DESCRIPTION
Changes the beam shape (gobo, frost, zoom etc) in a moving
light fixture.
A sequence of steps containing different levels for intensity,
colour, beam, etc, plus speed, direction, fade in/out and rate.
Changes the colour in a moving light fixture or scroller.
Button used to turn off all intensity channels.
A user-defined group of memories, chases and stacks.
General term for moving yoke and moving mirror intelligent
lights.
Page freeze holds memories and chases that have their fader
above zero when new pages or files are loaded.
A lighting channel parameter typically used to describe
intensity (eg. dimmer channels).
A list of fixtures from different manufacturers, each with
their associated channel parameters, in a text file on floppy
disk. Required to enable patching of fixtures.
A lighting channel parameter typically used to describe
colour, beam, or position.
Masking allows only desired parameters to be re-played.
Settings for Intensity, Colour Beam etc that can be recalled

A factory-defined group of memories and chases.
A group of different settings of the same parameter, eg. each
button within a palette might store a different colour,
different beam, different position, different fixture, etc.
Assign faders, fixture & scroller to DMX channels.
Changes the lamp's position (focus) on a moving light
fixture. Pan (horiz.) and Tilt (vert.).
Some lamp filaments may need to be preheated (typically 2-
3%) to avoid nuisance tripping of dimmer breakers when
flashing channels to full.
A lamp with a motorised colour gel attached to the front.
A sequence of memories and chases that can be automated
to crossfade from one memory or chase to the next.
