Chapter 3
Operating the Fixture
Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures can be operated either with a DMX-
compatible controller or with preset programming (using on-board scene memory for
stand alone operation). This chapter provides fixture construct explanations to help
you program your fixture with a DMX controller.
For information on stand alone operation, see "Chapter 5 Preset Programming" on
page 5-1.
Programming Overview
Using a DMX controller, you can program an unlimited number of sequences and
retain direct control over the Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures at all
times. You may choose to save time by programming your fixtures using a controller
and then capturing the scene(s) to the on-board memory of multiple Studio Spot 250
or Studio Color 250 fixtures.
Note:
Because controllers cannot transmit crossfade (XFAD) or delay (DLAY)
construct values, you must use preset programming to manually set
those construct values for each fixture.
You can use either a controller or the fixture's on-board memory to create and play
back scenes, but not both at the same time. In other words, you cannot create a
scene using the on-board memory and play it back using a controller. You also
cannot use a controller at the same time on-board scenes are playing.

The Status Cue
Lighting Console is the DMX controller available from High End
Systems that controls Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures (see "Optional
Accessories" on page intro-8). For more information on whether your DMX
controller will support Studio Spot 250 and Studio Color 250 fixtures, contact the
controller's vendor. For more information on operating your fixture with a controller
(or control device such as DMX control software), consult the documentation
provided with the controller and Appendix A in this manual for DMX channel
assignments and construct parameters.
