Background Lighting Changes

So with the New Year comes a new LED light setup. For background lighting we are changing from the 8 Par 38 100watt to 4 Par 64 30 watt LED. The main advantages are; smaller footprint on stage, ability to change colors on the fly, 700w drop in power supply required.
Each LED requires 4 channels to mix colors;
CH1 Level - 50% is full 51-100% strobe
CH2 Red
CH3 Green
CH4 Blue

For one color setup, we are using channels 17 thru 20, so if the LED fixture is set to 17, it will use channels 17,18,19,20. We are going to assign these to scene 6-Red 7-Green 8-Blue, for easier mixing.

For two color setup, we are using channels 21 thru 24, so a LED fixture set to 21 will use 21,22,23,24.
These will be assigned to scene 9-Red 10-Green 11-Blue.

Each fixture is individually assigned so that different colors can be added to the outsides, insides or alternated.

By using the scene menu you can bring up the band, the desired background lighting, hit record and then it will be saved into the cue list.

Please ask for help if this is confusing and I will walk you through it.
