You can then decide to setup several zones (areas). Zones are very important for a multi-room installation in
order to be able to play a different scene for each zone.
All fixtures are assigned to the “global area” by default. This zone can play a sequence for all fixtures and
cannot be removed.
As an example, we can create 2 zones (Room 1 and Room 2). From the “Areas” window, click on the left-side
button “+” to add a new zone. Click on the “Rename” button from the toolbar to call it “Room 1” and repeat the
operation for the second zone.
You will then have to click on the “Areas patch” button from the toolbar to assign your fixtures. Remember
they are all assigned to the “Global area” and cannot be removed from it.
You can assign your DMX devices to an area within the Areas tab or the Fixtures tab.
Using the Areas tab, simply select the area on the left (1) then select the devices you wish to include within the
area (2).
