1. The Fixture Library Concept
The consoles Fixture Library is divided into three parts: A System Library, a User Library and the Show Library.
Fixture Types may easily transferred between Libraries. If a fixture type is modified within the Show Library and
those changes should be available for later show files, it makes sense to transfer the fixture from the Show Library to
the User Library.
System Library
The System Library gets replaced with every Software Update. It contains around 6700 Fixtures and is maintained by
Strand Lighting. It is not editable by the user.
User Library
The User Library is fully editable by the user and is not replaced or deleted during software updates. It is stored on the
flash-disk of the console and its fixture types are available to all existing or new shows.
Show Library
The show library resides within the Showfile. Before a fixture can be patched, it needs to be added to the Show
Library. The Show Library is stored within the Showfile and hence will be exported with the Showfile if a backup to
a USB Key is made. Fixtures within the Show Library are not available to other Shows. To make the Fixture Types in
the Show Library available to other shows, they need to be transferred to the User Library first.
2. Screens
The console shows context sensitive screens for each step of the show creation. This way it only shows functionality
you need for a specific task. As an example, the "Cuelist View" Window
necessary to understand and read your cuelist, whereas the "Programmer Window"
show information needed for value entry.
