The Preview in Lightkey

101 Lighting Lighting Console Configuration

Description

Preview mode lets you build a 2D layout that mirrors your physical lighting rig. This visual representation simplifies programming by showing fixture placement, direction, and type, making it easier to identify and control what’s happening on stage.

Building the Preview Layout

  • Drag-and-Drop Fixtures: Arrange lights to match real-world positions.

  • Add Trusses and Labels: Use shapes and text to group and organize areas like flown rigs or floor units.

Fine-Tuning Accuracy

  • Beam Direction & Rotation: Match your fixtures’ orientation and pan/tilt direction for realistic previews.

  • Color Representation: Set accurate beam colors for non-color-mixing fixtures like Source Fours.
