Chapter 4 Programming Libraries
This chapter includes:
About libraries (see page 57)
Libraries are organized by the F, C, and B (Focus, Color, and Beam) banks. Dlite supports up
to 72 libraries of each library type. (see page 57)
Using libraries to program scenes, steps, and cues (see page 63)
About libraries
Libraries are a user defined data base of frequently used color settings, repeated positions, or
frequently used gobos and gobo combinations.
Libraries are organized by the F, C, and B (Focus, Color, and Beam) banks. Dlite supports up to 72
libraries of each library type.
It is recommended to use libraries when programming lighting looks. Updating focus libraries
globally updates scenes, chase steps, and cues that reference that library. Extensive use of libraries
makes programming more efficient and maintaining the show’s integrity easier.
The benefits of using libraries when programming lighting looks are:
If you have moved to a new venue, you need only update F(ocus) libraries to get the positions
on their marks.
If you have used CMY values to create unique colors, storing them as color libraries assures
that they are accurately reproduced each time.
Libraries can be used for setting base levels when programming effects.
Dlite automatically generates color libraries 61 through 75 and 80:
61 - Yellow 66 - Cyan 71 - CTO 80 - Color Spin
62 - Orange 67 - Blue 72 - CTB
63 - Red 68 - Congo Blue 73 - UV
64 - Pink 69 - Aqua 74 - Purple
65 - Magenta 70 - Green 75 - Open White
