Figure 21 - Pointing the light to the calibration points

using the MLD controller

Or ii) Use your DMX console. If you have a DMX console connected to the

MLD you may find it easier to point the light at the calibration points by using the

console’s trackball, touchpad, tablet, joystick or sliders rather than using the MLD

controller. Simply set the “external capture” radio button to “enabled”, point the

light to calibration point 1, and press on “Point to Cal. Point 1”. Repeat this steps

for points 2,3 and 4.

Once you have finished, your fixture is ready to be automatically calibrated: press the

“Calibration response enabled” radio button. When you press OK to accept the values

for the fixture in the dialog box and you return to the “Lighting Set-up” screen, you will

see that the box corresponding to the light that you have just defined is highlighted by a

red bounding box: this means that the light is selected for calibration. As you define

more lights that need to be automatically calibrated, following the steps indicated

above, their corresponding boxes in the “Lights available” zone will appear with the red

bounding box.

c) Find the location of the points. The next thing that must be done is to find the

coordinates of your four lighting calibration points on the stage.

i) If you used the speaker calibration marks as the four lighting calibration points,

then simply press the “Use Speaker Calibration Points” button. This will

automatically update the values on the bottom of the screen, the lighting

calibration points, to those values.

ii) If you used four new lighting calibration points the MLD tracker must be used

to measure the points. Press the “Track Cal. Point 1” button to begin real-time

monitoring of your tracker. Position the tracker exactly over the mark for the

first lighting calibration point. Press OK to stop the real-time monitoring while the

tracker is still over the mark (you can leave the tracker on the floor over the

mark so that you can go back to the computer, as long as the microphone is

pointing up and has a clear line of sight to the speakers). The fields will show
