Step 1 – Building Scenes.
The control will store a maximum of 250 scenes. These scenes are then used to create the
programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene
can only be access when it is stored in a “Program.” If you wish to build a static scene (a
scene consisting of no movement) for a logo or gobo projection, the scene must be stored
inside a program. To build a scene follow the instructions below:
• Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8.
• Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Edit Scenes,” menu function 8-3.
• When you get to the “Edit Scenes” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will
then change to Edit Scene 001, this will be menu function 8-3-1. You can then press
the “ENTER” button to begin to edit scene 1 or use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to
toggle to access scenes 2-250.
• Once in the scene edit screen you have access to the functions listed below.
Tapping the “ENTER” button will instantly allow you to change the values of the
selected function in real time. The values can be adjusted from 0~250. Once you
achieved your desired value tap the “ENTER” button once again to automatically
