Luminaire Timing
Timing Channel Information
Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. We provide up to
four timing channels, one for focus (Pan and Tilt), one for color parameters, one for beam parameters,
and one for gobo wheel position (spot version only).
Types of timing control:
•
Timing Control Channel: the luminaire uses its timing channel value to calcu ate smooth
continuous movement for a given time and transition.
•
Console Timing: the console calculates the time duration between the DMX increments to be sent
for a given time and transition.
Guidelines:
•
Timing channels support time values of up to six minutes.
•
To use a timing channel instead of console timing, it i necessary to set the timing channel to the
desired value and set cue and/or parameter time to zero A combination of time controls can
produce unexpected results.
•
The default value setting in the profile should e 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth
movement when using console timing.
•
The timing channel data should chan e as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest move,
however, without any smoothing this can appear "steppy" in console timed moves.
Note:
Some parameters have been excluded from the timing channels. Wheel spin and gobo rotation
rate changes are not affected by timing channels.
