Pharos Designer User Manual

New in v2.7

Pharos Cloud: Support within Designer to integrate with Pharos Cloud, our new remote site management service.

You can find out more information on Cloud here and how to set up a Cloud Site here.

Pharos EDN: Support for our new 20 port Ethernet DMXNode, a 1U 19" eDMX to DMX converter to provide 20

DMX/RDM ports per unit. The EDN is ideal for larger control projects - it is associated to a controller in the same

manner as a RIO and is seamlessly configured within Designer as part of your patch.

sACN HTP Merge: Support for merging values for DMX In and eDMX Pass-Through from a maximum of two sACN

sources set at the same universe and channel priority.

Direct Colour Preset: Extending the Direct Colour control in Scenes, we now have a Direct Colour preset available

for Timelines. This slider-based control will allow the user to set the specific values of each emitter on an RGBW/A

or other multi-emitter fixtures with more colours than just RGB.

Timeline Audio Output: Stored audio files (and video files containing audio) can be placed on a Timeline for fully

synchronised audio playback utilising all our standard show control functionality, supported via Stereo line out and

SPDIF on the LPC X (R2 only),VLC and VLC+ hardware.

Render Timeline Audio Waveform: Visual indication of the peak data of an audio clip to aid in synchronising the

audio with the desired lighting presets.

IO Module Status Reporting: IO Modules can send status information to the Web Interface and to Cloud. New and

updated modules will be released supporting this functionality.

Manual Unicast Addressing: A new UI for manually specifying unicast addresses for both Art-Net and sACN. This

can either be sent to either a single or multiple IP address for each universe.

Import and Export Universe Properties: Replacing and improving the existing KiNET import, this allows bulk

transfer of universe data such as unicast IP addresses, sACN priorities and other universe settings, as well as

offering the ability to create multiple universes with all their properties in one simple action.

DMX Input Triggering: New DMX input state trigger and new condition to respond to detection or to loss of the

DMX input signal.

DALI Output Actions: Enhancements to DALI integration;

l To further support DALI RGB / Tc we have implemented changes to DALI actions. The Set DALI Output

action can now set any of the following:

l Level

l XY values

l Temperature

l RGBWA values

l The Send DALI Command action now includes option to change last fade time, allowing an update of the last

used fade time easily without having to trigger off an unwanted effect.

Controller API Enhancements: Numerous additions and improvements to the API. These include:

l Add trigger type filtering to controller API

l Include custom properties in timeline data via controller API

l Include custom properties in scene data from controller API

l Get NTP server via controller API query

l Get and set log level and syslog target via controller API

l Get network primary status via API

- 8 -

New in v2.7

l Get replication info with HTTP or JavaScript

l Get Scene's group via API

Designer Enhancements: We continue to make improvements throughout the software, with some of the

highlights in v2.7 including:

l 64-bit Designer for Windows and OS-X

l TPS to run Startup triggers

l Simplify intensity mastering for the VLC

l Improve layout performance at high fixture count

l Preview audio media in Designer

l Support for sACN universe discovery packets

l Add toggle state to Output Digital Action

l force_trigger() function bypasses condition to fire a trigger

l Convert RGBA/W fixtures in library to Hue Tables

l Only display IO Modules that match the controller API of the current version of Designer

Director Enhancements: Continuing development of our city-wide schedule and content management tool, new

features include:

l Translation support

l Chinese (Simplified) language option

l Master intensity applies to entire controller playback

Pharos Designer User Manual

Introduction

Pharos is a comprehensive system with sophisticated features that allow you to make advanced shows. The

Designer 2 software is the tool provided to configure and program the Pharos Controllers, Remote Devices and

Accessories. The Controllers have been designed specifically for the architectural and installation markets and, as

opposed toDMXframe store solutions, offer genuine lighting and show control functionality in an install and forget

housing.

Lighting is programmed on timelines, with a particular timeline having control data for one, some or all the lighting

fixtures being controlled. Multiple timelines are supported and so a single unit can control multiple distinct zones, or

more complex presentations can be programmed with external triggers coming from multiple systems.

The software offers powerful functionality with a simple and intuitive graphical user interface. Most operations can

be performed with mouse clicks (typically left-click for selection and right-click for context sensitive options &

commands) and drag-and-drop. Creating a project is broken down into steps that all have their own tab for an easy

step by step process to setup the system.

- 10 -

Modes Overview

Mode tabs down the left hand side allow you to switch between the Modes by left clicking the tab or use the function

keys (in brackets) to toggle between them. Tabs can be viewed in different windows using the Tear Off options:

Note: Not all modes will be available by default, but will be enabled when relevant. See Project Features for more

details

Project (F1)

In Project, you setup the Project settings such as location and time information, along with the project features that

will be made available.

See Project for reference.

Layout (F2)

In Layout you add fixture to the project, position them on layouts, arrange them in groups or customize their

behaviour.

See Layout for reference.

Mapping (F3)

Mapping allows you to create virtual video screens and map fixtures to pixels of the screen. Here you also import

and manage the media files (either static images or video) which can then be played back on these screens.

See Mapping for reference.

Patch (F4)

In Patch the fixtures are assigned to the connected Controllers (see Network) and assigned to control protocols,

universes and addresses. This step can be skipped during design and only completed during installation.

See Patch for reference.

DALI (F5)

In DALI you patch and define DALI groups & scenes for any DALI ballasts in the project. Unlike DMX fixtures, these

definitions are stored in the DALI ballasts themselves and so the configuration must be uploaded separately from

here.

Only available if Enabled in project properties, a DALIballast is added to a layout, or a RIO D is added to the project.

See DALI for reference.

Scene (F6)

In Scene, you can create single effects on any fixture within the project. These Scenes can be used later within

Timelines or played back individually using triggering.

See Scene for reference.

- 11 -

Pharos Designer User Manual

Timeline (F7)

Timeline is where you create and edit the timelines that make up your presentation. Each fixture or group of fixtures

is a row of the timeline and you can drag-and-drop from an extensive range of Built-in intensity and colour effects, as

well as placing Scenes, Media and DALI presets.

See Timeline for reference.

Interface (F8)

Interface allows you to create the Interfaces that are displayed on a TPC.

Only available if Enabled in project properties, or a TPC is added to the project.

See Interface for reference.

Trigger (F9)

In Trigger you connect your programming with the real world. At its most basic you can define which timeline to begin

on startup but for more complex environments with external triggers you can define a detailed script, even

incorporating conditions if necessary.

See Trigger for reference.

Simulate (F10)

Simulate allows you to view a representation of your project in Layout format. You can play individual timelines to

check your programming then run the whole project including triggers. A set of buttons allow you to simulate external

triggers in order to test your programming properly.

See Simulate for reference.

Network (F11)

This is where you manage your Pharos hardware, assigning connected Real Controllers to the Controllers in your

project, configuring their input/output interfaces and any connected Remote Devices.

See Network for reference.

- 12 -

User Interface

The software has been designed to present a consistent graphical user interface and so it is worth familiarising

yourself with the layout of a typical window before proceeding further:

Main Toolbar

The main toolbar persists across all software modes and allows you to see any Issues in your project, access the

Undo and Redo buttons and provides access to the Main Menu.

Issues

The Issues browser will display any problems with the project file and take you to the location where the issue can

be fixed. The location of an issue is indicated within the software with the Issues icon .

Help

The Software Help can be accessed using the Help icon on the main toolbar.

Undo/ Redo

The Undo and Redo buttons can be used to step through the last 20 actions completed within Pharos Designer.

- 13 -

Pharos Designer User Manual

Main Menu

The Main Menu allows access to the following options:

l Save Project - Save the show file with the current file name

l Save Project As - Save a copy of the project file with a new name

l Archive Project - Save a copy of the project file as a .archive.pd2 file

l Upload

l Audio Viewer

l Timecode Viewer

l Output Viewer

l Controller Log Viewer

l About

l Exit - Close PharosDesigner

Mode Tabs

The application is divided into eleven Modes which can be selected by clicking on the appropriate tab.

See the Quick Start overview for a brief description of each Mode and the relevant Reference section for more

details.

Tear Off Views

All tabs can be torn off so that multiple Modes can be seen at once. This is particularly useful for the Timeline and

Simulate Modes.

To tear of a tab either:

l

Hover over the view tab until the tear off icon appears, move your cursor over this icon and left-click. The

selected Mode will appear in a separate window.

l Click on a Mode tab and drag off the right side of the Mode tab bar. The selected Mode will appear in a second

window.

Note: The currently open Mode cannot be torn off

Mode Toolbar

The view toolbar is populated with tools and options relevant to the Mode which is being worked in. See the relevant

Reference section for more details.

- 14 -

User Interface

Browser

The browser is common to many views and provides the primary interface for selecting, viewing and grouping

fixtures in the project. The rows of the browser are then used for Designer's timeline programming interface. Some

Modes (Project, Interface, Trigger, Simulate and Network) have no browser since fixture selection is not relevant.

Scroll bars will appear as required and the browser can be made wider by dragging the right hand border.

Browser Toolbar

The Browser toolbar provides controls for expanding and collapsing groups and compound fixtures as well as for

creating Groups and Pixel Matrices.

Object Tabs

Most of the Modes within Designer have multiple objects that can be opened at once, such as Layouts, Timelines

and Interfaces.

The exceptions are Network and Trigger, which affect the whole project and don't have separate objects within

them.

The tabs can be navigated by selecting them in the Tab bar. They can be closed using the close button within the

tab. This doesn't delete the object, it can be reopened from the Manage button on the Mode Toolbar.

Main Workspace

The Main workspace is the central portion of the Designer window and is where most project work is carried out.

Each view uses the main workspace in a different way, so see the relevant Reference section for more detail.

Configuration Area

Depending on the Mode and items selected, context-sensitive configuration or control pane(s) will appear here for

fast and convenient editing.

Multiple Instances

It is possible to open multiple instances of Designer so that two projects can be worked on at the same time.

This can be done by opening a Designer 2 project from the operating system when Designer 2 is already open, or by

selecting to open Designer 2 again.

If necessary one of these instances can be Designer v1.x.x.

Note: You cannot open the same project in multiple instances of Designer 2.

Copying Between Instances

When you have multiple instances of Designer 2 open, you can copy elements from one project to the other:

l Fixtures

l Timeline Presets

Notes For Mac OS X Users

Unless otherwise noted, keyboard shortcuts on Mac OSX are the same as Windows, except Ctrl is replaced with

⌘ . Shift and Alt work as described for Windows.

Within Layout, Scene and Simulate, you can use Scroll gestures to move around the Plan.

Pharos Designer makes a good deal of use of the two button mouse with right-click being used to invoke context-

sensitive dialogs. As the majority of Mac users have only a single button mouse they must hold Ctrl while clicking to

get this functionality.
