Beam Shaping
The Lens 1 and Lens 2 constructs (corresponding to the two
Studio Color effects wheels) control beam shaping. Each
effects wheel has four positions (three effects plus open).
The three effects positions include beam shaping plus one
other effect, as described below:
Lens 1 (see “Lens 1 Key” on page 3-11):
• Beam shaping: A long, narrow beam rotates into a
short, fat beam.
• Wide angle: The “effect” position is wide angle—a
large beam diameter with defined edges.
Lens 2 (see “Lens 2 Key” on page 3-16):
• Beam shaping: A long, narrow beam rotates into a
short, fat beam.
• Frost: The “effect” position is frost—soft,
undefined beam edges.
Random and Synchronized Effects
Unsynchronized (random) effects mean different fixtures are
doing different things (“strobing” and/or changing colors) at
the same time. These built-in effects require no additional
programming.
Random (Unsynchronized) Effects
• Shutter strobing: Fixtures “strobe” at rates you set. See
“Gate Key” on page 3-9.
• Random color changes: Fixtures rapidly “snap” to
colors at rates you set. See “Color Key” on page 3-15.
Synchronized Color Changes
Smooth crossfading between colors at rates you set. See
“Color Key” on page 3-15.
