Evenly distributing Pan/Tilt between two Focus Palettes (Fan across fixtures?)

Hi!

I’m wondering if Eos can automatically evenly distribute Pan/Tilt across a range of moving heads between two fixed positions.

Example setup:

  • Fixture 1 should light the far left side of the stage (saved as Focus Palette 1)
  • Fixture 6 should light the far right side of the stage (saved as Focus Palette 2)
  • Fixtures 2–5 should be spread evenly between those two positions.

Since I can’t test this at the moment, I’m trying to understand whether Eos can do something like this:

Chan 1 Thru 6 Focus Palette 1 + 2 

In other words:

Does Eos have a way to fan or interpolate Pan/Tilt automatically between two focus palettes, so the fixtures in the middle land at evenly spaced positions?

Or is manual use of the Fan encoder function the correct/only approach?

Any guidance or workflow suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

    Something to add on to this. You explicitly asked how to fan palettes so i didn't mention it. You can obviously fan pan and tilt values across your selection with syntax and the CIA if you're trying to do basic fan in/fan out/x-over looks with specific angles.

    [Chan 1 thru 6 Tilt -45 Pan -45 thru 45 Enter] will get you a basic Fan out look in a pinch.

    This style of Fanning should work with every parameter in Eos and is really powerful in combination with Offset.
