The Mix Output Menu
Spark
21-2
Two menus are concerned with moving light management: the Mix Output menu and the
Spot Patch menu.
The Mix Output menu provides all the tools for moving device definitions, patching spot
numbers, and assigning output addresses.
The Spot Patch menu allows you to configure for beam movement consistent with
trackball movement.
As mentioned in Chapter 19 System Configuration, the number of spots the system
controls are defined by spot size or the number of DMX channels spot types require. This
configuration appears in the Mix Output menu. Use it as reference when assigning spot
types to spot numbers.
The Mix Output Menu
Menu number 19.
The functions in the Mix Output menu are responsible for moving light management.
Included in this menu are:
• Spot type selection and assignment to spot control numbers.
• Setting up output addresses. Each spot is given a unique address. The local address on
each spot must be identical to the address assigned in the Mix Output menu.
• Defining new devices, or editing existing definitions, including parameter wheel set
up.
• Creating device libraries
Mix Output menu display
The elements in the Mix Output menu display are the Assignment Table, the Device List,
the Device Definition Table, Connector Set Up, and the Parameter Library Reference.
The assignment table
The Assignment Table, on the left side of the screen, shows which types of spots (devices)
are patched to control numbers and spots’ output addresses. The Assignment Table
consists of 3 rows:
• Dev stands for device. The two-letter label of the assigned device appears here.
• Spt is the spot number by which a particular instrument is accessed.
• Out is the DMX address or High End/ S-Mix address output of that particular
instrument.
The device list
The Device List is a list of devices that can be assigned to spot numbers. The Device List
contains 13 devices.
The Device List has three columns.
• The first column is the name of the device.
• The second column is its label.
• The third column shows the number of DMX channels used by the device.
