Studio Color LCD Controller Using the Construct Keys 3-11

Lens 1 Key
See also “Lens 2 Key” on page 3-16. The two Studio Color
effects wheels are controlled by the Lens 1 and Lens 2
constructs. Each wheel has four positions (three effects plus
open). The three effects positions include beam shaping plus
one other effect. Construct values of 0 and 255 select the
open position; the other positions are described below.
Lens 1 has the following effects:
• Beam shaping: A long, narrow beam rotates into a
short, fat beam. Construct values between approximately
100 (39%) and 220 (86%) select beam shaping.
• Wide angle: The “effect” position is wide angle, or a
large beam diameter with defined edges. Values below
approximately 100 (39%) select the wide angle filter.
Note The transition time of this construct is set using the
XFade construct as described in the section titled
“Xfade Key” on page 3-14.
Flip
The flip feature causes the fixture head to “flip” and the yoke
to rotate so the fixture hits the same spot, but with different
pan and tilt values. This feature is useful to avoid a stop
during beam movement.
A stop occurs whenever you try to rotate the yoke more than
370°. The stop is a mechanical device that prevents cables
inside the fixture from wrapping too tightly. So the flip in
effect “skips” the stop by reorienting the fixture.
To program a flip, first press the Address keys of all the
fixtures you want to flip, then press the
<Flip>
key.
