5.2 Inuence of the RoboSpot on the xture channels
The general rule (with a few exceptions described in the table below) is the RoboSpot controls mapped
channels (functions) on jog-wheels or faders in range which allows the FollowSpot Controller (see the chapter
6.1 Menu Functions Mapping).
Non-mapped channels (functions) are subject to full control of a desk except:
Colour channels (CMY+CTO and RGB(W)+CTO) if Colour Buttons are active.
Zoom/focus in Multi Device Control if the function Auto Zoom/Foc. is on.
Pan/tilt.
Pan/tilt speed (use the Track slider in the Slider menu on the screen to set desired pan/tilt speed).
Behaviour of the shutter channel:
Closed shutter on the desk closes light output on a xture connected to the RoboSpot.
Open shutter on the desk - light output of the connected xture can be closed by the BlackOut button
on the FollowSpot controller.
Table of behaviour of some mapped channels (functions) on the RoboSpot (if the RoboSpot control is fully
enabled-see the following page).

Behaviour of channel Comment
Single Device Control Multi Device Control (MDC)
Dimmer Jog-wheel or fader* of the RoboSpot
controls a light intensity from 0% to
the value set at desk.
Examples:
To get max. light intensity, set desk
dimmer =100% and the RoboSpot
fader=100%.
The same as at Single Device Control Exception: the RoboSpot takes
full control over dimmer during
the process "Setup MDC" (menu
"Multi. Dev. Control").
Zoom, Focus Jog-wheels or faders* allow full
control in range of 0-100%.
1. Auto Zoom/Foc.= O
The same as at Single Device Control.
2. Auto Zoom/Foc.= On
MDC takes control over zoom and focus
regardless of it if they are mapped on
jog-wheels or faders or not.
If zoom and focus are mapped - osets
set on jog-wheels or faders are added to
automatically calculated values.
If zoom and focus are not mapped -
automatically calculated values are
used (osets on jog-wheels or faders
are set to 0).
Auto Zoom/Foc. is the function in
the menu "Multi. Dev. Control".
* depends on functions mapping to the control elements of the RoboSpot.
