Selecting and Editing Scrollers
Selecting and Editing Scrollers
If your system definition includes scrollers, the channel display shows a small 's' next to
the channel number, indicating that this channel is a two parameter channel; one
parameter being intensity and the other the scroller frame number. The scroller frame
numbers are displayed under the channel number and are tracked like spot parameters.
If you have taken advantage of the scroller patch table, scrollers are addressed by the
channel number of the lighting fixture on which they are mounted.
The channel area of the stage display shows the channel and associated scroller
information. Underneath the intensity level, the current frame position of the scroller is
shown.
The color key for scrollers and frame numbers is:
Color
What it means
Dark gray

Red

If no frame value has been assigned to a scroller, the current frame is determined by the
tracking.
Assigning frame values
Frames can be assigned using the numeric keypad or the iris wheel.
When using the numeric keypad:
If the system is configured for at least 10 frames, you must enter frame 1 as 01.
If the system is configured for at least 20 frames, you must enter frame 2 as 02.
If the system is configured for at least 30 frames, you must enter frame 3 as 03.
When moving from frame to frame using the wheel additional symbols are displayed.
