Pan/tilt
The mirror pan and tilt functions are proportional with automatic speed sensing
- if you move the control fast, the mirror will move fast; if you move the control
slowly, the unit will follow slowly and smoothly.

Rotation and Swivel
Units with rotation functions have a “stop” position at the centre of the DMX
control (value 128), with rotation speed increasing anticlockwise as you go
down the control or clockwise as you go up the control. There is also a “stop”
position at the maximum and minimum values.
The “

Swivel” function allows you to twist the mirror drum through 220

degrees, providing some amazing beam movements.
The MoonRay has two rotation functions, the mirror drum and an internal
mirror dish. Channel 2 is the drum rotation, the internal dish rotation is
controlled by the central part of channel 4.

Colour
The colour function is also proportional; this allows you to perform smooth
crossfades between colours. To obtain correctly positioned colours you need to
send the correct DMX values (the unit does not ‘snap’ to the colours). Many
controllers can ‘learn’ these values. The Abstract controllers are pre-
programmed with them.

On the Futurescan 1, Gladiator Revolution, Twister 4, MoonScan,

MoonRay, gobos are permanently fixed to the colours. You cannot select them
separately.

Gobo (Club range & Galactic Star only)
These units also crossfade between gobos. This allows you to “fade out” the
light by moving the control slowly from Open to Blackout. To obtain correctly
positioned gobos, you need to send the correct DMX values to the unit.

If you move the control to the top end of its range (about 80%) you will enter
the ‘strobe zone’. The unit will strobe slowly (about one flash per second) at
80%, up to full speed strobe (about 8 flashes per second) at 100%.

Note: Except for the Galactic Star, the gobo wheel is used to

produce the strobe effect, so you cannot strobe on a gobo. The

Galactic Star can strobe on any setting if you use the Shutter

channel to control the effect.

If  you move the control to zero, the unit will black out.
