Pan and Tilt Parameters
The Technospot fixture has a 540° pan range and a 245° tilt range. Two DMX channels provide
16-bit adjustment to a fraction of a degree for pan and tilt position.
Note:
Optical encoders for pan and tilt instantly correct the fixture’s position if the
fixture is jarred from its programmed position. If a physical obstruction
prevents the fixture from correcting its position, the fixture “times out” to
prevent wear on the motors. If the fixture has timed out, remove the
obstruction and home the fixture to return it to normal operation.
Color Parameters
CMY color mixing is achieved using three sets of color flags (Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow). A fixed
color wheel provides an additional eight factory selected dichroic color filters.
Color Mix Function
This parameter determines how the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags move.
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow
These three parameters determine the

, and
Yellow
color flag position and
movement speed depending on the

parameter value you select.

Pure Mix
Allows color flag movement from open (white) to saturated color.
48-63 Cycle
Uses the color-mixing Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags to cycle colors
from red to green to blue at variable speeds (rate set by Cyan DMX channel).
64-79 Random
Performs a pseudo-random color chase of factory-selected colors using the
Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color flags at variable speeds (rate set by Cyan
DMX channel).
