5.13 Copying dimmers and heads

Dimmers and Heads can be copied - this has the effect of cloning the programmed Head. This is

particularly useful when modifying a pre-programmed show to add extra heads or dimmers. When they

are copied, all the programming associated with the copied Heads is expanded to include the new

Heads.

For example, if you have a show programmed with 4 MAC500s and you want to add 4 more MAC500s,

then you can clone the 4 programmed MAC500s. All the Cues, Cue Stacks, Groups and Palettes that

have the original 4 MAC500s will now have the additional 4 MAC500s as well.

By cloning heads in this way you have a quick and easy approach to expanding your show. You can

then programme some new Cues and Cue Stacks that use the new and old heads individually.

It is also possible to patch new heads into a show and then copy programming from other heads to the

new heads. To copy programmed data from one head to another press the COPY HEAD PRG soft

button in VIEW HEADS, then select the source head, followed by the destination head. All the Cues,

Cue Stacks, Groups and Palettes that contain the source head will be updated to include the destination

head.

5.14 Morphing heads

It is possible to morph one head type into another head type. The system will copy the programming

from the old head type to the new head type. The system takes into account the different pan and tilt

ranges of the heads when copying pan and tilt data.

As no two heads are exactly the same, the programming will be unlikely to create exactly the same

looks as with the original heads. A closer representation will be obtained by morphing a spot into a

spot as opposed to a spot into a wash light.

If the new head types have more channels than the original head types then you must first move the

heads so that there is enough free channels after the head to morph the head into the new head type (see

Changing the DMX channels of heads and dimmers).

In the Patch Window, choose the new head type, then move the cursor to the head to change or select a

block of heads using SHIFT and the cursor keys. Press the MORPH HEAD soft button and confirm

that the action is what is required.

After morphing heads your groups, palettes, and cues will be updated to reflect the new head types.
