New DL-2 user, couple of questions

I've got a show coming up where I will be using 3 or 4 DL-2 fixtures, which I have not programmed before. I will be using an iPC running Hog 3 software to do this. I've been working my way through the manual, but I have a few questions I can't seem to get a clear answer on in the manual (might have just missed them).

- the console treats 1 DL-2 as 3 seperate fixtures. The fixture only appears to accept one start address. Is this correct, or is there a DMX start address in fixture menu for each 'console fixture', ie a global start address, motion address, and graphic addresses?

- Can I use the VGA input as an one of the 3 object layers?

Thanks!

  • Ok, so do you have any suggestions for what I'm hoping to do:

    This is for a cooperate event where we are wanting to shoot content at various times from a computer running PowerPoint onto a screen that has a nonstandard aspect ratio. I need to mask the image down so that it fits this screen, but I would rather not scale it down to S-Video to do this and not upload all of the slides (so the presenter could still have control) to the DL-2s. I realize that I could mask each slide within PP to fit what I'm trying to do, but I still would need to have keystoning.
