Setup- (4) mini mac maestro's on downstage truss flown 27' above stage mixed in with conventionals. Using Elation DMX Operator Pro (I know...I know... take it easy ) simply for use with my movers and a separate controller for my conventionals.
Purpose- to prevent re-focusing of conventional lighting outside of general stage wash. Using the 4 fixtures to rotate positions during show from CS to SL and SR per cue.
Issue: I want to move my 4 fixtures highlighting a fixed position from SL to CS, or from SR to CS with my shutter closed so that beams of light don't track from one position to the next. But when I program in the shutter closed as say scene 2, and then scene 3, and then open at the new position for scene 4, the shutter opens and the light tracks from the old position.
Is this just a simple fix with adjusting the profile of the fixture to have a blackout as fixture moves? I am terrible with programming of moving lights. Any tips would help. Thanks in advance!
