Mirror Moving Lights

Is there a way to Mirror ML fixtures with EOS?   If I have a light setup SL with shutters and want another light to mirror for SR. How does one go about doing that?  I asked another venue who has the same system and they could not figure it out either.  I don't think it is the Fan feature, as I need to mirror the fixture once it has been fully setup.

  • 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...
