2.4 Advanced options
2.4.1 Patch Utilities
The Pearl allows several options to be set for each fixture or dimmer
when it is being patched. The Patch Options menu is accessed by
pressing F [Patch Utilities] while you are in patch mode. Set the options
before you start programming, because memories will play back
differently when the options are on.
The options are:
A: Invert - Allows you to invert an attribute of a fixture, so when you
set zero the output will be full. You cannot invert some attributes.
1> Select the fixtures you want to invert and turn them on so you
can see their output state
2> Select the attribute you want to invert by pressing the Attribute
Select button (some can’t be changed)
3> Press Softkey E or F to invert the attributes shown (the VDU
screen shows the inversion settings)
4> Repeat from 2 if you want to invert more attributes, or 1 if you
want to change other fixtures.
5> Press Exit to leave Invert mode as soon as you’ve finished, it is
easy to accidentally invert fixtures if you leave this mode active
B: Set/Reset Instant mode - When the Pearl fades LTP (movement)
channels between two memories, the LTP values normally change
smoothly. You can set Instant mode to make the channel snap instantly
to the new value.
1> Select the fixtures you want to change
2> Select the attribute you want to change (some can’t be changed)
3> Press Softkey E or F once to change the attributes shown (the
VDU screen shows the settings)
4> Repeat from 2 if you want to change more attributes, or 1 if you
want to change other fixtures.
5> Press Exit to leave Instant mode as soon as you’ve finished, it is
easy to accidentally change fixtures if you leave this mode active
C: Swap pan and tilt - If you have some fixtures mounted sideways,
it can be useful to swap the pan and tilt channels over.
1> Press softkey C
