hi there i would like to see in the vdu screen, whats happenning inside the memory
i mean whitch gobo or color or pan iris ecc....preset i have inside.
wheve got a chance to see them in single ways ,but not all together why its so usefull having a cue list of all parameters!
another thing is that im building my own personality in the data sheet directly assigning also the wheel number ecc,,, but if i press the focus button and select options, and select all my different spots as all, why doesnt that parameter( ex pan and tilt ) afect all the spots ? just to be clear the pan tilt stuff is all the same also if the fixtures are different (pftable "pos" 28 1 3)
("mid" 50 hex hex )
can you please explain what -1 means,witch is the diffrence from my ex or this one!
(pftable "pos" -1 1 3)
("mid" -1 hex hex)
thanks a lot !

I'm having difficulty understanding, but a few suggestions:

View can be used with Playback Add and with Palette (Preset) Add to view contents. There is also 'Stage Fixtures' from the VDU views menu. Use this to see current values by fixture. Scroll through fixtures using left/right cursor keys.

If you have values stored for more than one fixture of a particular type within a palette, then the values recalled will be specific to the fixtures selected. For 'Shared Palettes' to work you should only define a value for the first fixture of that type. Is that what you meant? (see edit...)

-1 means that the palette is not assigned to a button. This instead allows you to define tables in addition to the 200 palettes. An example would be to define a set of colours for fixtures using colour mixing. For any fixtures that have data defined in this way the LCD will automatically switch to 'attributes and fixtures' view when you select the relevant attribute. The values can then be selected by wheel (you can avoid selecting inbetween values by holding [shift])
These table values are also accessible from Program/Softbutton E.

HTH. I'm not sure my post makes any sense either!


/Edit: Ahh. Now I re-read your post. Palette(Focus)/Options/Fixture type is currently only designed to allow different legending IIRC. It does not have any affect on the actual fixtures used. For example you could have colour defined for two fixtures within a palette. For this you could set three legends - ALL, Fixture 1 and Fixture 2. However, both fixture 1 and fixture 2 will recall regardless of which 'Fixture Type' is selected.
When testing I remember this being an issue, but so was time! I do think that 'Fixture Type' should filter the palettes being recalled. Hopefully this may be changed in future versions

i ntended this for a new view
cue 1 dim shut pan tilt color zoom prism yellow magenta cyan ecc.....
sroll spot 255 pf 1 pf 3 pf 6 pf2 pf10 pf8 ecc...................................
so when iscroll through the spots i can see the difrent presets for each spot maybe it would be nice to have cue timing also wich shapes ar running for that spot .
exscuse my bad english please.

[Olie]

Is this not the same as View Programmer?

[giancarlo]

but when i use the programer i have to select the spots and include the memory ,
i was saying when im in run normal i would like to see whats happening in that cue and whats inside.
maybe im wrong or im missing somthing if i can see that thing only in one page without using include can you please explain me how to do it!
onother question its an old one ,do ive got a chance to mirror a shape all in one time ?
without creating to diffrent shapes and then including them to one playback?
thank you very much!

[Olie]

What about [View] and then selecting the playback swop, is that what you want?

The question about mirroring a shape is dealt with in another thread.

[giancarlo]

no the thing is to see not only dimm and spots but every preset for each parameter of every sigle spot in that cue.
dimm (full) color(red) gobo(stars) shutt(strobes) prism(open) pan tilt (home) focus (lfar) zoom(large) cue numb 1 and naturaly each time i scroll to diffrent spots in that cue i see whats happening for that spot.
thankyou the same way!
