• The Preset page is shown to the left. This enables the user to choose which preset they would like for their venue. Note, these are venue specific and set up according to your specification.
• Individual Control enables users to select a specific mechanism and move it to a different position. The mechanism position can also be saved to presets, allowing the user to customise their own presets. Banners can also be renamed.
• Group Control allows the user to move multiple mechanisms at the same time. This can be viewed as either a percentage movement, or as a distance movement.
