overview
In stand-alone mode, individual Imagers can be programmed to run a show
of up to 20 scenes without an external controller. This can be done using the
control panel or the optional IR remote control system.
The Imager will run its show in a continuous loop.
Multiple Imagers on a data link all have their own shows individually
programmed, but can have scenes synchronously triggered by a one fixture
on the data link.
About scene timing
Each scene has a dynamic
part - the fade - during which
effects move to the scene’s
programmed positions, and a
static part - the wait - where
effects do not change.
The duration of the fade and
w a i t i s p r o g r a m m e d
individually for each scene.
The fade time may be 0 - 120
seconds; the wait time may be
0 - 12 hours. The total time it
takes a scene to execute is the
sum of the fade and wait times.
When operating multiple fixtures synchronously, the wait time is determined
by the fixture that issues scene change commands. It does this when it
reaches the end of each scene wait time. Every other fixture fades and waits
at the its own rate and then remains in the “wait state” until receiving a start
scene
xx command. When programming in synchronous triggering
situations, keep in mind that in order to keep things as simple as possible
