Setup

Edit a Personality Live

This is best done with the device connected, since all parameters can be checked live as

they are assigned.

N o t e :

It is recommended to assign first the intensity and then the shutter parameters in order to

see some light output from the device so that the remaining parameters may be more

easily identified.

Some types of moving light require a particular value to be set on a channel in order to

either turn them on, reset them or strike an arc light. This must be determined by studying

the manufacturer’s data sheet. SmartFade ML cannot automatically detect such settings.

Step 1:

Open the personality editor as described prior to this.

Step 1:

Now the faders 1-24 in INT A and INT B are controlling the first 48 control

channels of the device directly. Fader 1 = control channel 1 etc. The following

way of working is very fast and direct.

Step 2:

Select INT A, move fader 1, and set the first control channel of the device to an

appropriate HOME value (check the documentation of the device to find out this

value).

Step 3:

Now press the bump of a fader in PARAM 1 or PARAM 2 equivalent to this

parameter to assign it. For example, if it is intensity, press bump 1. If it is Strobe/

Shutter press bump 10.

Step 4:

Select INT A again and move fader 2 - this will output control channel 2 AND set

the OFFSET in the left display to 2.

Step 5:

Repeat the procedure in step 3 - step 4 until finished.

Special - Pan/Tilt 16 bit

Since Pan and Tilt in 16 bit mode requires two channels: Coarse and Fine - and there is

only one Pan or Tilt bump, it is important that you assign them in a specific order.

Step 1:

Move the fader corresponding to Coarse and press PAN.

Step 2:

Then move the fader corresponding to Fine and press PAN again. This will

assign PanFine.

N o t e :

It is possible to toggle between Coarse and Fine for a selected OFFSET by pressing

PAN.
