because they have more attributes to control, such as pan, tilt, colour

etc., where a dimmer channel just has intensity. When you patch a

fixture, you will see on the display that it occupies a block of DMX

channels rather than just one.

The Pearl uses a “personality” system to control fixtures. There is a

personality file in the Pearl for most types of fixture, which tells it what

attributes are available and how to control them. If the Pearl does not

have the personality for your fixture, you can download a wide range of

personalities from the Avolites website onto disk and load them that

way. If you use fixtures often you can add them to the internal store.

In the unlikely event that no personality exists for the fixture you are

using, Avolites will create one for you. You can also create the file

yourself if you have some programming abilities. See chapter 12 on

page

215 for details of how to find personalities.

Note: The Pearl holds all the personalities in an internal “cache” file. If

the console memory gets totally wiped you might need to

reload the file, how to do it is described on page 201.

1> Press Patch, then B [Choose a Fixture], then select the

“AVOCACH” USB drive (unless you’re loading a personality from

an external disk).

2> A list of fixture manufacturers is shown. Use F [More] and G

[Back] to go up and down the list and find the correct

manufacturer, then press the softkey next to the name to select

it.

3> A list of fixtures from that manufacturer is shown. Use F [More]

and G [Back] to go up and down the list and find the correct

fixture, then press the softkey next to the fixture to select it.

4> The Pearl loads the fixture information. The display shows details

of the fixture.

5> The Pearl will ask “Use preset palettes?”. Press A [Yes]. This loads

a standard set of positions, colours and gobos into the Palette

pages which can be useful when programming. If you say No now,

you can’t load them later.

6> On the display, the Pearl shows the DMX address it is going to

patch at. You can change this using the numeric keypad. You can

also press E [Select a DMX line] to patch onto one of the other 3

DMX output lines.

7> Press an unused handle Swop button to patch the fixture. The

VDU screen will show the block of channels occupied by the

fixture. If you want to use a different fixture page, select the new

page first.

8> Repeat from Step 7 to patch more of this type of fixture.

9> Press A [Select another fixture] and repeat from Step 3 to patch a

different type of fixture.

• You can patch a range of fixtures by holding down the first and

last Swop buttons of the range, the same as for dimmers.

• Unlike dimmers, you cannot patch more than one fixture onto a

handle. If the handle is already used, the patch will fail. Use a

different handle or delete the fixture already on the handle if you
