151 151  In order to control DMX fixtures on a Pharos controller with ShowRunner™, it is necessary to make sure that the ShowRunner™ configuration has the correct settings for the Pharos controller. Under the "LightingControllers" section of the ShowRunner™ configuration, locate the entry for the Pharos controller. Under the "Properties" section, verify that the "IpAddressOrHostname" matches the IP address or hostname of the Pharos controller. The "ApiPort" only needs to be changed if the HTTP port for the Pharos controller's web server has been changed from the default 80. Once the Properties for all Pharos controllers have been updated, load the configuration to the processor.

198 -* Since Scene Mapping will directly trigger Pharos Timelines, any Pharos fixture that is part of the Timeline will be affected

201 -* If Scene Tracking is configured for a ShowRunner™ Area, then recalling //any// Scene on the Area will release (stop) //all// Timelines that are associated with the Area before triggering any new Timelines associated with the Scene
202 -** If the Scene being recalled does not have any Timeline  associated with it, any Timelines associated with the area are still released
203 203  * Scene recalls are still executed even if Scene Tracking is enabled
204 204  ** Non-DMX loads in an area with Scene Tracking will still go to their predefined scene levels unless they are excluded from the scene
