Chapter 7. Fixture library

The Xciter is delivered with most Martin fixtures already in its library. On top of that, one of the PC

applications called 'library manager' holds a couple of hundred more fixtures from other brands. Later in

this manual you will learn how to put them from the PC library in the Xciter library. The console needs a

fixture library to access the internal control channels (dimmer, shutter, color wheels, gobo wheels, effect

wheels, pan, tilt...) of fixtures. You can also add, remove and edit fixture definitions. If you can find your

fixtures in this library, there is no need for you to create your own profiles. You can proceed straight to the

patch. You can still come back to the library editor to modify the fixture profiles to your own needs.

Example: To put a default value on the focus.

1. Press {Library} in the setup menu.

2. Select a fixture category (Example: moving mirror).

3. Select a manufacturer (Example: Martin).

First you have to select the category and manufacturer subfolders where you want to create your definition.

1. Press [LOAD] to add a fixture definition.

2. Xciter calls the fixture definition editor.

3. Press {Fixture type name} to name the fixture definition.

Use ARROW or SCR1 to move the cursor.

Use NL 1-10 to input numbers and NL 11-19 to input letters (Example: test).

Press [ENT] to confirm, [ESC] to cancel.

4. Press {Channel cnt:} to adjust the number of internal control channels.

Use ARROW or SCR1 to modify the value (Example: 8).

Use [CLEAR] and NL 1-10 to input a new value.

Press [ENT] to confirm, [ESC] to cancel.

5. Press {Channel Config} to configure the internal control channels.
