Note
Notes can be used to create a note(s) for a fixture, such as its location or intended use.
Notes can also be used when auto-generating palettes to quickly create groups based on
notes.
To add a note to a fixture:
1. Open + Fixtu re
2. Select the fixture's Note cell.
3. Set [ t e x t o f n o t e ] Enter : Type in the note text.
Tip: Fixture notes can be displayed in editors such as the Programmer, but this is turned off
by default. To display notes, right click on any column header in the editor, and select
Note.
Patch Note
Patch Notes can be used to attach a comment to a fixture regarding its patching.
To add a Patch Note:
1. Open + Fixtu re
2. Select the fixture's Patch Note cell.
3. Set [ t e x t o f n o t e ] Enter : Type in the note text.
IP Address
The IP address column displays the fixture's IP address which is currently used for CITP and
Video Patch records. The IP address column is read-only and is hashed out for fixtures that
are not CITP capable or video patch capable.
Preview Package
When the "show details" button is enabled at the top of the Fixture window a column labeled
Preview Package will appear. The preview package column allows the user to view /
modify the selected preview package for a fixture. This is useful when there is a need to
switch a fixture between a cached CITP preview package, a customized preview package,
and/or the default library preview package for that fixture type.
Icon
When the "show details" button is enabled at the top of the Fixture window a column labeled
Icon will appear. The icon column allows the user to view / modify the icon assigned to the
fixture. Icons are used to represent the fixture when it is added to plots. Some fixtures in the
fixture library already have an icon pre-defined for their fixture type when scheduled but can
be customized by the user once scheduled.
Size
When the "show details" button is enabled at the top of the Fixture window a column labeled
Size will appear. The size column allows the user to view / modify the fixture's icon size.
This is most useful when adding the fixture to plots.
Colour
When the "show details" button is enabled at the top of the Fixture window a column labeled
Colour will appear. The colour column allows the user to view / modify the colour assigned to
a fixture. Colour coding a fixture can help to make it easier to identify in the plot window.
