2D Plan




A major innovation offered by ProSceniumDMX is the ability to work on a lighting plan or with traditional faders indifferently.

Bottom line : the innovation potential of this function requires no explanation. From now on, no need to remember spot numbers or location: just click it on the plan and you have direct access to the control wheel for that Channel.

One step at a time, though...

To load the plan with spot symbols, two different techniques may be used: from "Channels" window a symbol may be selected and dragged-dropped on the plan. In this case the spots must be defined, have a text description and a spot number greater than zero.

The Lighting Plan window size is variable and dependent on the screen resolution. If more space is required, scrolling may be performed with the usual scroll/bars.

This plan contains two object types: symbols and labels.

The label background colour is white when the circuit is off and takes different hues of yellow according to the spot intensity. This allows direct, intuitive control of all show Channels.


Action : Left Mouse Button Right Mouse Button

Symbol (Icon) Double click: opens Channel property window Allows Drag & Drop on lighting plan (or to the Trash bin)

Label (Chan No.) Selects circuit and assigns it to the Thumbwheel. Click: opens Channel property window If the spot is a scanner, opens scanner window

Show icons. This option allows disabling of the icon display. This is useful if spots have already been drawn as part of the plan background image. This option leaves program functions unchanged, letting each user choose his graphic editor program of choice for the creation of the lighting plan.

Hide icons. This option allows to disable icon display. This is useful if spots have already been drawn as part of the plan background image. This option leaves program functions unchanged, letting each user choose his graphic editor program of choice for the creation of the lighting plan

This option allows to visualise Channel level instead of an icon. This adds to ProScenium a geographical tracking screen. Note that for moving light the Channel number represent the address of the fixture, and the level number represent the level of the intensity Channel.
