5. PL3 Luminaire DMX Timing Channel Detail
Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. The PL3 LED Luminaire provides
two timing channels in 16-bit mode (one for intensity time and one for color time) and one timing channel in 8-bit
(color and intensity timing combined). The luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a smooth continuous
operation for a given time and transition.
Guidelines:
• Timing channels support time values from zero to 169 seconds.
• To use a timing channel instead of console timing, it is recommended to set the timing channel to the desired value
and set cue and/or console cue fade time to zero. A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results.
• The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth operation when using
console timing.
• The timing channel data should change as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest operation, however, without
any smoothing this can appear "steppy" in console timed moves.
