Controlling Moving Lights
The DMXDart can control a single moving light within the group, as well as the
entire group.
When changing from single mode to group in Moving Light TX, the DMXDart,
regardless of what is being transmitted, synchronizes the attributes of all of the
moving lights in the system. Attributes are moved to the last values set in Group
Mode. Each time the mode is switched from Group to Single, the DMXDart saves
the last levels transmitted to the whole group of fixtures.
When Group Mode is re-selected, the DMXDart reminds the user that the last
group data will be restored, reverting all of the channels that were changed in
single mode.
There is currently no method of re-entering group mode without restoring the
levels.
Operational Tip:
Set all group options first: set color and gobo information for all fixtures in Group
Mode prior to setting each individual fixture’s position, focus etc.
