CHAPTER NINE
9. Advanced features
Hopefully, by working through this tutorial manual, you now know how to
set up the Azure, control fixtures with it, save memories, chases and
environments and use them in a show.
We have tried to stick to the basics, but the Azure can do many more
things than we have told you so far. The reference manual expands on all
the information in the previous chapters. There’s also some subjects we
have not touched on yet, and these are described in the reference manual.
Just so you know, they are:
?? User Preferences - Some console options you can change
?? Setting the real time clock
?? Disk functions - there are a few more things you can do with the disk
drive
?? Tracking - You can train the Azure so it knows how the fixtures are
positioned relative to the stage. You can then point all the fixtures at
one part of the stage by clicking on the graphics tablet (or by using the
wheels, if you don’t have a graphics tablet). Training is described in
Chapter 3 of the reference manual and use of the graphics tablet in
tracking mode is described in Chapter 8.
?? MIDI - The Azure has a very comprehensive MIDI control system
?? Use of the optional Stage Remote control
?? Script files - You can tell the Azure how to run a show from a list of
instructions which you can enter or record in real time. This is
described in chapter 7 of the reference manual.
?? Changing the operating system - From time to time Avolites release a
new version of operating software, which you can load into the Azure
?? Personality files - if the Azure doesn’t have a personality file for your
fixture you can write your own. These are described in chapter 11 of
the reference manual.
?? Resetting the PIN codes and other devious hardware tricks
