Virtuoso DX Manual Control
Quick Reference
Common operations and guidelines for using manual controls:
Intensity State Buttons:
• [Full] sets selected luminaires to full* intensity (100%).
• [Out] sets selected luminaires to an out* or inactive state (no parameter data, 0% level).
• [Mark] sets selected luminaires to a marked* state (0% level).
• [Zero] sets selected luminaires to zero* intensity (“hard zero”, 0%).
• Shutter [Open] and [Closed] is used with luminaire strobe or douser mechanisms.
* For a more in-depth explanation, refer to “Intensity States” on page 117.
Pan and Tilt:
• [Flip] causes selected luminaires to pan and tilt until the head is pointing in the same
direction as before. The head assembly pans 180 degrees and tilts as required so that the
head points in the same direction. (DMX moving mirror luminaires will not respond to this
command.)
• [Next] and [Last] increment or decrement channel selection (based on the default setting).
Special encoder functions accessed w/ [Shift] button:
• COLOR
Encoder 4 - WHEEL SPIN
• IMAGE
Encoder 1 - WHEEL SPIN, Encoder 2 - ROTATING SPIN, Encoder 3 - ROTATE, Encoder
4 - EFFECTS SPIN, Encoder 5 - EFFECTS ROTATE, Encoder 6 - ZOOM
Store a new min/max setting:
Step 1. Press button for required function. It will be mapped to soft encoders.
Step 2. Select luminaires to be included in min/max setting. (For example, select all VL6
luminaires.)
Step 3. Using encoders, adjust parameter for new setting.
Step 4. Press [Store] / [Encoder Min/Max Button]. Setting is now stored.
