MAC Ultra Wash User Guide
Effects
This section gives details of the effects available in the MAC Ultra Wash. See the DMX protocol table on
page 22 for a list of channels and commands used to control the effects via DMX.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or
MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control
byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.
Shutter and strobe effects
The fixture’s electronic shutter effect provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular or random
strobe and pulse effects with variable speed from approx. 1 Hz to 20 Hz.
Dimming
Smooth 0-100% overall dimming is available with 16-bit control resolution. Four dimming curves are
available (see Figure 3 on page 16).
