Default Trigger – Menu
This script is triggered from the ‘Scripts’ menu. The script is designed to allow a preset in Preset Documentation to be automatically photographed be telling the grandMA2 console what to do. To use the script you will need to be connected to the console (grandMA2 Telnet) and connected to a camera. Select the preset in the preset list (in Preset Documentation), then run the script. It will then select all the channels on the console with their ‘Auto’ photograph checkbox checked in MLA and recall the preset. It will then take a preset photograph. It will then turn all the channels off and then step through each channel one at a time, turning it on and taking a channel photograph.
There are a couple of variables you can edit in the script to configure how the script runs…
delayPrePhoto = 2
This variable is the delay in seconds between the lights being recalled and the photo being taken. Some fixtures may take longer to get into position, so you may wish to make this longer.
recallFromCue = true
When this variable is set to true, the channels will be recalled from the focus cue of the channel. If no focus cue is available, it will just recall the preset.
whitePreset = "4.1"
When the recallFromCue is used, the channels are likely to end up in the colour from the cue. If you specify the preset identifier of your white colour preset, it will be recalled before the photos are taken.
