Selecting using a pattern

When programming you will often want to select patterns of fixtures.

Rather than having to individually select and deselect fixtures, the

Pearl has an easy way of selecting odd then even fixtures in a range

of fixtures, or it can, for example, select every 4

fixture.

1> Select some fixtures.
2> Press the white “All” button (below the Next Time button to the

right of the wheels).

3> Select a pattern from the softkeys. Your selection is modified so

you will only be controlling, say, the odd fixtures.

4> Press the white “Next” button to change the selection to the

next stage of the pattern.

5> To end the pattern selection, press All twice.

For example, if you are programming a chase using 16 fixtures and you

want every 4

fixture to do the same thing, you just select the 16

fixtures, then press All, then D [1 in 4]. You will see that the 1

, 5

, 9

and 13

fixtures are now selected, and you can create the look for

those fixtures. Then press Next, and the 2

, 6

, 10

and 14

fixtures

will be selected ready for programming. After you have programmed

the fourth set of fixtures, the pattern will go back to the first position

again, until you press All twice to end.

•

You can enter your own patterns using the numeric keypad and

softkeys, for example “2” A [In] “6”.

Attribute groups - IPCGBES

To make life a bit simpler, the Pearl groups together attributes which

have similar effects, using the letters IPCGBES.
I-Intensity (dimmer, strobe shutter)
P-Position (pan, tilt)
