Notes:
Default Values: *Denotes recommended console default settings.
48 Prism Diverge 0 - 255 0 - 100% 0
Controls spread of prism image from small (DMX 0) to wide (DMX 255).
Note : there are some diverge positions that will not be available due to
various lensing positions.
49 Frost 0 - 255 0 - 100% 0
Controls frost mechanism. Linear control from No Frost (DMX 0) to Full
Frost (DMX 255).
50 Strobe Speed 0 - 255 0 - 100% 0 Controls strobe rate from slowest (DMX 0) to fastest (DMX 255)
51 Strobe Control 0 - 255 0 - 100% 0
Control Channel for strobing functions.
0 - 5 = Open
6 - 10 = Closed
11 - 15 = Normal Strobe
16 - 20 = Random Strobe
21 - 25 = Random Sync
26 - 255 = Reserved Values
52 Focus Timing 0 - 255 0 - 100% 255
Allows for luminaire timing of pan and tilt mechanisms. Profile should
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
53 Optics Timing 0 - 255 0 - 100% 255
Adjustment of fixture timing to control lensing mechanisms. Profile
should default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
54 Color Timing 0 - 255 0 - 100% 255
Allows for luminaire timing to control color mechanisms. Profile should
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
55 Beam Timing 0 - 255 0 - 100% 255
Allows for luminaire timing to control beam shaping mechanisms. Profile
should default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
56 Gobo Timing 0 - 255 0 - 100% 255
Allows for luminaire timing to control gobo mechanisms. Profile should
default to DMX 255 for smoothest console timing.
57 Control 0 - 255 0 - 100% 0
To execute a command, the control channel must be set to idle (DMX 0)
then changed to a particular value and held for 3 seconds then restored
to DMX 0. Upon completion of this routine, the desired command will be
executed by the luminaire.
Used to strike/douse the lamp, set lamp levels, and other various func-
tions, as well as resetting the luminaire via the console. DMX values are:
0 - 5 = Idle (Default)
6 - 10 = Full Luminaire ReCal
(1)
(1) This command is also used to Wake fixture up from shutdown
11 - 15 = Lamp ON
16 - 20 = Lamp OFF
21 - 25 = Fixture Shutdown (for more information, see
“Fixture Shut-
down” on page 44 )
26 - 30 = Display - Menu ON
31 - 35 = Display - Menu OFF
36 - 40 = ReCal Position
41 - 45 = ReCal Color
46 - 50 = ReCal Gobo
51 - 55 = ReCal Beam
56 - 60 = ReCal Optics
61 - 65 = ReCal Dimmer/Strobe
66 - 70 = Reset Fixture to Defaults
71 - 75 = Full Luminaire Reboot
(2)
(2) This command will douse lamp and reset all processors in fixture,
then ReCal all parameters.
76 - 80 = Fixture Status On/Off (3)
(3) This command will enable the display to
show fixture status for 5 min. After this time, displays will return
to default configuration. Repeating this command in less than 5
minutes will behave as a toggle.
81 - 85 = Standard Mode - Fixture operates at maximum output (Default)
86 - 90 = Studio Mode - Reduced output with lower fan settings
91 - 255 = Reserved Values
