Effects

Dimming and strobe
The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant
open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in
which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.
Fine control of the dimmer is available on channel 3 in extended mode.
Cyan, Magenta and Yellow
Cyan, magenta and yellow can be added on channels 3, 4 and 5 (4, 6 and 8 in extended mode). Fine
control is available on channels 5, 7 and 9 in extended mode.
Color wheel
The color wheel has 8 color filters that can scroll continuously, allowing split colors, or in full-color steps. The
DMX protocol provides commands for random and continuous color scrolling at different speeds.
Fine control of the color wheel is available on channel 11 in extended mode.
Rotating gobos
The rotating gobo wheel (gobo wheel 1) has six gobos that can be selected, indexed (positioned at a
programmed angle), rotated continuously, and shaken (bounced). The gobo wheel can also be scrolled
continuously. These features are controlled on channel 7 (12 in extended mode). Index angle or rotation
speed is set on channel 8 (13 in extended mode), with fine control available on channel 9 (14 in extended
mode).
Static gobos
The static gobo wheel (gobo wheel 2) has nine static gobos and can be scrolled continuously (allowing split
gobo effects) or in full-gobo steps using channel 10 (15 in extended mode). Random gobo scrolling and
continuous gobo wheel rotation can also be set at different speeds.
Gobo/color macros
Channel 11 (16 in extended mode) provides pre-programmed variable-speed macros that use different
combinations of color and gobos.
Gobo animation
The gobo animation system is designed to create animated effects such as rising flames or windswept
clouds when combined with other gobos.
Channel 12 (17 in extended mode) sets the animation wheel’s rotation mode (indexed or continuous), and
start position.
Channel 13 (18 in extended mode) sets the wheel’s:
• index angle if indexed rotation is selected on channel 12 (17 in extended mode)
• rotation speed and direction if continuous rotation is selected on channel 12 (17 in extended mode).
Prism and iris
On channel 14 (19 in extended mode), the prism can be added and rotated clockwise and counterclockwise
at varying speeds.
