6.1.2 Defining another projector
If you wish to define another projector, select the unit name "Install" or select a SC-780 or other
FUTURELIGHT projector as template and adjust the settings. It is very useful to choose a template with 4
DMX-channels (e.g. Futurelight SC-240) for a projector with 4 DMX-channels (e.g. Eurolite TS-3). Please
note that the template is no longer available as soon as you have modified the projector name.
the channels have to be occupied in a way that the functions shown in the controller display correspond to
the actual functions of the projector. Please take the DMX control channels and their functions from the user
manual of your projector.
Rename unit
Please refer to the explanations under 6.10.1 Rename unit.
Configure unit
Please refer to the explanations under 6.10.4 Configure unit.
6.1.3 Defining a group of projectors
With the CP-256/32 you can define 4 different groups of projectors. For every of the 4 groups, you can call a
different program. All projectors of one group run through the selected program with the same speed. At the
same time, another group can run through another program with another speed.
Press the Menu-button and select "Menu 2. Make Program" via the Up/Down-buttons or the Data Entry
Fader. Press the Enter-button. Select the "Make Group" via the Up/Down-buttons or the Data Entry Fader
and press the Enter-button.
The upper line of the display shows "Group:" and the current group number. The lower line shows which
projectors are included in this group. All places marked with "*" are the projectors included in this group. If a
projector is not included in this group, the lower line shows "-".
The current group can be changed by pressing the Up/Down-buttons. The desired projectors can be
included in the current group by pressing the respective Projector Select-button.
Please note: a projector cannot be included in several groups. All projectors are included in group 1. As
soon as you will include a projector in group 2, 3 or 4, it will be deactived in group 1.
6.2 Manual-mode
6.2.1 Call up projectors manually
In the Manual-mode, you can call up the defined projectors manually and control them via the channel faders
and the encoders.
Press the Manual-button and select the desired projector via the respective projector select button. You can
choose all projectors at once if you hold the Manual-button for approx. 2 seconds.
Adust the desired function via the channel faders and choose the desired position via the encoders.
Menu-button:
In the Manual-mode, you can switch the channel faders from CH 1-8 to CH 9-16 via the Menu-button.
Data Entry Fader:
In the Manual-mode, you can adjust the sensitivity of the encoders via the Data Entry Fader. The lower the
adjusted value, the slower the encoders reacts and the finer the movement of the projector.
Encoders:
In the 'Manual' mode and in the 'Create Program' mode you have the possibility to lock the encoders
movement in one direction. In this way, it is easier to control the scanners and Moving-Heads.
You can change between the modes by pressing the encoders.
Mode 1 : Only PAN controllable. The display shows: PAN CONTROL.
Mode 2 : Only TILT controllable. The display shows: TILT CONTROL.
Mode 3 : PAN and TILT controllable at once. The display shows: PAN-TILT CONTROL.
In the All Mirror-mode, both directions can be controlled at once.
