3.6 Fan mode
Fan mode automatically spreads out a selected range of fixtures to
produce a fan of light beams, like rays of sunlight. The first and last
fixtures of the range are affected most, and the central fixtures are
affected least. The amount of fan can be set using the wheels.
Note: The order in which you select the fixtures sets how the fan effect
works. The fixtures you select first and last will be the ones
which change most.
The fan effect, while normally used on pan or tilt attributes, can be
applied to any attribute.
Fanning out a range of fixtures
Select the range of fixtures you want to fan
Select the attribute to fan (pan, tilt, colour etc)
Press the Fan button (one of the blue command buttons)
Set the amount of fan using the wheels
The display shows which attribute is being controlled by each wheel
Press the Fan button again to exit Fan mode when you’ve finished
You will be able to see the effect of fan mode best if you have a row of
at least 4 fixtures. If you have an odd number of fixtures, the central
fixture will not move in fan mode.
Remember to turn off Fan mode when you have finished (by pressing
the Fan button again), or you will get confused when the controls don’t
do what you expect.
3.7 Examples
How do I fade up the dimmer on handles 31-36?
Just push up the faders 31-36 (make sure the Grand Master and A/B
Master faders are up)
How do I make the mac 600 on handle 10 go blue and point at
the cyclorama?
Select the fixture by pressing Swop button 10. Press Locate (bottom
right of the console) to turn on the mac600 and centre it. Press the
“Cyan/Magenta” attribute button. Turn the A wheel anticlockwise to
make the amount of Cyan change (you can turn B wheel anticlockwise
to make the Magenta change which will give a darker blue). Press the
“Tilt-Pan” attribute button. Turn the A and B wheels (the mac600
should move) until it points in the direction you want.
