  All times (cue times and fixture attribute times) are stored in the programmer and are saved when you store a cue. To edit times in the programmer before saving, press the Times button (previously labelled “Set” on Quartz/Titan Mobile/Sapphire Touch/Tiger Touch and “Next Time” on Pearl Expert/Tiger Touch mk1).

  Page 18 – 2. Setting up and using the console 2. Setting up and using the console Welcome to Titan Mobile from Avolites. This manual is a reference guide to all the functions of the console. We explain things in the order you’re most likely to use them, so we start with how to set up the console, then look at patching lights, controlling lights and how to program cues.

Attribute functions such as Fan and Shapes are also controlled here. • The Chase and Cuelist control buttons allow you to start and stop chases and cuelists, and move about in the list.

• Page 22: Connecting Up

  Your PC must be running Windows 7 or Windows 8. Do not connect the Titan Mobile panel to your PC for the first time until you have installed the Titan Mobile software, which you do simply by running the installer file. This will make sure the drivers for the panel are installed.

  2.3.4 Visualiser The console runs Avolites Visualiser internally. This allows you to view the output of the console if you can’t use the real lights, enabling you to make changes to your show at home or in your hotel. It can also be used in Blind mode for programming during a show.

• Page 32: Keyboard Shortcuts

  2.3.8 Keyboard shortcuts Many features of the console can be controlled by shortcuts on the keyboard. These are especially useful when using Titan Mobile or Titan Simulator. The Titan application “captures” the keyboard on start up, meaning that if you try to use other applications at the same time they will not receive keypresses.

  Simply download and run the installer from the Avolites Download website. The first time you run Simulator you will need to license the software with the Avolites website. For this you will need an account set up on the Download site, which you should go and create now if you don’t already have one.

• Page 37: Running Titan Simulator

  You can save any number of different shows on a USB drive or the console’s internal hard disk. The console will also autosave the show periodically. Shows created on Titan Mobile can be loaded into any other Avolites Titan console, but not to older non-Titan consoles as the showfile format is different.

• Page 38: Loading A Show

  Page 38 – 2. Setting up and using the console • A new version of the file will be saved even if you enter the same tag as previously used. If you save to hard drive, shows are saved in the folder ‘DocumentsTitanShow Files’, unless you change this in the User Settings.

• Page 45: Patching Moving Light Fixtures

  Avolites consoles use a “personality” system to control fixtures. This means you don’t have to know how each fixture works, you just tell Titan Mobile what you want to do and it will send the right control commands. The console has built-in personalities for most types of fixture, which tell it what attributes are available and how to control them.

  The Sub fixtures feature requires an updated personality file. If sub fixtures does not work on your fixture you may need to obtain the latest fixture personality from Avolites. 3.1.6 Patching by RDM RDM (Remote Device Management) is a system which allows the console to interrogate the lighting rig to find out what’s there.

• Page 55
  3. Patching — Page 55 However, this may not always work out quite right, so using Exchange Mapping you can manually map functions between the fixtures. For example this allows you to map the old gobos to similar new gobos even if they are not in the same wheel position, and to ensure that rotation speeds work the same.

• Page 56: Update Personalities

  Here you can store the new mappings by pressing Apply, forget the changes by pressing Cancel or restore all mappings to Avolites factory default by pressing Reset. All these actions have to be confirmed by pressing the [Confirm] softkey.

Controlling dimmers and fixtures When you are programming a show, and sometimes when you are running a show, you need to manually control the fixtures and dimmers to set the intensity, position, colour, etc. To do this you first select the fixtures you want to change using the select buttons, then you set the attributes of those fixtures using the Wheels and Attribute buttons.

Подскажите, а есть вариант ускорить получение лицензии для Avolites Titan  PC Suite 11. К примеру, вышел из строя компьютер с полученной лицензией перед мероприятием и срочно необходимо запустить пульт с другим ПК. На данный момент я так понимаю активация занимает до 5 рабочих дней. Можно ли сократить это время хотя бы до 1 суток?
