DESCRIPTION

Show management implemented on On-board Memory and relative utility
From this new software version, the Pilot 3000 internal operating architecture has been changed. In the previous structure, the Pilot 3000 software required the constant presence of a Memory Card for writing and reading the data regarding the Current Show (SHOW FILE) on which one was working.
Now the data of the show current and fixture library are stored on the on-board memory of the Pilot 3000, thus enabling to work without a compact flash card. The compact flash card is used exclusively as a mass memory for show backup.

The "Fan" function has been implemented
From this software Release a new programming tool is available, called "Fan".
Fan enables to generate progressive "fan-type" variations of a given parameter (e.g. colour Magenta) on a series of several Fixtures.

New Controller Playback modes
In the current software version, the management of the controllers has been expanded:
1. The Group Master mode has been implemented to attenuate the lighting level of one or more groups of Fixtures.
2. The Manual Cue mode has been completely upgraded. The slider now controls the crossfade between the status current of the console and the scene stored on the slider itself, allowing to gradually modify scenes being played out without any nasty glitches.

Control via MIDI functions have been implemented
Pilot 3000 can now be controlled by means of MIDI communication protocol.
This function is very useful when scene playback has to be controlled by means of musical instruments, software or units using MIDI protocol as standard.

Snapshot and Controller storage mode implemented
Other two new Cue storage modes (Snapshot and Controllers) have been introduced with this software version, this adding greater programming flexibility.

CMY colour Palettes implemented for Gel libraries
From this Software version, all the configured fixtures that use a CMY or RGB colour-changing system can use four different sets of colour palettes:

- Rosco
- Lee
- Gam
- Chris & James

Separate "RELEASE" commands for Controllers and Registers implemented
With this Software Release, separate systems for the total release of the Registers and the Controllers have been implemented.

Attribute inversion implemented
Pilot 3000 is now able to control Fixtures with inverted Attributes.
This is possible by setting the values Min and Max of an Attribute in the *.fxr file as 100% and 0% respectively. Very useful for easier control of fixtures that have their dimmer open at 0% and closed at 100%.

The "Read" function has been implemented
The new "Read" function enables to import the current values of DMX output for all the Fixtures selected directly to the Editor.
