170 Hog 4 Operations Manual
Copy Options
By default, when you copy parameter values from one fixture to another, the console will
copy exactly the data from one fixture to another, including any palette references. You can
optionally have the hard values from within the referenced palette copied to the destination
instead of the palette references:
1. Fixture 1 : select the fixture you want to copy.
2. Co py
3. Deselect the Allow Re fs button on the copy toolbar.
4. 8 : select the fixture to copy to.
5. Ente r : copies the parameters of Fixture 1 to Fixture 8, converting any palette
references to hard values.
Tip: You can copy a fixture to itself with Allow Refs deselected to convert palette
references to hard values.
6.3.9 Restoring Default Values
You can reset parameter values to their default settings by using the . (point) key or Pig + .
keys as a modifier. Default values for parameters can be set in the Edit Fixtures window.
When using the . key as a modifier, modes such as gobo rotate will be restored to default
value but the current mode will remain (gobo rotate). When using the Pig + . keys as a
modifier, modes such as gobo rotate will be restored to default value and default mode
(index).
To restore the default value for a single parameter of the current selection:
Press and hold the . key or Pig + . keys and turn the appropriate parameter wheel.
To restore the default values of a parameter kind for the current selection:
Press and hold the . key or Pig + . keys and press the appropriate kind key.
To restore the default values for all parameters of the current selection:
Press and hold the . key or Pig + . keys and press the Fixture key.
6.4 Fanning
Fanning allows you to assign a parameter across several fixtures, so that the parameter
values are equally spaced. For example, if you have five fixtures all at 50% intensity, you can
use fanning easily to assign intensities of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70% across five fixtures. Note
that in this example, the middle value of the five stays the same, and the end values change
the most, while the other values change proportionally.
You can fan any values including parameters and timings. For example, you can use fanning
with position: suppose that you have seven moving lights on an upstage position, all pointing
downstage towards the audience. You could fan the Pan parameters so that the centre fixture
still points downstage, and the others turn progressively out to stage left and right.
The fixture selection order is significant when fanning; see Selection Order. The value
change when fanning is always relative to its current value; if there is no current value the
parameter will fan from its default value.
Tip: Choosing the initial, or ‘base’, value is important when fanning, as the parameter
values cannot go below 0% or above 100%. Make sure that you leave enough of the value
range for the value to fan into.
