Only 1 pan and tilt ?

Hi,

I'm just about to create a fixture profile for my Acme Dynatwin Scanner.

It is very similar to the Acme Dynamo, but it has two mirrors on the fixture both with separate Pan and Tilt channels.

The fixture creator shows only 1 pan and tilt ( 8 bit ).

Is there something I am missing to increase the number of pan and tilt's ?

If this is a limitation of the program, can anyone suggest a work around ?

Many Thanks.

To accomplish creating a profile for this fixture you will have to create two profiles, one for each mirror.
depending on the fixture you could have seperate pan/tilt color gobo and shutter controls for left and right.
or you may have to create the fixture and then create a separate fixture that contains only pan/tilt and path it into the correct address with FS

Thanks for your suggestion. I've stumbled across the fixture profile for this unit. It is under JBSYSTEMS Dual 1. !!

Who ever created the profile has done just as you have suggested and created two profiles for the same fixture.

I've figured out how to patch the second one in, and it does work.

Thanks again for your help.
