The Fixture sub-tab provides options for

selecting or changing fixture movement,

dimming the mechanical iris, and controlling the

LCD display black level and orientation.

Set the Pan Invert option On to invert the

direction of the pan motor. Use this option to

coordinate movements between fixtures facing

each other in a horizontal orientation. Off is the

default setting.

Setting the Tilt Invert field to On inverts the direction of the tilt motor. Use this option to

coordinate movements between fixtures facing each other in a vertical orientation. Off is the

default setting.

Setting Pan Tilt Swap field to On swaps the pan and tilt motor operation to coordinate

movements between fixtures mounted perpendicular to each other. Off is the default setting.

The Dimmer Iris closes when it stops receiving DMX data for a designated time interval. Use the

Data Loss Timeout Iris field to set the DMX data loss time interval as Long (5 minutes) or

Short (5 seconds). Short is the default setting.

After 10 minutes of no data, the fixture will shut down the projector and the motion functions.

Fans remain on to maintain the temperature control for the internal graphics engine.

The Display field lets you adjust the black level of the Menu display with the following options:

•On is the factory default.

•Preview displays the most recent media change of any Graphic function, when opacity > 0.

The Menu screen displays content in both partial and full screen. The Preview function can be

enabled from the menu system, the CMA, as well as remotely via DMX.

— When Preview is enabled, a partial, full color video is shown on the LCD display along with

the folder, file, and DMX information. If there is no change of content on any Graphic

Function it will automatically switch to full screen mode within 12 seconds.

— The Preview function always shows the latest selected content without any modification of

effects. Preview mode displays movies and still images only. S-video and internal camera

input will not be displayed in the Preview mode.

— The Preview function uses substantial memory and should be turned off when rendering all

three Graphic Object options to ensure high quality playback.
