I have been trying to find out more about "parking" a fixture. Mention is made in the manual under the UDK section, it says details are "elsewhere", but I can't see where.
This is the scenario................
I am "temping" at a venue with an FLX and a large rig with generics and some LED wash movers
There is a concert (big band) booked in on a day that I can't be there
The op/designer with the Big Band is an ETC guy and has never seen an FLX before.
The plan is to run the show on subs/mffs/playbacks, with most of the light coming from the generics
There is a need for some static highlights, provided by the movers, to be positioned in the 2 hour "rehearsal" just before the show.
There are no plans to "move" the movers once they have been positioned on the areas of the stage to be highlighted. (Drums, Keys, Woodwind etc.)
As I can't be there, I am after the easiest solution, so that I can write down instructions to the incoming tech guy to do the following........
Position the (x4) moving LEDS to the required highlight positions (inc. zoom)
Record several states on different playbacks with a combination of generics and the movers in different colours BUT without them changing position and zoom when each/any of the playbacks are raised/lowered.
I know several complicated ways of doing it, but what I am really after is: "parking" the fixtures in a fixed position/zoom and them using them as if they are simple fixed LED fixtures.
Does anyone have a simple solution - any thoughts.
Thanks
Alan.
