Hi!

how to do this.. 4 moving heads move from A to B

4 moving heads. each start at different timing from point A.. but ends at the same time at point B. ( dimmer and position)

and its a memory not chase. i saw this but no idea at all how to do it.

thank you.

For clarity I originally received this as PM. This was my reply:

Hi.

I don't see how this is possible. The only way to achieve is to program a chase carefully but I wouldn't envy you! You can get offset starts by using a shape (and therefore just a memory), but finish time will be offset by the same amount as start and it will repeat.

I think you must be talking about a Diamond 4 and not a Pearl as I can see no way to achieve this with a Pearl. As niclights only operates Pearls he was probably not the best person to contact. Could you confirm which desk you are talking about and I will try and answer your question.

As a general rule in this forum unless otherwise stated, posts are generally assumed to be about the Pearl series of consoles.

Good point! I did automatically assume was a Pearl.

i'm very sure its a pearl, cause i saw it in front of me, maybe he used the shape generator..

thanks guys.

If it was a Pearl then I want to know how it was done now as well.

The only way I can think of doing this would be with a custom shape or timing attributes on the PT in the light.

ok... will try my best to find out. will let you guys know..

till then .. see you guys

This just done by using a pan-saw shape with offset around a central position.

But that would be too simple! I guess I did not figure the problem correctly...

Shapes are repeating.

You misunderstood:

each start at different timing from point A.. but ends at the same time at point B

There is currently no way to do this on a Pearl.
