Control of Position, Gel and Fan Speed
The fast control gives standard operation of the colour changer,
but with the Gel speed controlled by DMX address 510 and the
Fan speed controlled by DMX address 511. This is designed for
where the lighting operator needs overall control of the fans and
scrolls, but without the need to individually select each Colour
Changer. For example, in rehearsal where the designer is moving
quickly between states, the gel speed of the complete rig can be
easily limited on a single fader to avoid all the scrollers jumping
from state to state. In the same way, the fan speeds may be
controlled for when total silence is required during a section of
a show.
DMX Address 510 @ 00 Max Speed
FF Slowest Fade
DMX Address 511 @ 00 Fans Full On
FF Fans Off
The gel speed control follows an exponential curve, allowing fine
tuning of cues at faster times, but allowing very long stepless cues
to be executed.
For control consoles whose patch is limited to less than 512
dimmers, an internal jumper can be set such that the speed and
fan addresses are 191 / 192.
'Fast'
Frame-by-Frame Control
Fast
control setting can be used in frame-by-frame mode by
setting the Frame selector to the number of frames in the gel
string. Fan and Gel Speed control are as above.
