Fat Frog

[Techno_Monkey]

Our school is just in the process of moving to our new state of the art building complete with 2 nice new drama studios, TV studio and main hall. I went in a couple of days ago to help rig lanterns in the drama studios etc etc

 

We finish rigging (mix of generic and moving fixtures - MAC 250's), plug in the new shinny Fat Frog desk and have a bit of a play - however I could not for the life of me find the focus control for the 250's. :(

 

Does anyone know where this control normally is and if their are any know problems??

 

The desk is running version 9.0.1

 

Many Thanks

Should be under Beamshape... On which page I can't remember, but flick through all the options using the button nestled within the thumbwheels and hopefully it should be there.

Just as a side note, you should probably download the latest version of the software (9.6) - it can be found on the Zero88 website, here. It contains some bug fixes from 9.0.1 which could confuse you unless you update (things like yes and no being the wrong way around!)

The Button Stu refers to is called the wheel group button.

 

Go to beamshape and then press this button- it will cycle through all the parameters and eventually it will come to Focus.

 

For more info on how to use the baord why not have a look at my training program (link in my sig).

 

Lucky you with a new building. TV studio?? Never heard of one of these in a school is it an arts school??

Not really, being on an island there are political issues with naming a particular school/college as a specialist in a certain subject. However both the media and drama departments are extremeley well equipped and the work produced is normally of a very good standard, so in a sense, yeah it could be called an art college (certainly 1 of if not the top schools/colleges in Jersey)

Does anyone know where I can download a fixture personality for the Martin Fibre Souces for use with the fat frog??

RE- Fixture Personality- Don't forget to try Zero 88's

Fixture File Exchange Also if you have created a fixture personality file don't forget to upload it so others can use it .

 

RE- Frog Training Program

I am currently making some modifications to the program and just adding a few more features. I am aware of some compatibility issues with certain browsers however the program is available on disk (for a small charge). If you are interested please email me!

Martin MAC 250 (Mode 4) Beamshape parameters:

 

Wheel group 1: Shutter/Reset, Gobo Selection, Gobo Rotation

Wheel group 2: Focus, Prism, FX Speed.

 

Select the fixture, press the Beamshape key, use the wheel group button to toggle between the two groups of beamshape parameters :P
