Overview
Each Studio Spot fixture can store and play back up to 16 preset scenes.
Scenes can be played back independently on any fixture without a DMX
controller or up to 32 supported fixtures can be synchronized together
with a data link. Supported fixtures include Studio Spot, Technobeam,
Technopro, Technoray, and future Lightwave Research fixtures.
Understanding Preset Scene Terminology and Concepts
Before you begin using preset scenes, it is important that you read and
understand the following terminology and concepts:
• a scene is a combination of constructs and timing controls.
• a construct is a unique fixture feature—for example, focus, color or
rotating effects.
• a sequence is two or more scenes that continuously repeat (also known
as a loop or a chase). Sequences will continue to play back until you
turn the fixture off or manually stop playback.
• create sequences without skipping a scene. The fixture will
automatically restart the sequence when it encounters the first
unprogrammed scene.
• each value is permanently stored in memory until you change it so you do not
have to 'save' each scene after it is edited.
• if power is removed during playback, when power is reapplied the fixture will
home and begin playback at the first scene. Thus it is not necessary to
manually start playback.
