Robe RoboSpot Base Station - MDC Setup Important Notes

28
Important notes for the MDC (Multi Device Control) setup
- If you use the Robin BMFL FollowSpot with a camera, do not switch its lamp o󰀨 and do not close its light
output during the MDC setup.
- If you use the RoboSpot Motion Camera, set the red positioning circle to the centre of the screen before
starting the MDC setup.
- The plane of xture´s hanging and the plane of the stage have to be parallel in relation to each other (this
condition applies to two position points only).
- Calibration points must be on the same level on the stage.
- Both pan inversion and tilt inversion have to be set OFF before starting the MDC setup a MDC operation.
MDC sets inversion automatically, if it is needed.
- Small imprecisions of xture´s hanging in a horizontal plane can signicantly a󰀨ect resulting movement
of the xtures.
- Small imprecisions during MDC setup (calibration points, height) may result in large o󰀨sets and inaccurate
movement of the xtures.
If you use the Robin MegaPointe or the Robin Pointe in MDC, both static and rotating gobo wheels are
blocked (they cannot be controlled by DMX desk) during MDC setup and the follow spot operation.
