Applying presets to fixtures
There are two methods to apply existing presets to fixtures.
Applying presets from the pan/tilt control
The first method is to open the preset dialog, and high-light a preset in the list, and then use the apply
button on the pan/tilt control. This will apply the preset to all selected fixtures. The second method is
to select highlight the preset line in the preset list, and then click Apply. Or simply double-click the
preset line. When using the dialog the local selection filter is used:
Master fixture This will apply the preset to the master fixture only.
Selected Fixtures This will apply the preset to the selected fixtures.
All Fixtures This will apply the preset to all fixtures
Once a preset has been to a fixture applied, the pan/tilt coordinates in the bottom of the position
control will be replaced by the preset name.
Clearing presets
There are several ways to clear an applied preset. The easiest is to select Clear on the position
control, this will 'dissolve' the preset into the pan and tilt values contained in the preset. Alternatively
click Clear on the preset list, and set the fixture selection accordingly. Finally, any changes in pan
and tilt values in the position control, will clear automatically clear the preset and replace the preset
with the physical pan and tilt values.
Deleting presets
To delete a preset, right-click the preset in the list and select Delete preset. Note that it is possible
to delete a preset that is all ready in use in sequences.
Auto Apply Preset
The preferences menu contains an option to automatically apply the preset to the fixtures when saving
the preset. Saving with this option enabled is identical to first saving the preset, and then clicking
Apply on the preset list.
Non pan/tilt movement controls
A number of built in fixture profiles implements movement controls that aren't really traditional pan tilt
controls. Examples are Martin Wizard, SynchroZap or Centerpiece. Although accessed the same way
as the pan/tilt position control, they do not include options such as position presets or movement
macros. Often the controls are used to set continuous movement such as rotation of the mirror drum
of the Martin Wizard as well as a static position such as the swivel position of the Wizard's mirror
drum.
