Unison Mosaic Designer User Manual
Fixture Position
Use these fields to set numerically the fixture's position and orientation on the plan and to change the size and
shape of the fixture's icon, useful for tweaking their scale to that of the plan background if the default scale not
used (1cm:1pixel).
It is desirable to position the fixtures on the plan as accurately as possible to improve both the accuracy of the pro-
gramming (in particular pixel matrices created automatically from the plan layout) and the general neatness of the
project and simulation.
Grid
Use the plan properties to set the spacing of the plan's grid, whether it is displayed and whether fixtures should
snap to it. Holding Shift while dragging a fixture selection will invert the snap to grid behaviour.
Nudge
Use the cursor keys to nudge a fixture selection up, down, left or right by the amount set as the grid spacing.
Alternatively, use the up and down arrows by each of the fixture's position fields. Holding Shift while using the
cursor keys performs a super-nudge of 10x the grid spacing.
Alignment
Fixtures can be aligned to one another by making the selection and entering the value to be shared into the appro-
priate position field.
Fixture Configuration
This pane allows you to configure the selected fixture(s):
Intensity
The fixture's dimmer curve and maximum intensity can be set, use the Dimmer Curve pull-down to determine the
type of cross fade the intensity channel will perform and set a Maximum Intensity level, useful for balancing light
output.
DALI
DALI ballasts can be configured as allowed for by the DALI standard; Min Level (0>254), Max Level (0>254),
Power On Level (1>254) and Bus Failure level (No change, 0>254). The standard specifies a level range of 0>254
with 255 being used as a special case meaning "no change", a mask if you like. Unlike DMX fixtures, these set-
tings are stored in the ballasts themselves and so must be uploaded separately, see
DALI.
Ballasts can also have their default Fade Time and Fade Rate set in the configuration pane.
Emergency DALI ballasts will also have the option to the set the Prolong time in the configuration pane. More
information about emergency ballasts can be in the
DALI topic.
NOTE: The default Fade Time and Fade Rate will be overwritten when new values are sent to ballasts during play-
back from triggers or programming. This is due to the way DALI ballasts store this information.
