5.2.3 Invert Pan/Tilt
When using moving lights like yokes then depending on the orientation of your
fixture you might want to invert the pan and/or tilt movement. This way you
can make sure that moving ’left’ on your controller in reality also makes the
lights to go ’left’. In case you attach your moving head to a vertical truss you
might want to use the Swap Pan/Tilt option.
5.2.4 Virtual Dimmer
If the fixture has RGB(AW) colour mixing but no DMX channel for intensity
you would need to lower all RGBAW faders identically to reduce the intensity
but to keep the colour. This can be quite awkward. You can enable the Virtual
Dimmer; this option will give the fixture intensity capability separate from the
RGBAW control. The LPU device will calculate the necessary DMX levels
internally.
5.2.5 Sub-Fixtures
Cuety does not support sub-fixtures. We use sub-fixtures in our personality files
when fixtures have multiple ’parts’ like RGB-pixels or dimmer channels. Our
other softwares, Cuelux & CueluxPro, take use of that. In Cuety all personality
modes with sub-fixtures are ignored. The way how to add a fixture with multiple
dimmer channels in Cuety is to add several ’Generic - Dimmer 01x’ fixtures. You
can control multiple-pixel lights by adding several ’Generic – RGB 01x’ fixtures.
5.2.6 Limitation
The Cuety system is designed for entry level lighting control and offers an im-
pressive value for the cost, however, there are some restrictions to the capacity
of the system that limit the control of high-end moving lights.
In Cuety, a fixture can have a maximum of 27 channels. One fixed-colour wheel,
one gobo wheel and one prism wheel is supported. Any additional wheel is not
supported and consequently set at 0.
Alternatively, personality files can be programmed to use any of the two custom
faders for controlling additional wheels. E.g. a second gobo wheel.
If your requirement is to control complex moving lights and you are challenged
by the restrictions of Cuety, then we recommend choosing the Cuelux control
system instead. (For more information, see http://www.visualproductions.
