6.1.2 Defining another projector
If you wish to define another projector, select the unit name "Install" or select a SC-780 or other
FUTURELIGHT projector as template and adjust the settings. It is very useful to choose a template with 4
DMX-channels (e.g. Futurelight SC-240) for a projector with 4 DMX-channels (e.g. Eurolite TS-3). Please
note that the template is no longer available as soon as you have modified the projector name.
the channels have to be occupied in a way that the functions shown in the controller display correspond to
the actual functions of the projector. Please take the DMX control channels and their functions from the user
manual of your projector.

In the Manual-mode, you can call up the defined projectors manually and control them via the channel faders
and the Joystick.
Press the Manual-button and select the desired projector via the respective projector select button. You can
choose all projectors at once if you hold the Manual-button for approx. 2 seconds.
Adust the desired function via the channel faders and choose the desired position via the Joystick.

In the Manual-mode, you can switch the channel faders from CH 1-8 to CH 9-16 via the Menu-button.
Data Entry Fader:
In the Manual-mode, you can adjust the sensitivity of the Joystick via the Data Entry Fader. The lower the
adjusted value, the slower the Joystick reacts and the finer the movement of the projector.
Joystick:
In the 'Manual' mode and in the 'Create Program' mode you have the possibility to lock the joystick
movement in one direction. In this way, it is easier to control the scanners and Moving-Heads.
You can change between the modes by pressing the joystick.
Mode 1 : Only PAN controllable. The display shows: PAN CONTROL.
Mode 2 : Only TILT controllable. The display shows: TILT CONTROL.
Mode 3 : PAN and TILT controllable at once. The display shows: PAN-TILT CONTROL.
In the All Mirror-mode, both directions can be controlled at once.

Via the All Mirror-function, you can control the Pan/Tilt-movement of all projectors during the program run.
Press the Left/Right-button at the same time. The Left/Right-buttons start flashing and the display shows "All

order to leave the All Mirror-mode press the Left/Right-button.
6.2.2 Take a projector out of the program
By intervening into a program, all values of a program can be adjusted for the selected projectors (e.g.
mirror-position, colour, gobo, etc.). Please note that only this function will be taken out of the program which
is manually adjusted. If you adjust the colour manually, the mirror continues moving like in the program. If
you adjust the mirror-position, the gobos change like in the program.
Press the Manual-button and select the desired projector via the respective projector select button. You can
choose all projectors at once if you hold the Manual-button for approx. 2 seconds. You can also choose
several projectors which will work synchronically then.
The program continues until you adjust anything manually.
