CHAPTER THREE

3. Controlling dimmers and fixtures

In this chapter: how to control dimmers and fixtures manually.

• controlling fixtures and dimmers

• changing attributes

• using and creating groups

• align and fan functions

• viewing the console output

Having patched all the dimmers and fixtures you want to use, you are

ready to start operating them. This chapter explains how you do this.

To manually control fixtures and dimmers, you need to be in Program

mode, so ensure the key is set to Program. There’s also a special Run

mode which lets you “take over” fixtures during a show, which is

described later.

3.1 Controlling dimmer channels

Controlling dimmer channels is simple – you just push up the fader of

the handle where the dimmer is patched. Dimmers work just like a

normal “preset” lighting desk on the Pearl. If you want to turn on lots of

dimmer channels at the same time, you can also “select” the dimmers

and use the Dimmer attribute button and control wheels as described

below.

3.2 Controlling fixtures

Controlling fixtures is nearly as simple, except there are a few more

functions to control than just intensity.

The first thing you have to do is to “select” the fixtures that you want

to control. The Pearl then knows that any changes you make are only

to be sent to these fixtures. You can select fixtures individually, or

several at once.

Selecting fixtures or dimmers

 Press the Swop buttons for the fixtures you want to control. (For

dimmers and fixtures on the top bank of faders, hold down the AVO

button and press the Swop buttons below the faders you want)

 The Swop button LEDs will light for the fixtures which are selected.

They are shown in dark blue on the VDU screen.

 If you select a fixture you don't want, press its Swop button again

to deselect it.

 You can select a range of fixtures by holding down the Swop button

for the first fixture in the range, then pressing the Swop button for

the last fixture.

 Press the red Locate button (bottom right corner) to position the

selected fixtures at a central position with the light on, so you can

see where they are. Dimmer channels are set to 100%.

You can change the fixture page, if you need to, by pressing one of the

other Fixture Page buttons.
