Beams

Overview

The Beam select provides a means for storing and recalling a palette of up to 100 beam

states. These can be used for building cues and effects. As a default, Beams may

contain standard, static and rotating gobo wheel positions, however it is possible to

store your own Beams over the defaults and relabel as required. These programmable

Beams can include parameters such as beam (zoom, shutter, framing), edge (frost,

effect, prism), and gobo (static, rotating, index, effects, effects rotation) as determined

by the beam edge and gobo filter settings (refer to “Filter Mode” on page 159).

Beams are stored by luminaire types. This means that for any one luminaire type, only

one Beam setting can be stored in a single Beam select. For example, a select can

store different settings for VL5 and VL6 luminaires, but multiple settings cannot be

stored for multiple VL5 luminaires. During a store operation, the beam parameters

stored will be drawn from either the lowest active luminaire or lowest selected

luminaire as determined by the console’s default setting (refer to “Settings Window”

on page 258).

Beam Select Guidelines:

• Beams are not linked to Presets or cues. This means that if a certain Beam was

used when creating a Preset or cue and a new Beam is stored into that select, then

this will not affect the Beam stored in the Preset or cue.

• Parameters stored into a Beam select are always determined by the filters.

• Timing values cannot be stored in Beams.
