PRESETS
Overview
The Preset palette is used to store specific luminaire parameters for the purpose of building cues. Typically, a Preset
will contain focus (pan/tilt) information only, but with the Vx76 consoles any desired parameter (including timing) can
be stored in a Preset as determined by the filter settings. The touchscreen display is used to control the filters (refer to
"Function Filter" on page 115).
Since focus is a large part of the Preset feature, no standard pre-programmed Presets are available. These will need
to be stored in relation to the specific requirements of your show.
Features
The most important feature of Presets is that they are referenced by cues. This feature provides a way of saving time
during the initial programming of a show and for updating focuses or other parameters throughout all of your cues if
something on stage changes. For example, a Preset may be stored as a focus reference cue in which only pan and tilt
parameters are specified. These could be labeled
Center , Main Stage , Band , etc. When you use a Preset to build a
cue, the Preset information is linked directly to that cue. If a refocus is required, the appropriate Preset could be
changed and all the cues built using it would automatically reflect the change.
Preset Cue Referencing
In order to prevent unintentional results, the following will apply to Presets which have referenced cues.
+ If cues are referenced in a Preset, the Preset cannot be deleted, but it can be moved or copied.
+ If cues are referenced in a Preset, the cue reference can be replaced with hard data using the syntax [-] [Preset] [#]
[Enter].
