Mirror Moving Lights

If you always plan on mirroring the fixture, you could set them up to the same address, and turn on pan or tilt flip on the fixture menu.  Or, you could setup two movers on different addresses and channels, and flip one fixture inside of the patch screen.

The second option gives you the option of independent control if needed

setting them to different addresses and inverting would solve a part of the challenge but introduce new ones as for one of the two fixtures, panning wouldn't behave in the same direction as the encoder anymore.

i guess brendan is looking for something like Chan 1 Pan copyTo Chan 2 {Mirror} Enter (which doesn't exist afaik). but the real challenge starts when you also want to do that do the framing as the console would need to know which frames are opposite each other and which of the four are the lateral ones (as you only want to mirror these but not the top and bottom one).

so: i don't have a solution for this either but would love one...

Yes I really need a feature like this.  I do not always need to mirror, so changing how the mover works is not want I need.   The issues comes about when you have a set;  The LD will shutter to a wall/prosc Stage Left and then ask for another fixture to mirror the wall/prosc on stage right.  There should be a button just to allow you to mirror the attributes when you recall from another fixture.

It is possible to do something like this:

x {Focus} [Recall from] y [Enter]

x {Pan} @ / -100 [Enter]

I am not sure how to go about implementing mirroring about some arbitrary axis in 3 dimensional space for some arbitrary number of instruments with random orientations and mixed patching, but building up a set of macros to invert Pan and Tilt values would be fairly easy.

Karl, thank you so much! @/-100 is exactly what I was looking for? My problem is solved, the macro has been written.

Hello,

is there a solution for the framming eight years later.

[x] [Recal from] [y] [Enter]

[x] {Pan} [At] [/] [-] [100] [Enter]

To change left and right frame… Something like that. I can´t try it at the moment…

[x] {Frame thrust B} [Recal from] [y] {Frame thrust D} [Enter]

[x] {Frame angel B} [Recal from] [y] {Frame angel D} [Enter]

[x] {Frame thrust D} [Recal from] [y] {Frame thrust B} [Enter]

[x] {Frame angel D} [Recal from] [y] {Frame angel B} [Enter]

The last part:

[x] {Frame angel A} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel B} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel C} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel C} [At] [/] [-] [100] [Enter]

If there is a solution for it, how could I make a macro with x and y?

Big Thanks

Hallo, 

I did this.

y is the first light and x is the light you want to mirror

In Live mode type

y (enter)

x (enter)

[x] recal from [y]

(lights are now in the same position)

then you run the macro

Select_last record groop 5000 enter enter

Select_last Select_last record groop 5001 enter enter

clear cmd line enter

[groop 5000] {Pan} [At] [/] [-] [100] [Enter]

[groop 5000] {Frame thrust B} [Recal from] [groop 5001] {Frame thrust D} [Enter]

[groop 5000] {Frame angel B} [Recal from] [groop 5001] {Frame angel D} [Enter]

[groop 5000] {Frame thrust D} [Recal from] [groop 5001] {Frame thrust B} [Enter]

[groop 5000] {Frame angel D} [Recal from] [groop 5001] {Frame angel B} [Enter]

The last part:

[groop 5000] {Frame angel A} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel B} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel C} [At] [/] [-] [100]+ {Frame angel C} [At] [/] [-] [100]

+(mayby) Frame_Assembly @/-100)  [Enter]

Delite groop 5000+5001  [Enter] [Enter]

clear cmd line enter

Hope I help. Sorry for my English
