Mapping
This channel splits the circular pattern of the pattern channel into different LED segments.
Pattern mode
Across mapping, pattern and pattern speed, pattern mode controls whether an effect is to be
faded, switched, static or runs via pixel flashes. Furthermore, a macro area helps you to program
effects easily.
Pattern / pattern speed
The pattern channel generates increasing, decreasing and random patterns that are controlled
via the speed channel. They are always circular if the mapping channel is not active. The pattern
mode channel determines the way in which this occurs.
Colour spread
This channel generates an indexable or continuous colour spread using the effect’s foreground
colour.
The pixel mode cross-fading channel can be used to switch or cross-fade between the internal
effect engine and base functions, and real LED control. If this channel sends DMX value 255,
the spotlight works at 100 % in individual LED control. The following channels for LED group
1-37 (Sparx 12 - 148 channels) or LED group 1-61 (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - 244 channels)
can be “attached” to any spotlight operation mode -> PERSONALITY -> PIXEL MODE and
are used to control the individual LEDs, always in the sequence red, green, blue, white. The
following illustrations show the arrangement of the LED groups when the spotlight is controlled
in a standing position with PAN/TILT values 127/60 and the display shows in the same direction
as the LEDs.
5.1.8 Pixel mode cross-fading (transition)
5.1.9 Special channels for Mode 4 with extended programming options
5.2 Artnet
The spotlight can be controlled via Artnet - ArtNET 4. To do this, set the Artnet address via the
menu item DMX / NET ADDR -> ARTNET ADDRESS and also select it via the menu item PER-
SONALITY -> DMX INPUT CONFIG -> NETWORK -> MODE -> ARTNET. In addition, define the
IP address of the spotlight via PERSONALITY -> DMX INPUT CONFIG -> NETWORK -> IP AD-
DRESS. Further details and setting options can be found on page 17.
