Update Internal Visualiser

Info

When fixtures are first patched, their position data is not sent to Titan — only their patch (universe/address) and mode. Use Update Internal Visualiser afterwards to bring the fixture positions from the MVR file into your showfile.

Update Internal Visualiser Window

This shows the offset between each fixture's MVR position and its current Titan position. The Capture Visualiser in this state can be seen in Fig A, in Result in Capture Visualiser below.

The top of the window displays the showfile you have selected.

3D Wireframe View

Below this is a 3D wireframe view, showing a basic representation of the fixture positions that are about to be set up.

Key

Symbol	Description
Orange cross	The showfile position — the position assigned by Titan when patched, or a previously set up visualiser position
Dotted line	The offset from the MVR position

Fixture Summary

Below the wireframe, a summary label displays:

• How many fixtures are matched to the showfile
• How many fixture positions have been set
• How many fixtures are missing or mismatched

Information Table

Below the fixture summary is a table containing all of the information for each fixture, along with the offsets required to match their positions and rotations between the showfile and the MVR file.

Column	Description
Name	The fixture name
U / Addr	The universe and address of the fixture
MVR X	The X position as defined in the MVR file
MVR Y	The Y position as defined in the MVR file
MVR Z	The Z position as defined in the MVR file
Titan X	The X position as set in Titan
Titan Y	The Y position as set in Titan
Titan Z	The Z position as set in Titan
ΔPos (m)	The positional offset between the MVR and Titan positions
MVR RX	The X rotation as defined in the MVR file
MVR RY	The Y rotation as defined in the MVR file
MVR RZ	The Z rotation as defined in the MVR file
Titan RX	The X rotation as set in Titan
Titan RY	The Y rotation as set in Titan
Titan RZ	The Z rotation as set in Titan
Status	Indicates whether the fixture positions have been synced

Once the Update All From MVR button is pressed, the offset lines in the wireframe view change to reflect the updated positions, as the Titan fixtures have now been moved to match the MVR. As you can see, the origins are inverted on the Y axis when merged — this is the default behaviour, but can be disabled by checking the Disable 180 Y Rotation checkbox at the bottom of the window.

Once you press Save to Showfile, a duplicate of the showfile will be stored with MVR Positions as a prefix. The Capture Visualiser in this state can be seen in Fig B, in Result in Capture Visualiser below.

tip

MVR Fixture Importer will never overwrite a showfile.

Result in Capture Visualiser

Before Update Internal Visualiser is used, fixtures appear in Titan's own Capture Visualiser at their patched-in default positions.

Fig A

After opening the showfile saved by Update Internal Visualiser, fixtures appear in Capture Visualiser at their correct positions from the MVR file.
