Using Position Presets
The controller has a time-saving feature called position preset
(also called position memory or preset positioning). Position
presets allow one page to refer to another page for pan and tilt
(position) information.
You first move the beam to the desired location using the
joystick, then assign that position to a preset number (from 1
to 99). You can recall the same position preset in other
pages. If you later change the position preset, all other pages
referencing that preset are automatically changed,
eliminating the need to reprogram the pages individually.
Memory 9 is designated as “position memory.” You can
program all 99 pages as position presets, and you can still use
all pages in memory 9 not reserved for position presets for
page programming.
The following is a typical example of position presets: your
show is programmed for a specific focus—the lead singer is
downstage center, the drummer is upstage center, and the
keyboard player is stage left. Memory 9, page 1 is
programmed with all fixtures directed at the lead singer
(downstage center). This is position preset 1. You use
position preset 2 (memory 9, page 2) with all fixtures directed
at the drummer and position preset 3 for the keyboard player.
If you want to use position preset 1 (lead singer, downstage
center) on memory 1, page 1, press the
<POS> construct key
and then use the Cursor <Up> and <Down> arrow keys to
select
-;:+
.
As you move from venue to venue, your stage layout changes
slightly. So for example if the singer’s focus at upstage
center is 6 feet to the right of the last venue, you would
change position preset 1 (memory 9, page 1). Do the same
for the other band members, if necessary. No other
programming is necessary.
