the tablet Stage area.
If you press the pen on the Nudge pad, the tablet will go into Nudge
mode. Now when you draw on the Stage area of the tablet, all selected
fixtures will move relative to their current positions. This can be useful
if you want to slightly reposition a fixture or a group of fixtures. Press
the pen on the Absolute pad to turn off this mode.
The top right corner of the VDU shows A for Absolute or N for Nudge.
If you have trained the Pearl, which is described on page
131, you can
turn on Tracking mode by pressing the pen on the Track ON pad. When
you press the pen on the stage area of the tablet, all the lights will
point at the same place on the stage. If you draw the stage layout on
the tablet overlay, you can instantly focus the fixtures on a specific
point on the stage just by pressing the pen on the tablet.
9.1.5 Changing colours and other attributes
If the fixture can do colour mixing, you can set the colour by drawing in
the colour control area of the tablet. There is a colour Nudge pad which
allows you to change the colour slightly as for positions. The colour
Absolute pad lets you set up a new colour. The Luminosity bar sets the
brightness of the colour.
You can change individual attributes of selected fixtures by pressing the
pen on to one of the attribute pads, then (without lifting the pen)
drawing up and down on the tablet.
You can also use the fader bar to change attributes, press the pen on
the attribute pad you want to change then draw up and down on the
fader bar.
Press the pen on the Dimmer pad above the fader bar to allocate it to
the dimmer attribute.
There is an Align pad and a Flip pad which allow instant access to the
functions on the console (see page
128).
9.1.6 Recalling palette entries (focuses)
You can recall palettes 1-60 by pressing the pen onto one of the
Focuses pads.
9.1.7 Storing palette entries (focuses)
You can store palette entries from the graphics tablet. The tablet refers
to these as Focuses, which is what they were called in earlier Avolites
consoles.
The buttons above the stage area allow you to edit and save position
palettes. Press the pen on the Recall Focus pad, then press the pen on
a focus pad to select all the fixtures in that palette entry and set the
values. You can move all the fixtures together, or the Step to Next and
Step to Last pads on the tablet will step through the fixtures one at a
time. When you have made the changes, press the pen on the Store
Pan/Tilt pad to store the changes back into the same palette entry.
You can also change other attributes in a palette, but to store changes
other than pan/tilt you use the Store Focus pad on the right hand side
of the tablet.
