Desk Setup
Adding and Patching Fixtures
Once in Setup, you can patch in your moving lights. Moving Lights need to be set up on the desk as the desk doesn’t
automatically know what you are using.
The following operations may be be performed using the MFKs on the front panel or via the popup windows on the
monitor or a combination of the two methods, as preferred.
You need three pieces of information about your moving lights before you start the process which are:
• The xture manufacturer and model number - these are generally found on the light itself.
• The mode you wish to operate the moving light in. This has to be set on the moving light itself, and match on
the desk – check the user manual of the light for full details.
• The DMX address of the light. This is basically the lights identifying information within your lighting system, and must
be unique for each light you wish to control. Moving lights generally take up a number of channels, sometimes as
many as 30, so consult the moving lights manual before setting the DMX address.
Once you have this information you are ready to set up your xtures…
Selecting a Fixture – Manufacturer, Fixture Type and Mode
Ensure you are in Setup mode, and that the Setup LED is lit.
Now press the [Add Fixtures] MFK.
Select the rst letter of the xture manufacturer (eg M) and then the manufacturer (eg MARTIN) using the MFKs.
The MFKs and monitor then display a list of xture types for that manufacturer. Note that some manufacturers xtures
are spread over multiple pages, and you may need to use the Page function to nd the xtures you are using.
Select the required xture type (eg MAC 500) using the MFKs, and then select the Mode (eg Mode 4).
