So the other day I replace one of our VL3500 spots with a spare, the original light was having variable issues through many shows & replacing it was a last resort. After hanging the new unit I noticed that the pan was off center, I tried re-homing it but it was still off by about three degrees which is about a foot or two difference on stage. I'm totally familiar with the ins & outs of this light & I was wondering if there is a way to adjust the pan calibration on the light itself. This would be the best solution so I don't have to edit the show file directly.
If not the next option is to edit the show file on the theater's ETC Ion. I'm familiar with the basics of this console but I'm not sure if there's a better way to address the issue aside from editing each cue the light is used in. My main question is, is there a way on the console to update the pan home, or a way to add three degrees to the moving light's pan in all the cues it's used in on top of the current values. I was told there was a way to update the focus pallet which might solve this issue, but I'm not sure if all three of the moving lights use the same pallet.
I hope there is a simple solution to this headache of a problem, I'd rather not have to add three degrees to the 70+ cues in the show that the light is used in.
Thanks in advance!
