Tilt LSB (fine) 16
Since the fixture has adjacent MSB/LSB control channels no patching is necessary.
Pan DMX Offset 10
Tilt DMX Offset 15
