28 Martin ® ELP PAR User Guide
Effects
See ‘ DMX protocol ’ on page 34 for a full list of the DMX channels and values
required to control the different effects.
Shutter effect
The electronic ‘shutter’ effect provides instant open and blackout, variable
speed regular and random strobe.
Dimmer
Overall intensity can be adjusted 0-100% using smooth continuous
electronic dimming with 16-bit control resolution.
Custom colors
The fixture offers an RGB color mixing interface with 16-bit resolution. Colors
are obtained using RGBW LED output.
Color wheel effect
Besides color mixing, the ELP PAR features a virtual color wheel effect with
48 preset colors. The virtual color wheel also provides variable speed color
scrolling and random colors.
Note that DMX commands sent on the virtual color wheel channel override
DMX commands sent on individual RGB color channels. This means that if
you want to use RGB color control on DMX channels 4
– 9, the color wheel
effect on channel 10 must be set to a DMX value from 0 to 10 (open
position).
Color Temperature Control
The ELP PAR ’s CTC channel lets you vary the color temperature of the
fixture’s white output from 1800 K to 12 850 K. The default color temperature
is 6000 K (which corresponds to DMX value 118 on the CTC channel).
If the fixture cannot reach some low CTC values, it clips at the lowest
achievable value (for example, DMX values 0-28 all give a color temperature
of 1800 K).
Note that CTC is disabled if you put the fixture into raw mode.
Zoom
Zoom control via DMX lets you vary the field (one-tenth peak) angle from
5.6° to 57.6° and beam (half-peak) angle from 4.2° to 35.4°.
