Using Groups for Fixture Selection
Groups can used as a shortcut to select several fixtures at once. For example, you may have 10
Fixtures on the back truss and want to quickly access them while recording cues.
The first step is to select the fixtures and record them as a Group. The Group is recalled by entering its
Group number or by pressing its associated Bank Key located above the LCD (for GX models, the
Banks Keys are located in the LCD Touch Screen). See
information.
Groups can be assigned names, such as "MAC500 BACK". The Group names are displayed in the Banks
area at the top of the Base, Auxiliary, and LCD screens.
Procedure:
1. Press [FIXTURE] [1] [THRU] [10] [ENTER].
2. Press [GROUP] [1] [REC].
3. Press [GROUP] [MDFY] [ ] to name Group. Group List Screen opens.
4. Enter Group name, Press [ENTER].
5. Press [EXIT] to close screen.
