want to disturb the positioning of fixtures but need to light them up.

Option C and D “Align Fixtures” and “Align <attributes>” are

described in section

3.1.6 on page 128.

Option E “Record group” is used to group fixtures for easy selection as

described in section

3.1.4 on page 127.

Option F allows you to turn the Pearl’s 3D stage tracking mode off or

on. You can also do this from the graphics tablet (see page

180). When

tracking mode is on, the pan and tilt controls set the position on the

stage rather than absolute DMX values. You need to Define the Stage

(see next page) before you can use Tracking.

Option G is used to run “macros” which are used to strike lamps or

reset fixtures, etc. These features often require a sequence of levels to

be sent on different control channels, which the Pearl can do

automatically if the macro is defined in the personality file for the

fixture.

The display will show a list of available macros for the fixtures which

are currently selected. If no macros are available for those fixtures, the

option will not do anything. The Personality File section on page

215

contains details.

On the second page of the ML menu… (press ML Menu again)

Option A “Flip” is described in section

3.1.6 on page 128.

Option B “Calculator” displays a screen on the VDU screen allowing

you to convert numbers from decimal to hex or to binary. This is useful

for working out dip switch settings. You need the VDU connected to use

this function.

Option C “Remove selected fix. from programmer” allows you to

remove from the programmer fixtures which are selected. This can be

useful if you have changed a fixture you didn’t want to include in a

memory – just select the fixture, then use this option.

Option D “De-Select fixtures” deselects all fixtures but does not clear

the programmer.

Option E “Highlight enabled” causes the selected fixture to light up

when stepping through selected fixtures using the sequence buttons or

arrow buttons; other fixtures in the selection go off. If this option is

disabled, the fixtures do not change when they are selected or

deselected.

Option G “Define the stage” lets you teach the Pearl how your lights

are set up so that you can use its 3D tracking mode. This is described

in the next section.

3.2.2 Training the console for Tracking mode

The Pearl can learn the layout of the stage and lights rig you are using.

This enables it to calculate where it needs to point each light so that

they all hit the same place on the stage. This is called Tracking mode

and it is a very powerful feature of the Pearl.

You need to mark a square on the stage, ideally the sides of the square

need to be half the depth of the stage but as long as it’s square and

you can point all the fixtures at the corners, the size is not that

important.

1> Select all the fixtures you want to use for Tracking.
