Fixture
refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a fogger or dimmer which you can control.
Programs
are a bunch of scenes stacked one after the other. They can be programmed as either a single scene or multiple scenes in
sequence.
Scenes
are static snapshots of current channel values
Faders
are slider adjustment controls for various parameters
Chases
can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes stacked one after the other.
Scanner
refers to a lighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror; however, in the controller it can be used to control any DMX-512
compatible device as a generic fixture.
Stand Alone
refers to a fixture’s ability to function independently of an external controller and usually in sync to music, from a built-in
microphone.
Shutter
is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the lights path. It is often used to lessen the intensity of
the light output and to strobe.

3.1.3
Fade Time Assign
You can choose whether the unit's fade time during scene execution is implemented broadly to all output channels or only to the Pan &
Tilt movement channels. This is relevant because often you will want gobos and colors to change quickly while not affecting the
movement of the light.
Action:
1.
Turn the FIXTURE power OFF
2.
Hold the
MODE
and
TAP DISPLAY
buttons simultaneously and switch the power back ON
3.
The FIXTURE is now in Fade Time Assign mode
4.
Pres the
TAP DISPLAY
button to toggle between “ALL CH” and “ONLY X/Y”
5.
ALL CH means that fade time affects all channels
6.
ONLY X/Y means that fade time only affects pan and tilt functions
3.2
Operation
3.2.1
Manual Mode
The manual mode allows direct control of all fixtures. You are able to move them and change attributes by using the channel faders.
