Multiple fixture types, one show

I am starting to program a tour involving spot and wash movers, and lekos and pars. Unfortunalty I will not be touring a lighting rig, and will be getting whatever kind of automation that the locals can provide.We will be bringing an iPC with us to four different countries.


I am hoping that someone could advise a good setup to minimize reprogramming the entire show in each city. We have spec'd Mac2ks and studio colours or VL2500 spot and washes, but I expect that we will run into more than that :dunno:.

Please help! :confused:

    Thanks for the quick reply. I do run in 3 mode, and will stick with CMY. As for the gobos, I've used the change type function once, and that is indeed the biggest problem. I didn't notice replicate fixtures before. That would have made life easier the last fixture-du-jour show I did.....

    I was thinking of pre-adding a list of potential fixtures into the show, and then referencing the default gobo beam pallets to custom beam pallets that I will program into the cues. Is this a dumb idea and too much extra work for no gain? Or will it potentially save time on load in days where everything is messed up?

    Thanks again!
