Example 2
Fixture control channels offsets (offset at 0)
Pan LSB(fine) 10
Pan MSB(coarse) 11
Tilt LSB (fine) 15
Tilt MSB(coarse) 16
The fixture has adjacent pan/tilt MSB/LSB control channels, but the MSB/LSB format is reversed
(LSB is first) - so in this case it is necessary to patch the Pan and Tilt values.
Pan DMX Offset 10
Tilt DMX Offset 15
Pan Patch MSB to 11
Pan Patch LSB to 10
Tilt Patch MSB to 16
Tilt Patch LSB to 15
Example 3
Fixture control channels offsets (offset at 0)
Pan MSB(coarse) 4
Tilt MSB(coarse) 5
Pan LSB(fine) 13
Tilt LSB (fine) 14
The fixture has non adjacent pan and tilt control channels, but since it has two control channels in
adjacent pairs it is still possible to use the control channels to perform the calculations and then
patch them afterwards:
Pan DMX Offset 4
Tilt DMX Offset 13
Pan patch MSB to 4
Pan Patch LSB to 13
Tilt Patch MSB to 5
Tilt Patch LSB to 14
Example 4
Pan MSB(coarse) 4
Tilt MSB(coarse) 7
Pan LSB(fine) 13
Tilt LSB (fine) 16
In this case there are no pairs of two adjacent channels that LightJockey needs to perform the
calculations so it is necessary to perform the calculations in channels that are not used for other
purposes. This means reserving 4 extra control channels, effectively using 4 channels extra pr fixture
and limits the profile to a total of 28 useful DMX channels. So for example, if the fixtures last used
offset is 20 enter the following values:
Pan DMX Offset 21
Tilt DMX Offset 23
Pan patch MSB to 4
Pan Patch LSB to 13
Tilt Patch MSB to 7
Tilt Patch LSB to 16
