Compu Live

II Basic programming

Look at your lighting fixtures (whether the real ones or the ones inside the 3D visualizer). You
should see all of them turn on, white color, to 50% pan and tilt (if available). If your fixtures fail this
check, then:
1. You selected the wrong profile (some fixtures have different "modes"). You should go back and find
the appropriate profile.
2. You addressed your fixtures differently than the software (Compu Live addresses similar fixtures
consecutively). Figure out if it is better to re-address fixtures in the software or the real world.
3. The fixture's lamp is not ON, in which case, continue with the setup process, there will be a DMX
command to turn it ON within the Compu Live page.

This screen allows you to limit the maximum Pan and Tilt in your moving heads and scanners
(the wizard will skip this step if your fixtures do not have these properties). Setting limits to pan and tilt
channels can be useful, but we recommend you get familiarized with other controller tools first, and
then decide if setting limits for the fixtures is what you need to create your lighting effects. If it is, you
can always change these limits from the "Page Properties" window (described later in the manual).
