14. Fixture Personalities - Page 261
TitanUniversal_Man_v10_QU.doc 15 March 2016
The console loads the fixture library into memory when
the Patch option is first used, so after creating a new
personality you need to restart the console software
from the Tools menu or it will not show up.
You can incorporate your custom personality into the standard fixture
library on the console, however there is a danger that it will be
overwritten when you next update the Fixture Library from Avolites.
To avoid this the console provides a special folder for user-provided
personalities located at
D:\Personalities
If you are using the Titan Simulator, the folder is located at
\My Documents\Titan\Personalities
When patching fixtures, this folder is searched first before the library.
If a suitable Fixture Personality is found, the console will use it rather
than using the library. This folder is not affected when the personality
library is updated.
14.1.4 Requesting a new fixture personality
If a personality does not exist for your fixture, Avolites will create one
for you. Click on the “Request” link on the above web page to submit
your request. A list of current requests is shown, so you can check if
someone else is asking for the same thing.
Your new personality will be incorporated into the library – to install
the new personality, download and install the latest personality
library as described above.
14.1.5 Reporting a personality bug to Avolites
If you find a problem with a fixture personality, Avolites would like to
know about it so it can be fixed. Search for the personality on the
website then click on the “Report Bug” icon on the right of the screen.
If you click on the “Bug Reports” tab at the top of the window, a list is
shown of currently outstanding problems, so you can check if
someone else has already reported the problem.
14.1.6 In an emergency
The console contains a selection of “Generic” fixtures which you can
use in an emergency if you need to operate a fixture with no
personality. When patching, go through the manufacturer list until
you find [Generic]. In this section (among other fixtures) are the
following:
Multi-DMX: Has up to 10 DMX channels, all channels are LTP. You can
select from 1-10 channels on the Mode screen. Press Attribute Bank
and use the softkeys to select channels.
Generic RGB: Allows you to control an RGB fixture such as LED colour
changers. This offers 5 modes:
1=Dim 2=R 3=G 4=B
VDim 1=R 2=G 3=B
1=R 2=G 3=B 4=Dim
VDim + 4xRGB
4xRGB.
