FAN

So the LD I programming for keeps asking me to mirror the moving lights after they are in position. I.e a fan type scenario. Is there a way to do this?

I.e we have positioned and plotted unit 1 with shutters and colour and other attributes. He then requests that I lay unit 2 on top. The units are of a equal distance on a bar from centre.

I'm doing by CH 1 [Recall From] CH 2 [ENTER] then moving the pan + tilt. Is there a easier way? It's not a beam or focus palette position and is a off the cuff decision by the LD.

Cheers

Sounds like a candidate for the Fan softkey! You select the channels, then {Fan}, then {Mirror} (or any other option). Any encoders you now use will be fanned. Have a play, it should be easy to figure out how the options affect various parameters.

The other approach I've occasionally used if I've already set the first fixture is to type in the second fixture's pan manually. So hold the [data] key to see the exact pan value for the first fixture, then type the opposite of that (ie multiply by -1) into the pan value of the second fixture.
