    3. 3.1. Getting started guide this is a guided tour through most of the functions of the dot2. It's meant to be read from the beginning to the end (follow the numbers), but it's separated into different chapters for convenience. The goal is to give you a hands-on experience with the console. Even th...

  • Page 17

    3.2. Some keys have symbols and when we need to talk about them, i'll show you the key and also introduce the written word for those keys. You also need to tap areas on the screen. It will look like this: system clock . If i need you to write something on the keyboard, i'll write it like this: f 42 ...

    The back the back panel looks like this (on a dot2 core): there's a lot of different connectors on the back of the console. For this tour we'll need to connect power (the connector at number one) and i would suggest that you connect a usb keyboard to one of the usb connectors at number three. You sh...

  • Page 19

    The front the front of a dot2 core looks like this: throughout this guide i'll mention different areas of the console. This is a short walk-through of the different ares: 1. Command section - this is where you have access to most of the functions on the console using keys. 2. Encoders - the encoders...

    When it's done booting, you should press the backup key. This gives you the backup menu: please press the new show button. This will create a new and empty show. The next that will happen is a pop-up that asks for a name of your new show. Please type in: getting started 01 21.

  • Page 22

    3.4. If there's a show loaded (there most likely is), then you are asked if you want to save the current show before creating the new show. Saving might be a good idea. You also might be presented with a window that tells you that there already is a show with this name. Then you can choose to overwr...

    We are going to pretend we have a small black box theater and we are going to add some dimmers. We got 12 dimmer to play with. This is our basic plot: so let's add those 12 dimmers to the setup in the console (don't worry, we'll add more fun stuff later). Ignore what your screen says and just press ...

  • Page 24

    3.5. We want to have a fixture id that begins with number 1 and the name can be changed later (so can the rest by the way). We are also happy with patching them to universe 1 and from the first address and forward. It should look like this when we are gone with our adjustment: ok, we are happy. Pres...

    Your screen 1 should now have a fixtures view that looks like this: each rectangle represents each of our 12 fixtures. We can see that they all currently have a value of 0% - so they are turned off. This is their default value. That means that if they are not told anything else, then they go to 0%. ...

    If you make a typo or maybe hit a wrong key, you can use the oops key as a backspace. If you want to abandon the whole thing (not the console as such, but just what you started typing) you can press esc to cancel the command you are typing. When you are ready to move on you should press the clear ke...

    1 2 thru 1 at 1 0 thru 1 0 0 please , then the spread is reversed. Now fixture 12 is at 10% and fixture one in on 100%. We selected the fixtures in the reverse order and then applied the same range of values. If you use the screen to select the fixtures in a random order (you might need to press cle...

    Now press the leftmost encoder. This will open the calculator . It could look like this: this also allows you to type a value on the screen. But you can also use some predefined values. On the picture above there are four buttons: open , 75% , 50% and 25% . 'open' is the same as 100% (full open). Pr...

  • Page 29

    3.6. Now let's reset and give all the fixtures 50% again ( at 5 0 please ). Now press the align key until the pop-up says the mode is "align >". And now try to turn down the dimmer encoder again. Now the result is that we change fixture 1 and the value is spread up to fixture 10, that doesn't change...

    In the previous chapter you might have noticed that when we changed the values of the fixtures there was a red line on the dimmer button on the right side of screen 1. It looked like this: and when we pressed clear , it went away. This indicated to us that we had dimmer values in the programmer. If ...

  • Page 31

    This changes the view to something like this: notice that i have fixture 3 and 4 at 50% in the picture above. If you want to go back to the symbol view you can press the little button on the left - the one with four squares. But for now please stay in the sheet view. Try to set your fixture 3 and 4 ...

    3.7. Instead of pressing the clear key two times, you could keep it pressed for 1 second - it's the same thing. I'll tell you more about the programmer when we begin to store cues. Highlight i'll like to introduce you to the highlight function before we move on. Clear you programmer and then press t...

    Let's make a group. First select all your fixtures. This is the fastest way: thru please this actually selects all fixtures from the lowest possible id number to the highest. Now we have a selection and we can store this as a group: store group 1 please this created group number 1 with the selected ...

  • Page 34

    Since we wanted to add fixtures to our group, we should press merge . Try to tap the group to check that it actually select fixture 1 to 4. Move, copy and delete there are three functions that i would like to show you. They are general functions that works on many things, but now is the right time t...

    When you are done the group view should look like this: combination selections with these groups we can do a lot of different combinations. You can combine two groups simply be pressing them. If you press all foh and then down stage (there's an automatic + function), you have selected fixtures 1 to ...

    3.8. If you want to reselect the entire group then you can press the set key. When you feel comfortable (maybe check if you need some more coffee or tea) you should move on to the next chapter, where we are going to store our first cue - yeah it's about time! Getting started guide - storing a cue an...

  • Page 37

    Then your mini executor view should look like this: notice the brighter color and the blue marking of cue number 1. This indicates that the executor is active and that the current cue is number 1. You should also be able to see the fixtures have 40% output on the fixture view. Try to move the master...

  • Page 38

    'snap percent' is a special function used with complex fixtures that have things like gobo wheels. Some things are set to "snap" from the old position to the new, instead of fading from one to the other. Snap percent is used to set the point in the cue fade time when the gobo wheel should change pos...

  • Page 39

    When you turn up executor 1 then fixtures 1 to 4 turns on. When you turn it down, then they turn off again. Now put the fader at 50. Then put group two at 80% in your programmer. Try to move the fader again. Now the fixtures stay at 80%. This is because the programmer have a higher priority than the...

  • Page 40

    3.9. Here we can set a new default time that will be used when we store cue in the future. When we add fixtures with more preset types then these will appear on the right side of this view (you might have color there already). If you change any of the factory default, then your time key will flash w...

  • Page 41

    Try to run the cue to see the fixtures in group 5 fade in. Let's try to use the command line input instead of the keys. Locate this on screen 1: command line this is the command line input. Here we can type commands using the keyboard (on screen or external). When you press it you'll get the command...

  • Page 42

    So again there are shortcuts to most words. We created cue number 3 with a fade time of 5 seconds. Cue number 4 is a darker cue, so we are going to take 40% of everything that's currently on. Currently we have group 5 and 8 on.. This is the key presses needed: group 5 + 8 at - 4 0 please we are goin...

    Now we are going to add some more fixtures to our patch. We got four etc vivid-r 11 color wash fixtures. Our new plot looks like this: they are mounted on vertical pipes on each side of the stage. We need to go back into the setup and add these four fixtures. Press setup and select patch & fixture s...

  • Page 45

    3.11. Then we can press the ok in the upper right corner. Now our fixture type is the correct one. Change the quantity to 4 and the fixture id to 21. We also need to change the address for the first fixture. We want to patch them from the first address on the second dmx universe and we want then to ...

  • Page 46

    The quality fader deserves some explanation. It works with fixtures that have more than three colors. You can choose how the console should mix the colors. At the top of the fader it says "primary". This means that the fixture will only use the three primary red, green and blue led's to create the d...

  • Page 47

    3.12. Raw the last way to control the colors is raw control with the actual color channels of the fixture. Press where it says raw: mixcolor a . This gives you the first 4 color channels. Next to it is mixcolor b. This is the next set of 4 channels. Here you can change the value on the screen or by ...

  • Page 48

    The best way to see this is in the fixture view in sheet style. Try to give your fixtures a dimmer value and a new color. Now store this as a new color preset. Notice that we still have the original dimmer values in our programmer - the red color on the preset bar in the right of screen 1. That's be...

    3.13. In the next chapter we are going to have a closer look at the external screen. Getting started guide - external screen i asked that you connect an external screen. So let's have a look at what we can do with it. If you don't have a touch screen, then you should connect an external mouse. This ...

    3.14. This is the same view as select view on the actual external screen. In the version displayed on screen 1 you'll keep it when you select different views for the different tiles. You can also use the encoders to change the arrangement and views. In the next chapter we are going to add some movin...

    If you do this in the type field then we get a list of the fixture types that already exists in our show. When we added the etc vivids, we took a copy from the fixture library and copied it into our show. We need to do the same with the glp x4's. Press select others... And find the glps (impression ...

    Anything in this chapter, so if you already feel comfortable with fixture control, then feel free to jump to the next chapter. Dimmer we have already looked at this view in chapter 5.

    That would make sure that we don't track the new 0% values into cue 7. This is an example of some of the many ways you can work on the dot2. Often there's not just one way to do something. More changes and small fixes anyway, that should have fixed the ending of our little cue list. Please try it ou...

    Preview the other option for looking at something without actually outputting it is the preview function.

    Degree. There are 360 degrees in a circle so if we want to spread all the fixtures evenly through the loop then they need to have a phase from 0 to 360 degrees.
