3.3.3 Transforming memories to a new stage

Transforming stage mode data:
All movement positions which are stored as presets, memories or scenes, are
automatically adapted to a new stage setup, as soon as the movement
initialization is done. Therefore it is important to have the first movement
initialization done before any program is stored. If the programs had been
done on the basic of an exact initialization, no further adjustments are
necessary. The same initialization is necessary, if the mounting position or
height of a scan has been changed.
Preset positions can also be adjusted, if the point they have to hit on stage,
has moved. If, for example, the position of the keyboard player has moved,
only the preset "KEYB." has to be adjusted, and any memory, chaser or
sequence step, which was programmed to meet the keyboard, will recall the
right position.
Transforming direct DMX mode data:
If programs are stored on direct DMX mode the easiest way is to adjust the
lamp position as exact as possible.
Otherwise all programs, which are based on preset positions can be trans-
formed by simply adjusting the 44 preset positions. Stage pictures, which are
not based on presets, have to be tested and adjusted one by one.
