Moving Head Control Philosophy

So I have 4 MH;s (all in GRP1).

I want cue 1 to set their individual P&Ts to point to (focus) one area on-stage. Presumably Preset 1 

Then I want the next cue to re-point (change P&T) all of them to a different area. Presumably Preset 2.

What is the easiest. most efficient way to  do this? Would I make a FP for each MH with its unique P&T and plug all FPs into my Preset. And, repeat this for the 2nd Preset?

On some videos I've seen folks using Encoder wheels to position MHs. ELE2 doesn't have any, but I'm sure the underlying Palette / Preset would be the same.

  • The moment you not only touch pan and tilt, but also e.g. Zoom, then a FP is not enough and you will need a preset. But you can easily record this parameters directly into a preset without recording an FP and a BP first and then nesting those into the preset.

    As Todd mentioned: presets try to take all available parameters. That's where command line filtering comes in. To only record the focus and beam category (but not intensity nor color) type Chan 1 Thru 4 Focus Beam Record Preset 1 Enter
