1. 7 HOW THE DMX LEVELS WORK PAN AND TILT positions velocities are derived from a single DMX channel per axis There is no need for separate velocity sliders due to advanced velocity prediction software If you wish to move the pan at a specific velocity get the controller to do a cross fade chase from a scene containing the start position to a scene containing the finish position COLOUR position velocity is also derived directly from a single DMX channel The first 70 of the colour slider allows for scrolling of the wheel If level 255 is selected the colour wheel will scroll from one end to the other automatically On the fixtures with combined colour GOBO wheels the top half of this slider will slot back through the combined Gob s and colours for high speed use The final 30 of this slider is used for the variable speed strobe The very top of the slider puts the head into a sound activated strobe This is a popular feature normally only available when heads are in local mode On the fixtures with separate colour and GOBO wheels the final 30 contains slotted positions for each colour for high speed use This makes it easier to obtain hole colours using the slider and also the head will respond quicker to these positions GOBO WHEEL non rotating series The first 70 contains 14 slotted positions from shuttered then clear to the last GOBO The top 30 of this slider is used for the variable speed strobe The very top of the slide2.
