Modular Control
•
•
•
•
•
•
The SolaPix 19 fixture has three segments of control (or modules) that essentially give you three
fixtures in one, letting you customize each fixture based on your control needs.
The Base module is the master. The settings in this module control the basic functions of
the fixture, which include pan, tilt, zoom, and the control settings for the fixture.
The Macro (Flex) module lets you build and customize animation effects based on a library
of animations.
The Pixel module gives you individual control of each pixel.
The Base module is always a ctive. The Ma cro (Flex) and Pixel modules can be disabled, or they
can be set to Compound or Independe nt modes.
In Compound mode, a module automa tically addresses itself to the sa me source as the Base
module and follows immediately after the address of the Base module.
In Indepe ndent mode, you address a module individua lly to any source (DMX or Ethernet),
Addre ss, or Universe that your control setup requires.
Compounding the modules enables several different options:
Base + Flex (default)
Base + Pixel
Base + Flex + Pixel
Se e
Configure the Fixture on page17
Because the modules all control the same light sources, you ca n set the priority of control using
the Module Priority function (channel 11 in the Ba se module).
for information about configuring the modules.
Se e the DMX map on the High End Systems, Inc. website for details.
