identical fixtures. This is a very handy short-cut when you need to make identical changes
to a group of lights.
To deselect all the faders, click once on the DMXIS logo on the top left.
A NOTE ABOUT CONTEXT SENSITIVE CONTROLS
Most of the remaining controls (XY controller, Channel Invert, Sound Tracker and
Oscillator) are context sensitive - they automatically show the values for the currently
selected faders only. Equally, when you move a context-sensitive control, you change the
value for all selected faders.
The important thing to realise is that every DMX channel (1-512) has its own settings for
XY, Channel Invert, Sound Tracker and Oscillator. That’s a LOT of values! But the context
sensitive mechanism lets you make complex changes to these DMX settings very quickly.
Context-sensitive controls are greyed-out if no faders are selected, or when the multiple
selected faders have different values for that control. For example, if Ch1 Band=Sub and
Ch2 Band=Mid...
Select Ch1: the Band control shows Sub.
Select Ch2: the Band control shows Mid.
Select BOTH channels: Band greys out, indicating that the selected channels
have different values.
Change Band to Hi while both channels are selected. This will change the value
of BOTH Ch1 AND Ch2 to Hi.
XY CONTROLLER
This control is normally disabled. It automatically enables when you
select any channel in a light fixture with Pan/Tilt capabilities (for
example, a scanner or moving head). Simply drag your mouse around
to quickly position the fixture. You can <shift>drag for fine control.
