Dimmer as a Fixture


Mal421

Recommended Posts

At the college where I work we have a Jester ML24 which is ideal for our needs. However I foresee a time when I will need more than 24 channels of dimming. As this will be for the occassional performanceIs and space is tight so I don't want to slave another desk via the DMX IN, is it possible to create a fixture for a dimmer pack? I have been trying with Fixture editor but it will only allow 1 dimmer channel per fixture.

Hi,

 

A single dimmer can be a fixture, so you could patch an additional 30 dimmers as fixtures on the Jester ML.

 

This is already on the console - so when patching choose 'Fixture Library', 'Standard Fixtures', 'Conventional' and choose 'Dimmer'.

 

When it tells you to select the locations, you can press multiple Multi-Function Keys, to patch more than one. You can also press the first and last key, to fill in all the fixtures inbetween.

 

Remember that you have 3 pages of fixtures, that are page-able using the Page Up and Page Down buttons.
