To enable uniform dimming manually via faders for all light mixing consoles, 5 different settings
for the DMX smoothing are available. If the DMX signal is interrupted or too few packets are sent
on some DMX consoles, this channel can be used to adjust the response of the headlamp. The
Minimum DMX Smoothing setting should work on most popular consoles. The values for DMX
smoothing must be permanent.
For the other values such as Cooling Mode, Color Temperature ....... the values must be present
for 2 seconds, then the device is permanently switched over. The exception is the setting of the
COOLING-MODE, here it depends on the switch SAFE MODE SWITCH, if it is on OFF the COO-
LING-MODES can be switched directly, if this is ON the DIMMER and SHUTTER must get the
DMX-value 0. Only then can be switched.
5.1.6 Control channel
This channel gives the Sparx 12 its name. This can be used to create unique effects in conjunction
with the zoom and dimmer. Depending on the intensity, the lighting field is split into its base
colours, i.e. the individual LEDs for full colours are dimmed in/out, mixed colours split into their
base colours or the effect is performed with neutral colour depending on the sparkle speed
channel's setting. The sparkle speed channel can also be used to select where the sparkle effect
occurs, in the inner area, outer area or complete spotlight.
