21.11 PARKING FIXTURES
Fixtures (or just some attributes of fixtures) sometimes need to be isolated from regular
programming and playback. For example, you want some work lights that always stay on at low
level or a fixture has become faulty and you don’t want it moving and making a noise during a
show. When you isolate a fixture for these purposes it is commonly known as being “parked”.
Clarity provides a several methods of parking fixtures:
1. Select Programmer 2 then select the fixture(s) and set them as required. Now switch back
to Programmer 1. You can now continue to programme the show using Programmer 1.
The contents of Programmer 2 remain on but will not be recorded in your new cues.
2. If you want some channels to always be on whenever you start your show (such as those
that control DMX power racks for moving lights) then you can do this by:
 Recording a Cue-list with the channels you want set to 100% intensity.
 Set the Priority of the Cue-list to be higher than the programmer (use 150).
 Set the "Ignore Release All" option (found under the More button).
 Set the Preferences in the Show Menu to "Restore Playback State".
 Activate the cue and save the show.
Whenever you load the show this cue will automatically run and stay on for the duration of the
show.
21.12 UNIVERSAL CONTROL PANEL
The bottom of the screen contains the Universal Control Panel which has generic controls for
Intensity, Position, Colour and Beam. These controls work with any type of fixture that has
been selected and are especially useful to simultaneously control selections of mixed fixture
types.
Clicking and dragging in these controls uses low mouse gearing for accurate control, but can be
made even finer by holding down [Shift].
 In the Intensity box you can click on a preset value (0, 25, 50, 75 or 100%, Closed or
Open) or drag in the Dimmer or Strobe areas.
 In the Position box you can drag to vary pan and tilt.
 In the Colour box you can drag to vary the colour. If the fixture only has limited colour
selections (not full colour mixing) available, these will be indicated by small dotted
boxes. Click on (or near) a box to select that colour.
 In the Beam box, you can drag to vary iris, focus and zoom. If the fixture has specific
gobos, click on the gobo or Open Gobo to select it.
21.13 ATTRIBUTE CONTROLS
The area below each attributes name is known as an Attribute Control.
The individual attribute values can be varied by dragging with the mouse in their respective
area. You can also hold [Shift] when dragging for finer control.
