MODE FIVE: 6 CH Indexing – 16 bit resolution - Forward Control
16-Bit or high resolution indexing provides very fine position control over
the orientation of the gobo but requires 1 extra control channel per gobo
to accomplish this. In 8-bit resolution, each point of DMX value changes the
position of the gobo by 1.45-degrees. (370-degrees / 255 values of DMX).
When projected over long distances, this 1.45-degree step can make for very
coarse gobo position control. In 16-Bit, high resolution, each 1.45-degree step
is further divided by 255 points of DMX. With this additional channel of preci-
sion, the gobo position can be adjusted within 0.005-degrees!

Indexing
To program in 16-bit resolution, Channels 1 control speed and direction of
Gobo A. Channel 3 sets the coarse position of Gobo A. Channel 4 sets the fine
position of Gobo A (precisely adjusting the coarse point set by Channel 3).
Channels 2, 5, & 6 similarly control Gobo B.
