We will use the Dmx device (Art-Net) to drive 2 PARS RGB.
Creation of the Patch:
Create a DMX device. Activate the output and choose the universe/subnet coherent with the Art-Net box that converts from Art-Net to DMX.
The first PAR is patched to channel 1 and the second PAR to channel 4.
Go in Patch and create the first fixture, call it R1 for red PAR 1, select channel 1. You can apply a red color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Create the second fixture, call it G1 for green PAR 1, choose channel 2. You can apply a green color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Create the third fixture, call it B1 for blue PAR 1, choose channel 3. You can apply a blue color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Go in Patch and create the first fixture, call it R2 for red PAR 2, select channel 4. You can apply a red color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Create the second fixture, call it G2 for green PAR 2, choose channel 5. You can apply a green color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Create the third fixture, call it B2 for blue PAR 2, choose channel 6. You can apply a blue color to it to better identify the color managed by this parameter in the mini desk.
Creating presets:
Go to the Mini-Desk tab.
You can work in Prep mode (to prepare a preset in blind mode, without sending anything) or in Stage mode (the values are sent in ART-NET and can be adjusted visually).
Switch to Stage mode. Let’s do a first preset called Black as an example. To do this, all fixtures are enabled, the values are set to zero, a wait of 0 and a fade of 0, and the preset is created by pressing “+”. Call this preset BLACK.
Move the R channels to FULL for each PAR. Now for the fade time, enter 5 seconds on each channel. Create a new preset called RED.
Move the G channels to FULL for each PAR and reset the state of the R channel on the two PARs to zero, put a 5 seconds fade time on each channel. Create a new preset called GREEN.
Select only the B channels B of each PAR and set this parameter to FULL, set the wait time at 3 seconds. Create a preset called PARTIAL B.
Recall the BLACK preset: the PARS are off.
Recall the RED preset: it switches to red in 5 seconds.
Recall the preset PARTIAL B: the RED channel remains at the same value while the blue rises in 3 seconds. We only activated the B channel in the presets, only its parameters are modified.
Recall of presets from a task:
Create tasks. Add the DMX device to each TASK and recall a different preset in each TASK.
Launch each Task from a cue in the playlist. You can now recall a synchronized preset with the launch of a media cue.
Piloting PARS using the UI:
Add 3 sliders. The 3 sliders are patched respectively to parameter R,G and B of PAR1.
Add 1 color wheel. Patch the PAR2 to the color wheel.
You can now control both pars using the user interface.
Add a feedback to the 3 sliders and the color wheel. We can still control PARS from the user interface and when we recall a task containing a DMX preset, we can see it remains synchronous with the actual DMX state in output.
