Beamshape Palettes
The beamshape auto palettes generated by the desk are based on the gobo wheel and
shutter parameters of the fixture in the schedule as follows:
Gobo Wheel(s) – An auto palette for each Gobo present on each gobo wheel in the
fixture. Naming syntax is Gobo 1/1 … Gobo 1/N (first gobo wheel), Gobo 2/1 .. Gobo 2/N
(second gobo wheel etc.
No Gobo – This auto palette sends all the ‘Gobo’ parameters to their default values.
Shutter - Two auto palettes (Shutter Open and Shutter Closed).
Position Palettes
The desk generates a single Home Position palette which sets the Pan and Tilt
parameters to a value of 50%.
Effects Palettes
The desk generates a number of standard effects (see Effects chapter for details).
Absolute Addressing
Pressing the [Absolute Address] key on the Patch screen toggles between normal and
absolute addressing. This allows DMX patch addresses to be specified absolutely in the
range 1 – 2048.
In the Outputs and Channel views the universes are displayed as normal, but the DMX
addresses are replaced by the corresponding absolute addresses:
Normal Addressing Mode Absolute Addressing Mode
Universe 1 – DMX channels 1 - 512 DMX channels 1 – 512
Universe 2 – DMX channels 1 - 512 DMX channels 513 – 1024
Universe 3 – DMX channels 1 - 512 DMX channels 1025 - 1536
Universe 4 – DMX channels 1 - 512 DMX channels 1537 – 2048
