2. GETTING STARTED 2.1 INSTALLATION 2.1.1 Delivery and Unpacking As soon as you receive your equipment, open the boxes and inspect the items received. If you discover any damage, contact the carrier immediately and make any necessary claim for the problems discovered. 2.1.2 Installing the console The desk and the monitor(s) should be installed on a table or a console. The surface of your work area should be smooth, level and sturdy.
When connecting any devices to the desk, make sure that all connections are correct before switching on the power. ADB lighting technologies has a policy of continuous improvement of its products. HATHOR software is subject to this policy as new features are added and existing features improved. The current software version is displayed in the HATHOR menu (Upside Left corner) > About. The latest version can be downloaded from the ADB website.
SCREEN LAYOUT When starting HATHOR and IMAGO for the first time, all screens are empty (grey). To display the IMAGO dedicated screen, click on the HATHOR menu (Up left side of the main screen). HATHOR / Setup / Consoles Develop the USB Wings part, click on ADB IMAGO, Enabled, then click on the Show Display button. Then, dock this specific Display, and organize some controllers around that display. To display a basic configuration of screens and subscreens, load a Screen Layout (1 Screen.slo or 2 Screens.
2.2 GENERAL INFORMATION 2.2.1 System overview HATHOR range is a control system for conventional lights, moving devices, scrollers and media-servers. It controls up to 2048 channels (Instruments) and 16384 outputs (DMX channels). 2.2.1.1 Consoles and main accessories 1. LIBERTY 2. FREEDOM 3. RACK PC UNIT 4. 24 Subfaders Extension 4. IMAGO + computer 4. WI-FI Full remote system www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 14 Issue 1.

2.2.2 Hardware 2.2.2.1 Computers specifications HATHOR runs on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Computers used to run HATHOR should be, at minimum, compliant with Microsoft's requirements for Windows7. We would further suggest: Dual Core Processor with 2.9 GHz CPU (recommended: Intel i3 or higher) 2 GB RAM (recommended: 4 GB RAM) Hard-drive with minimum 64 GB (recommended type: SSD) Network card 10/100 Mbps USB 2.
We strongly suggest that HATHOR computers only be connected to the internet when undergoing service and maintenance work, when there is sufficient time to properly assess and install updates. All computers on the network must have the same version of HATHOR installed. 2.2.2.2 Video Touchscreens HATHOR can use touchscreens (especially useful for selecting Direct Access buttons such as Groups, Palettes and so on) Touchscreens - resistive is acceptable. Multi-Touch feature is supported by HATHOR.
Window's font size Use normal font scaling (96 dpi), because non-normal font scaling can cause problems with HATHOR’s ability to properly display on the screen. This is most noticeable in Field Editors where the Channel / Instrument numbers appear to be cut off at the bottom. 2.2.3 Console Key Syntaxes There are different kinds of keys in the system: keys with a simple function, keys with a double function (in combination with [C/ALT]), Touchscreen soft keys and Screen soft keys.

With rare exceptions, in HATHOR, if you have data visible on the displays you can directly modify it, or open an editor to modify it. You do not need to change display format, switch to another screen, or "tunnel down" through menus. You can use the menu system if you choose, but for the vast majority of normal use, it is not needed. Levels of data/configuration storage HATHOR stores data at three different levels: Session: stored data specific to your current working environment, i.e.
Objects Objects in the software contain Data. With rare exceptions, in HATHOR, if you have data visible on the displays you can directly modify it, or open an editor to modify it. You do not need to change display format, switch to another screen, or "tunnel down" through menus. You can use the menu system if you choose, but for the vast majority of common use, it is not needed. Play The play is the whole show, including all stored files (current and history versions of files) for that show.
Controllers can also be opened for temporary needs and left floating on the desktop Brief description of the different Controllers: Field Editor: displays a grid of Instruments, used for selecting instruments, changing levels. Fields: displays Submaster Fields in a high density format Sequence Playback: displays a Sequence of steps, along with playback controls. Device Control: displays controls and information for devices such as moving lights.
Attribute = Parameter Symbol: The control of non-intensity parameters, for example a moving device or a scroller, are called attributes or parameters. These are patched to the controls of HATHOR when the Template corresponding to that device is assigned to a control channel (Instrument) in the Patch. In a sequence, all attribute’s values are recorded in a specific area named DEVICE LINK. In a Look, all attribute’s values are recorded directly in the Look 2.2.4.
other systems. The advantage here is that Presets can be re-used in any Sequence, with different times. Looks A look is a cue including channels with their intensity levels and their attributes, like a snapshot, without any time information and outside the Sequences. Looks are primarily useful for "live" performances, when you wish to be able to bring up pre-recorded fixture settings, but in a non-sequential, spontaneous manner, such as for a musical concert.
Devices A device (also named fixture) is a specific object corresponding to a complex instrument controlling more than dimmer(s). Device will be automatically generated as soon as a Device template is patched on a channel. Gel Strings = Rolls = Scrolls A Gel String (also named Scroll) is a Scroller Roll designed to be used in combination with Scrollers. The same Gel String can be used with several Scrollers, and also different types of Scrollers. A Gel String is structured in Frames (Colours).
2.2.5 Software organization 2.2.5.1 Introduction From the software side, working with HATHOR is based on three basics parts: HATHOR menu menu Controllers and Panels PLAY menu www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 33 Issue 1.
2.2.5.2 HATHOR Menu The HATHOR menu is the main menu. It is the backbone of the system. From this menu you would be able to access to all information needed to work with the software or the desk: File To save, load a play file as well as browse other play files. Data The part of the data specific to the Play file. Data is also accessible via the PLAY menu. Controllers The windows that provides interfaces to operate the system and access to the data.
2/ HATHOR Duo option offers 1 Master and 1 Backup and allows working on both systems. 3/ HATHOR Multi-User option offers 1 Master and 1 Backup and any number of Clients. Clients can be full access or View only License is not required on Client to connect to session already on network.
HATHOR systems: Addresses from 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.20 Switches 10.10.10.31 to 10.10.10.40 Nodes, fixtures etc. 10.10.10.51 to 10.10.10.256 All on same subnet mask i.e., 255.255.255.0 Pathport nodes have to have I.P address that is higher than the PCs that are providing Pathport data.
An active BACKUP offers the possibility to work on the same show, and at the same time, as the MASTER console. It is always possible to switch from BACKUP to MASTER role: On BACKUP console, right click on Backup button (right side of Session button), and select Convert to Master. Note: It is not possible to switch from MASTER to BACKUP role. 2.3.1.3 Client & Multiple Users As soon as a MASTER is declared on the Network, and if the License allows that, other systems can join the Session as Client.
At the bottom of these windows, regardless of which tab is selected, there is a checkbox for "Fullscreen with consoles": THIS OPTION IS DEDICATED TO COMPUTERS RUNNING HATHOR, NOT TO DESKS. - If it is checked, HATHOR will run in a normal mode with a fully visible interface, with HATHOR "taking control"" of the Windows desktop. Any control consoles will also be functional - If is NOT checked, then HATHOR will run as a conventional Windows program, initially minimised.
DUO and MULTI USER options Master option includes desk to desk communication, as well as transmitting DMX data over the Network. Available roles for a second desk in this context would be Backup, or Client (MULTI USER only) The "Session Definition Library" lists existing sessions that you have created. To launch HATHOR, select a session, then select "Standalone", "Master Ltd" or "Master" to start HATHOR. The local menu on a Stored Session allows to delete a session, or to edit it.
2.3.2.4 New session The "New Session" tab is used to create new sessions. Once you have created a new session, you can launch HATHOR from this tab by using the "Offline", "Offline with Network", "Standalone" or "Master". See "Sessions Setup" for details. Offline mode: no data output Offline with Network mode: Mode to use Offline version with Wysiwyg. CITP in Offline option: Mode to use Offline version with Capture. 2.3.2.5 Setup www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 40 Issue 1.
Session Default To assign a dedicated session used when HATHOR starts automatically. Set the Role: Master->Backup: Master if first, Backup if there is a Master already Backup: always Backup Client: always Client View Only Client: always View Only Client Offline: always Offline Alone: always Standalone Set the Network Session: select it from Stored sessions. If "Use Defaults" is checked, when you launch HATHOR, it will automatically start up in the role and session selected.
If “Skip Screen Layout” is checked, the system will not refer to this status file, and then will start with empty screens. TIP: sometimes the screen status file can be corrupted, generating some system issues. Use these feature to start with empty screens, and then create a new screen layout or load an existing one. 2.4 SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE HATHOR / Shutdown: {YES} Shutdown: when you shut down the Console, it does not automatically save the show file.

2.5.1.1 Main menu [Menu] 2.5.1.2 File HATHOR / File Introduction The File menu offers options to save or open your Play file information as well as browse other Play files: Save Save As Open Library Import Export New/Clear Play Browse Another General Notes about HATHOR show files HATHOR saves play files in 3 ways: 1 the most current version ( -------.ppl file extension ) 2 history versions of existing play files( -------.$0** file extension) 3 Auto save version ( -------.
Each time you do a manual save, the previously saved version saved is saved as a history file with an extension of $001, in a unique subdirectory created by HATHOR, for each play file. The new version is saved with the extension PPL. On each subsequent save the 001 file becomes 002, 002 becomes 003 etc. Each of these files has a time and date stamp, so you an "go back" to a previous version if needed.
Save To saves the current play in current file: [SAVE] (console) or (F2) keyboard key or Click on "Changed Data Alert" icon at top of screen (the red disk) or HATHOR menu / File / Save TIP: do manual saves as frequently as possible, it takes less than 1 second, eats no room on the hard disk and offers the possibility to recover any data at any time. Save as To save the current play file under a new file name. Note: editor allows you to also change the Play Name.
Note: an "exported" save is independent of normal saves New/Clear Play New / Clear play is used to start a new playfile or clear data from an existing play file. Play name: Here you can name the play (the show). 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 Choose new play to start with an empty play “New Play” tab offers the choice of creating a new Empty play, or one “Based on Another” (pull down menu that defaults to “Empty”) “Based on another” defaults to a play file that is set under Setup/Preferences/ File storage.
Browse another Browse allows you to access the data from a Play that you do not currently have loaded. You can move content from the Browsed Play into the loaded play by dragging the object from the Browsed Play to the currently loaded play.
You can use the menu system if you choose, but for the vast majority of common use, it is not needed. Dynamic Tables The Dynamic Table is the primitive curve used to create a Dynamic Template or a Dynamic Effect. Combining Dynamic Tables is a quick way to create complex Dynamic Templates or Effects. Example: Create a circle by assigning sine to pan and cosine to tilt. Dynamic Templates The Dynamic template is the pattern of the effect, and is a mathematical function. HATHOR as several prepared templates.
The system supports up to 2000 Groups. Presets This is a specific concept. Frequently used combinations of channels are stored in up to 15000 Presets, for playback in the Main Playback or Virtual Playbacks. The combination of a Preset and a Device Link in a Sequence Step is the equivalent of a "Cue" in many other systems. The advantage here is that Presets can be re-used in any Sequence, with different times.
Devices A device (also named fixture) is a specific object corresponding to a complex instrument controlling more than dimmer(s). A Device will be automatically generated as soon as a Device template is patched on a channel. Gel Strings A Gel String (also named Scroll) is a Scroller Roll designed to be used in combination with Scrollers. The same Gel String can be used with several Scrollers, and also different types of Scrollers. A Gel String is structured in Frames (Colours).
Controllers are windows that access the shows data, and provide interfaces to operate the system. The system can have multiples of all Controllers, each configured for different uses. Select a controller and it will open in a non-docked window on the current monitor. It can then be dragged to whichever monitor you wish, adjusted in size and/or docked Controllers are typically arranged on the HATHOR desktop by docking them on the Subscreens.
FIELD EDITOR HATHOR / Controllers / Field Editor Introduction The Field editor displays a grid of Instruments used for selecting instruments, changing levels and so on. Concept Selected fixtures have a red highlight box around their box. Channels are selected so that you can adjust their levels. Specifically for the following types of devices: Intensity channels: you directly control the intensity level in the Filed Editor.
Channel grid display format Numeric = all channels Packed = channels that are: at a level in A Field + going to a level in B field + selected+ at a level Selected = Selected channels Used = Used in Play ( includes at level and selected ) Locked = prevents currently displayed channels from changing (i.e.
Fields set in Follow mode will all be showing the same Field Content (i.e. Playback, Preset, …). Different Fields set in Follow mode can have different Display modes. A useful combination is to have one Field in "Packed" mode with another in "Selected". Linked Mode The Linked mode allows a large number of channels to span across multiple grids. Linked mode is only available for Field Editors that are in "Follow" mode. Linked mode is active when the button is depressed. i.e.
Once the Tool set is open, it is possible to dock it into the Field Editor window. Just click on the pin icon to dock it.

3.3.1.2 Device Templates Introduction A Device Template is, in other name, a Device definition. It is an organization of attributes (Template Part), including Parameter steps if necessary (Position), with specific settings. Each parameter corresponds internally to one (8 bit) or two (16bit) DMX Channels. So the Device Template is the interface between the Control Channel and the physical fixture, or how to handle several attributes via one control channel.
HATHOR / Data HATHOR / Data / Device templates Importing Devices Templates There are two possibilities for importing Device Templates: From the Factory Templates From another Play file (show) Importing Devices Templates from Factory Templates Right Click in the empty area, below manufacturers folders, and select {Import from Factory Template}. www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 156 Issue 1.
Select a manufacturer, then select a Device Template, and click on the Select soft key to confirm. Importing Devices Templates from another Play File To import a Device Template from a Play File located on a USB key, use the Browse Another command: HATHOR / File / Browse Another Click on Computer to display all the storage devices, and select the USB key.

Eventually pin it (click on the pin close to the cross, upside right corner). click on « Device Templates » to display all the manufacturers. Right click in the empty space in that window, then choose {Insert Sub : Manufacturer Group} in the menu.
Double Click on the new Device Template to open the Device Template Editor. THE DEVICE TEMPLATE EDITOR When creating a Template from scratch, since there is no parameter (no Template part), the window looks as above. By default the Name is “Device Template”, the Kind “Other” and the DMX size “0”. These information are editable in the upper part and in the lower part of the Editor window. Name: the Device Template name, that name will be also used by default for devices in the Instrument Setup Name column.

Scanner, no specific behaviour, a dedicated symbol will be displayed, for information. Moving Head, no specific behaviour a dedicated symbol will be displayed, for information. RGB Mix, for RGB and CMY fixtures, allows use of the Color Picker, and enables the display of mixed colour inside the channel box.
Parameter Settings Short Name is used in Device Control controllers and LCD screens. Parameter Group: the choice will determine how the parameter will be handled by the sytem. Parameter Type: the list of types is directly depending of the Parameter Group. ID: the Identity number for the Parameter. Default Palette group : The Palette group for this parameter. www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 162 Issue 1.

4 / Colour This parameter Group is designed to handle Colour attributes. Colour attributes are generally used with Colour Palette group, except some attributes, which, if not used, can be sorted in “none”. 5 / Beam This parameter Group is designed to handle Focus, Frost, Iris and Zoom attributes. These attributes are generally used with Beam Palette group. Beam Speed, if not used, can be sorted in “none”. 6 / Pattern This parameter Group is designed to handle Gobo, Shutter and Barndoor attributes.
Checked means no time for this attribute in sequence. The value is proportional to the Intensity parameter. The attribute can only be moved to positions. No linear mode. The position name will be recorded instead of the value. The attribute will be not recorded. A curve will be associated to this attribute. "Display value as" lets choice between %, degrees or DMX "Wheel Precision" divides increments on wheel for finer resolution on attribute control.
the result can be that gobos or colours no longer go to the correct position, if Raw DMX values were recorded in the Sequence. Using Position IDs prevents this problem because the Sequence step has a reference, rather than a raw value. Using Position ID is also useful with Scrollers, since after recalibrating the Scroller Gel String, all Device Links in Sequence Steps will be updated.

6. GROUPS Groups are a quick way of selecting channels. 6.1 INTRODUCTION You can store channel combinations into groups. The difference between a Group and a Preset is that a group does not necessarily need levels for the channels involved; by default, only the selected channels are stored. Groups also do not contain moving light attributes. 6.1.1 Group functionality By default only selected channels are stored in a group. Channels can be recorded in the group with levels.
6.1.5 Using the Touch screen facilities First select channels with your finger, then drag the selection into the Groups window, a popup will appear: Choose {Record new Group}, and then you will get a popup where you can write a text label and confirm recording this group. {Record} to confirm. 6.2 WORKING WITH GROUPS You can add and subtract channels that are stored in Groups to/from the current channel selection.

7. LOOKS 7.1 INTRODUCTION Looks are a recording of channels including their intensity levels and their attributes. They are similar to Groups, but with attribute data also included. Channels that do not have intensity levels can be included in a Look, just as with a Group. There is no Time concept in Looks. They are primarily useful for "live" performances, when you wish to be able to bring up pre-recorded fixture settings, but in a non-sequential, spontaneous manner, such as for a musical concert.
[#] [RECORD]&[LOOK], enter a name if needed, change options if necessary then [RECORD] or [ENTER] or [LOOK]. To Record a Look with a specific number DIRECTLY in a Subfader: [#] [LOOK]&[Assign Key] enter a name if needed, change options if necessary then [RECORD] or [ENTER] or [LOOK]. 7.2.2 Using the mouse Drag & drop a selection of channels from the Field Editor to the Look direct access panel and choose {Record New Look} in the local menu.
Note: selects the channels stored in that Look, but does not change Intensity levels, or load attributes and de-select all selected channels. 7.3.2 Playback Looks Look in Subfader: [START]&[ASSIGN Key] or raise the Subfader Fader. Note: Looks on subfaders handle Intensity levels as HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) and attributes as LTP (Last Takes Precedence). If you a Look raised on a subfader, then raise another, the attributes will move to the positions in the 2nd Look.
7.3.3 Using recorded values / Fetch Direct Access Panel / ☞ mode: click on the Look box or touch it to FETCH attribute data from Look for selected channels only. Right Click on a Look Box, in addition to the normal options there is: To copy intensity levels from use {Fetch Levels from Look}.

Add Channels: to add the selected channels with intensities to the current channels. 7.7 EDITING 7.7.
Attributes values are then displayed in a horizontal way, and editable. To display Snap information and Dynamic information, expand the dedicated device. www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 220 Issue 1.
Snap mode The Snap feature, when enabled, excludes attributes involved from Time management. That means they will move in 0 second. When enabled, a new column Spos (Snap position) will be displayed; it corresponds to the relative position (%) where the parameter will jump to the recorded value during the execution of the Look, related to Submaster Time. Example Load a look in a Submaster, assign 10 seconds to that Submaster, and start the Submaster. 0%: the parameter will jump at start.

If "Auto execute Looks on Faders" has been checked (Setup/Preferences/Attributes): as soon as the fader moves above zero, the attributes will move to their positions, they will not fade with the movement of the fader. The Intensity will follow the movement of the fader.
8. PALETTES 8.1 INTRODUCTION A Palette is a kind of specific memory for all or some attributes of a Moving Light. A Palette is mostly designed to record and organize attributes values in order to be used to create Looks and Sequence Steps. In that way, Looks and Sequence Steps are linked to the original Palette used for the recording, and they will be then automatically updated if the Palette itself is modified.
To record a ALL palette with the next free number: First set parameter’s values for selected channels (e.g: PAN & TILT, ZOOM, COLOR WHEEL) [RECORD]&[ALL] You will get a popup where you confirm recording this group, and can write a text label. TIP: before to confirm, there is the possibility to filter inside the attribute group. JUST press the Attribute Group key(s) corresponding to the attributes you want to exclude from recording.
8.3 UPDATE To UPDATE a palette: Use [#] [UPDATE]&[COLOR] Right Click on the Palette button and choose {Update / Add to ### Palette}. Drag the selection into the Palettes window on a Palette button, and choose {Update / Add to ### Palette}. The Confirm Record window will appear. Choose Update to update only original content (Channels and Attributes) Choose Update/Add to add Channels or Attributes to original content 8.
Note: when working with ALL palettes, there is still a possibility of filtering, while holding the [ALL] key and selecting the Attribute Group for valid attributes. e.g.: in palette ALL 3, you just need Colour information. [3] [ALL]&[COLOR] To reset all FOCUS attributes to default values [0] [FOCUS] Note: use same syntax for other group of attributes To reset all attributes to default values [HOME] or [0] [ALL] 8.4.
8.5 DIRECT ACCESS PANEL/FLY OUT PANEL: FEATURES Palettes Right Click on that allows opening the Colour Palettes Editor window {Edit Palette Group Colour}, to open another Colour Palettes Direct Access Panel {Open Direct Access Panel} and, if some channels are selected, to record a new Palette {Create New Colour Palette}. Note: Right Click directly inside the panel, in an empty area offers the same menu. 8.5.
Select All devices in Color Palette #: to select all channels recorded in Colour Palette #. Select devices partly AT Color Palette #: to select channels at less with one parameter matching with attributes recorded in Color Palette #. That feature is useful with ALL Palettes partly used.

9. SEQUENCES AND PRESETS 9.1 PRESETS 9.1.1 Introduction A Sequence is structured in Steps which consists of Presets and Device links. Instruments levels are stored into Presets, attributes and dynamic Effects are stored into Device Links. Presets can be arranged in a list called a Sequence, with predefined fade times. Presets can be modified blind or live. Presets can be copied. You can retrieve individual channel levels from recorded Presets with Fetch.
7 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 EXIT RECORD 1 Preset ID 2 Preset Name 3 Playback selector: click on the button and pick another Playback in the list if needed 4 Records Levels From: Click on the button to choose between Stage or Field or use the [S/F] key. In Field mode you can choose between A field (Live) or B field (Blind). 5 Build Sequence mode: checked by default, Presets are recorded and loaded in the Sequenced attached to the selected Playback.
8 6 Filters: to enable or disable filters, click on the Filters soft button, and then select filters to disable or use [ALL] attribute group key to disable all filters, and then any other attribute group key to enable the dedicated group of attributes. Inside each group of attributes, it is possible to disable or enable specific attributes. 9 6 Recording options: None: no parameter recorded. Only with levels (default mode): only channel with level above 0% will get their attributes recorded.
9.1.2.3 Working in a Subfader Field Note: to record Preset directly from a field with only the content of this field, « Record Stage as default » in the SETUP (Preferences/Channels) should be Unchecked. If « Record Stage as default » is checked the Stage content will be recorded. To record a Preset: Hold the assign key of the Subfader, edit channels and levels, then while holding the assign key, press [#] [RECORD]. You will get a popup where you confirm recording this Preset, and can write a text label.
To update a Preset in the Field Editor of a Subfader: Hold the assign key of the Subfader, edit channels and levels, then while holding the assign key, press [UPDATE]. You will get a popup where you confirm recording this Preset, and can write or edit a text label. Then [UPDATE] again or [ENTER] or click on the icon in the down right corner. Note: In this way, changing levels in the Field Editor of the Subfader will be « LIVE » if the fader is raised above zero. 9.1.3.
Note: in the Sequence Playback window, you will see this text displayed twice, in the Text column as Step Text and in the Content column as Preset Text. 9.2.2.1 Recording a new Preset To record a Preset with the next available free number: [RECORD]. Note: The next available free number is contextual, depending of the position in the sequence.
In & Out Times First check that in [SETUP] Preferences/Playback the « Set Times mode » is on Active. Use the [GO] button, (CTRL) (G) or the GO softkey to execute the Preset on stage, check that you see the content of this Preset in your field Editor (means you’re working in the A Field). Times used for the crossfade are default Times. To set the new same value (#) for In & Out Times: [#] [TIME]. To set a new value (#) for In Time: [#] [TIME] & [B]. To set a new value (#) for Out Time: [#] [TIME] & [A].
For a Step with In time 6 sec and Out time : 8 sec, Follow = 8 sec For a Step with In/Out time: 6 sec, and a Delay in: 3 sec, Follow = 9 sec For a Step with In/Out time: 6 sec, Channel Time: 10 sec, Follow = 10 sec For a Step with In/Out time: 6 sec, Channel Time: 10 sec, Channel Delay: 3 sec, Follow = 13 sec The Follow Time generates an Auto GO and is always set on the second Step. To set a Follow Time: [#] [WAIT] and select Follow in the W column.
To set a particular Delay for one or several channels: Select Channels [#] [CH] & [DELAY]. Note: to change Times for the incoming Step, swap to B field with the [A/B] key, and use the same syntax. Mouse facilities: To set a particular Time for one or several channels: Select Channels Drag&drop the selection to the Sequence Step Select Create New Partfade in the list A new Partfade will be added.
To set a particular Delay for one or several channels and for one attribute Group (e.g. COLOR): Select Channels [#] [COLOR]&[DELAY]. Note: to change Times for the incoming Step, swap to B field with the [A/B] key, and use the same syntax. 9.2.2.3 To insert a Sequence Step Since the system is using a fixed list of Steps, inserting a step will correspond to insert a new “Not recorded” Preset on this selected Step. Click on the Step and use (insert) on the keyboard.
9.2.2.7 To edit a Sequence Step Right Click on any Sequence Step in the sequence and select Edit Sequence Step: Pos #: Preset #. Modify channels levels: the Update button appears in the upper right corner, click on this button and confirm with (ENTER), or use [UPDATE] [UPDATE]. 9.2.3 Sequence and Moving Lights All details relative to moving lights are located into Device Links: Attribute information (values or palettes) Attribute Times Go on Go flags. 9.2.3.
To confirm press [RECORD] again or [ENTER] or click on the icon in the down right corner. Using filters: By default all changed parameters of channels with levels are recorded. To select specific parameters to be recorded: just uncheck the parameters to exclude while using the Attribute Group Key corresponding to those parameters. e.g.: [EXTRA].
historical values in all following Sequence/Steps till a recorded value stops this “track”. Example: In Step 1, Device 1 has a scroller set to frame 1. For steps 2 through 4, there are no values recorded for Device 1, so its scroller remains in Frame 1 In Step 5, Device 1 has its scroller set to frame 4. Then Step 3 is modified, with Device 1 scroller at frame 2 When Update, the "Cue Only" button is included in the record confirmation window.
The Position in the Sequence will be automatically the current one. To update this Sequence Step: [REC POS] To update only some parameters, click on the Filters icon, and uncheck parameters or [ALL] attribute Group to disable all parameters, and then [FOCUS] to enable Pan & Tilt parameters, [COLOR] to enable Colour parameters, and so on. Parameters removed from recording will disappear from the Device Links window.
9.2.3.6 Attribute Times General Facts Attribute Times are defined by default in SETUP / Preferences / Attributes / Default Time. This default Times are used while Recording if the option {Links Times as %} is unchecked. When the option {Links Times as %} is checked: A/ Attribute Times are linked to In/Out Times, but not default crossafde Times, only changed crossfade Times (see 8.3.2.1 In & Out Times). e.g.
To set a new value to one recorded parameter: First activate the corresponding group of parameters. The four push wheels will display assigned parameters. E.g. to assign 4 seconds to parameter “zoom”: [BEAM], have a look to the wheels parameter mapping; let’s say that zoom is controlled by wheel 3.
9.2.3.7 Using the mouse: Drag & drop a Device links Note: This function is extremely powerful and let you choose between Copy or Move, not only a Device Links, but also a part of the Device Link, which can be one or some devices or even one or some parameters of these devices. 9.2.3.8 Move To move a complete Device Links: Drag & drop the Device Links to the target step and choose {Move Device Links to Pos##: Preset ##} in the local menu.

11. SUBFADERS 11.1 INTRODUCTION Subfaders and Fields are different controllers for the same data. The Subfader controller includes a Field Editor channel display (hold down 2 seconds the [ASSIGN] key), so that you can see and edit its content directly. A Submaster is only a controller (Field), not content (object). So the concept is to load content in a controller and to record the main organisation of every Submasters in a PAGE.
To switch to the page 0: [0] [PAGE#] a popup will open « Clear all Fields? », [ENTER] to confirm if you want to clear all the 192 subfaders, [ESC] to cancel. To switch to the page #: [#] [PAGE#] Or press directly [PAGE#] a Fly out window will appear in the Internal Touch Screen, select the page of your choice. Note: Loading a new Subfader Page puts the new content in a pending state if the Subfader is above 0%. When the Subfader is faded to 0% the new information is loaded. 11.
11.6 LOAD / CLEAR To Clear a Subfader [C/ALT] & [ASSIGN Key]. To Clear all Subfaders [0] [PAGE #] confirm with [ENTER]. To Load an object from the Menu Play. Open the object menu, drag & drop the object to the Field/number area and choose (Load XXXX). E .g: in the Menu Play, click on the Tab. E .g.: in the Menu Play, click on the Tab Groups. Drag & drop the Group 1 to the number area of the Field 1 (in the Fields window or in the SUBMASTER screen) and choose the option {Load Group 1} www.adblighting.
11.7 CHANNEL SELECTION Press a Assign key to select all channels in the content of that Subfader, except for Palettes. Precedent selected channels will be deselected. To work with several Subfader’s channels, hold the [+] while selecting Subfaders. Note: precedent selected channels won’t be deselected by an empty Subfader. 11.8 EDITING "Direct Edit Subfader Field": Hold down [ASSIGN key], after 2 seconds the Field Editor will switch display to that Subfader.
Choose between the four modes in one click. 11.11 SUBFADERS AND MOVING LIGHTS 11.11.1 Subfaders and Groups Loading groups of devices into subfaders let you select quickly devices. If channel levels are recorded in groups, device intensities will be always available with faders. It is possible to add groups while holding the [+] key and using assign keys. 11.11.
11.11.4 Subfaders and Presets Note: to record Preset directly from a field with only the content of this field, « Record Stage as default » in the SETUP (Preferences/Channels) should be Unchecked. If « Record Stage as default » is checked the Stage content will be recorded. To record a Preset: Hold the assign key of the Subfader, edit channels and levels, then while holding the assign key, press [#] [RECORD]. You will get a popup where you confirm recording this Preset, and can write a text label.
12. The TRACK WINDOW [TRACK] / CTRL F4 12.1 INTRODUCTION To open the track window: [TRACK]. The Track window always displays Sequence as default object. To select the whole show click on the corresponding icon: To select Groups: To select Looks: To select Presets: To select Sequences: To select Chasers: To select all Executors: To select only Playbacks: To select only Fields: To activate the follow Playback mode: www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 270 Issue 1.
Note: if some channels are selected, those channels will appear in the Track window. To display a selection of channels Just select channels with the usual selecting tools [Ch] [THRU] [+] [-]. To add or remove channels [#] [+] / [#] [-]. To edit level for a channel and one object (Preset, Group, Look). Use the mouse, your finger or navigation keys, enter the value on the keypad then [ENTER], [#] [+] / [#] [-]. To Edit level for a channel on a range of objects (Preset, Group, Look).
12.2 OPTIONS 12.2.1 SlaveSelection Channels displayed in the track window will follow console channel selection. 12.2.2 Sort Channels by number Channels Submaster in the track window will be sorted by number. 12.2.3 Autoselect Ranges Selecting a Channel in a suite of identical levels will automatically select following identical levels (a track), allowing modification for all the range. 12.2.4 Show Owner Text Activating this option adds an “Owner Text” column displaying Step Text (not Content Name).
Example: Sequences, all Sequence steps will be displayed even if channels 1 to 6 are not recorded in some steps (see first screenshot). Match any: will display only Objects owning, at less, one channel in the current selection with a level > O%. In the example below, only some Sequence Steps are displayed, and Sequence Step 11 and 12 are displayed because one of the two selected channels has a level of 40%. Match all: will display only Objects owning all channels in the current selection with a level > O%.
12.2.6 Wizard The wizard is a very powerful tool allowing modifications over a selection of objects for a selection of channels. www.adblighting.com HATHOR User Manual - page 274 Issue 1.
Always select objects to be modified first, with (Shift) and (CTRL) keyboard keys. The count of objects will be displayed in the Target area. To modify all objects, select “All objects in ---“option in the Target area. 12.2.6.1 Increment % Relative increment in % will increase proportionally all levels according to the Relative increment value. 12.2.6.2 Increment @ Absolute increment in % will add the increment value to all levels. 12.2.6.
12.2.6.6 Copy @ In addition to Target objects, this feature requires to select a source. Click in any Channel column to select the source. Source levels will copied to other selected channels. 12.3 THE FOLLOW PLAYBACK MODE This mode is a live mode, quite similar to the Sequence Playback window because it uses same colours for A and B status, but in a different way since it displays only selected channels, without any time information, but with levels and parameters if necessary.
13. DYNAMICS (EFFECTS) 13.1 INTRODUCTION DYNAMICS feature is dedicated to generate dynamic effects for moving lights. Effects are continuously running fades of parameter values, directly in the selected working LIVE field (Master Playback or Submaster), spread among a number of fixtures.
13.3 DYNAMICS ATTRIBUTES It is important to understand the various settings and attributes available within the Dynamic Generator. The simplicity of the engine will be obvious once the five basic functions are understood. 13.3.1 Absolute The absolute mode works regardless off the base value. That exactly means that when using the absolute mode, setting parameter values is useless. The behaviour of the Absolute attribute is depending of the kind of parameter. In general it makes no sense with PAN&TILT.
Absolute mode allows generating some specific dynamics effects independently of the parameters settings. For PAN & TILT parameters the centre for oscillation corresponds to (amplitude in degrees / 2) – Size x amplitude in degrees / 2 : 140 (280 / 2) – 14= 126 (10% of 280 ) / 2 For other parameters the centre for oscillation corresponds to 0% + Size/2. 13.3.2 Speed and RPM When assigning a Table, the Speed is by default at 100% of RPM 15. RPM (Revolution Per Minute) corresponds to 4 seconds for one cycle.
When the base value is set to zero, the sine is executed in the exact corresponding range (-140 / 140° in our example), if the base value is changed for another value, then a part of the curve will be running out of the range of the parameter, during this time, the parameter don’t change (the fixture don’t move) till the curve comes back in the physical working part of the range. 30° > 140° > - 30° > 170 (= 30° out of range) > - 30° During the 30 degrees virtual movement the fixture doesn’t move.
Set the zoom to 20%. The zoom size will change for 70% slowly, then for 20% cut, and so on. 13.3.4 Offset Offset between different parameters inside a Template, example: to create a Circle, it is necessary to have an offset between PAN and TILT. Offset between fixtures corresponds to the starting point of each fixture. That attribute can be used directly in a Device Template, to force the effect to start precisely somewhere instead of zero, or when an effect is running to spread the fixtures. 13.3.4.
If for any reason the fixtures should start moving in the opposite direction, use an Offset value of 50 corresponding to negative values. 13.3.4.2 Live Dynamic Effect Edit An identical Offset value for all fixtures means no Offset between fixtures. All fixtures will move together. That setting can be used as explained above. Offset is displayed in %, and then relative to the number of fixtures. Fixtures can either all start from the same point or be spread among the curve.
13.3.5 Wait Wait is time information in %. So it is relative to the number of fixtures. Each fixture is a part of a full effect revolution. So, divide 100% by the number of fixtures gives the part for each fixtures, e.g. 4 fixtures corresponds to 25% each, 5 fixtures to 20%, 6 to 16,7%. Setting the Wait at 0% means that all fixtures move together, setting the Wait at 100 ##% where ## corresponds to the value of one fixture, means that every fixture will wait a full cycle of every others before moving.
In the dedicated Dynamic Template Editor, Right Click on the new template and select {Insert: Dynamic template Part}. 13.4.3 Editing a Dynamic Template To Edit Dynamic Template: click on the Tab to open the list and Right Click on the Template to edit or select Dynamic Templates in the Data list to open the Editor, then choose the Template to Edit or Right Click on the Device Template to edit in the Direct Access Panel and choose {Edit: Dynamic template xxx}. 13.4.
If, for selected channels, a Dynamic Effect is running, then Attributes values will be displayed on the left side. These Attribute values correspond to the recorded values in the Dynamic Template. The right side information corresponds to the modification rate of the recorded template value. Note: the Wait attribute is never recorded in Template, and then has only one value, in %. Controlling Speed: The Speed value is in RPM. In the example above, the value is 15, so 4 seconds for one cycle.
13.7.1 Using the Keypad to record Palettes To record a palette with the next free number: First set Dynamic Attributes values for selected channels. [RECORD]&[DYNAMIC] You will get a popup where you confirm recording this palette, and can write a text label. Click on the Filter to open filtering options. Select which Attributes Dynamic settings will be recorded in the Palette. To record a palette with a specific number: [#] [RECORD]&[DYNAMIC] 13.7.
13.8 UPDATE To UPDATE a Dynamic Palette: Use [#] [UPDATE]&[DYNAMIC] Right Click on the Palette button and choose {Update / Add to ### Palette}. Drag the selection into the Palettes window on a Palette button, and choose {Update / Add to ### Palette}. The Confirm Record window will appear. Choose Update to update only original content (Channels and Attributes) Choose Update/Add to add Channels or Attributes to original content 13.
14. ACTION LISTS 14.1 INTRODUCTION An Action List corresponds to a string of characters forming a line of commands. These commands can be used to trigger internal Actions (Go, Pause and so on) or external devices with serial commands. There are several types of Action, and for each type a lot of predefined Actions. Predefined Actions are regularly updated, but there is no user Action (user can’t write their own Actions). 14.2 ACTIONS 14.2.
