7. Relative Shapes and Absolute Shapes

Some shapes will operate on the current settings of the fixture; a circle shape, for example, will be
centered around the current pan and tilt positions of the fixture. This is called a relative shape. If you
change the pan and tilt of the fixture, the whole shape will be moved.
 All Position (pan/tilt) shapes, and other shapes with "User" or "Usr" in the name, are Relative shapes.
Other shapes always operate about a fixed value; a rainbow shape, for example, is centered at the
midpoint of the color mix attributes so that a full range of colors is obtained. This is called an absolute
shape. The current settings of the fixture are overridden by the shape.
Non-position shapes (color, gobo, focus, dimmer, iris) are usually absolute shapes, unless they have

"User" or "Usr" in the name. For example, "Magenta Even" is an absolute shape centered on 50%
magenta, but "Magenta Even Usr" is a relative shape which will change around the current
Magenta value of the fixture.
If you run a scene containing a shape, when you turn the scene off, the shape will stop. The final state of
the shape will be left as an offset to the fixture settings. Option E of the Playback Parameters (see below)
allows you to remove this offset when the shape stops and return the fixture to its programmed settings.

8. Playback Parameters

This option lets you set parameters for a shape stored in a playback/scene. When a scene fades in, you
can determine whether the shape should start at full size and speed instantly, (Static) or whether the
shape speed and/or size should fade in as well (Timed).
01) In Shape menu, Press <E> [Playback Parameters].
02) Press the playback button of the playback which you want to set parameters for.
03) <A> set the size to Static or Timed.
04) <B> set the speed to Static or Timed.
05) <C> allows you to remove the offset caused by a shape when it is stopped. When you turn off a
scene with a shape, the fixtures will be offset by the last state of the shape. Setting this option to
"Removed" causes the fixture to return to its programmed settings. Setting this option to "Remains"
leaves the shape offset in place.
