The RoboScan Pro 518 supports tracking and vector mode and 8 and 16 bit pan/tilt resolu-
tion. The 3 DMX modes and the channel requirements for each are shown below. The cor-
rect mode will depend on your programming preferences and your controller’s abilities.
In tracking mode, movement speed is determined directly by the controller’s fade time.
In vector mode, speed is determined by a value programmed on a separate DMX channel.
For smooth movement in vector mode, the controller’s fade time must be set to 0, i.e., the
position must bump from the current value to the next. If the RoboScan Pro 518 is set to run
vector mode, tracking mode can be enabled by programming the speed channels to 0.
With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, pan and tilt are divided into 256 positions. Finer position con-
trol is possible with 16-bit pan/tilt resolution, which divides each position into smaller
increments.
