Overview

Overview
Libraries are a programmable tracking database for moving lights of preset position, color,
and gobo assignments. After you have programmed your libraries, you then apply libraries
when programming or modifying memories. Using libraries contributes greatly to editing
speed, allowing you to quickly assign the presets gobo or color to selected spots. Changes
or updates in a library track through all library assignments in memories.
There are 3 different library categories: Position, Color, and Gobo. You can program up to
99 libraries in each category. Any number of spots can be included in a library.
Libraries are spot specific. In other words, you cannot use a library assignment for spot 1
to edit spot 2. It is expedient to program a library including all of the spots that you think
will be used in a certain position.
When using the libraries to program memories, you apply the library to the selected spots
only. Example: You have created a position library with 6 spots that light the soloist. The
lighting state that you are building only requires 2 of the spots. You select the spots and
assign the required library.
The dedicated library keys are:
POSITION
Position libraries 1 - 99 are stored and retrieved the numeric keypad.
Position libraries include x and y.
COLOR Color libraries 1 - 99 are stored and retrieved using the numeric
keypad. Parameters included in the color libraries are: p1, p2, p3, p4,
and p14. Access [COLOR] using the [SHIFT] key.
GOBO
Gobo libraries 1 - 99 are stored and retrieved using the numeric
keypad. Parameters included in the gobo libraries are: p5, p6, p7, p13,
and p15. Access [GOBO] using the [SHIFT] key.
IN LIB
Notify the system that you are storing a library.

Note
You may exclude parameters from libraries in the Mix Output menu/define device (see
Chapter 21 Spot Management and Patching).
