How to optimise shows for different size stages......???

Post by Uriahdemon »

Hi, I have set up FS over the years to respond to certain moving head submaster cues regarding tilt/pan etc. What I have now regularly hit upon is the need to adjust the tilt/pan limits i.e. in a bigger venue needing to extend the values for greater coverage or in smaller venues reduce them.

Is there a simple way to do this please .....??

Thanks Maros336. Are you using the submaster and/or cue buttons to control the lights.....?? It may have been obvious to you however it does mention that you have to control the fixtures using them for this to work

I am using submasters. Is that resize working for you?

using visualiser seems to increase or reduce the movement of heads so pretty confident it may work on live rig. I will be using it from Nov 20th
