Mode C -  Micro Set of Gel Position

This allows the setting of the gel position using 12 bit accuracy. This can be used to check

the Frame tables or set accurate positioning. The 12 bit accuracy allows the scroll to be

divided into 4096 steps. These levels are used to set frame by frame positions and for

the ultra-smooth slow crossfades using on-board speed control. The filter movement is

at a preset medium speed.

The levels are set in hexadecimal using the Address and Frames switches as  follows:

Address (0 - 255

DEC

)= Most significant 8 bits of level = Coarse

Frame (0 - F

HEX

)   = Least significant 4 bits of level = Fine

Selection of Position ADE

HEX

 (2782

DEC

)

Highest 8 bits = AD

HEX

= 173

DEC

= Address Setting

Lowest 4 bits = E

HEX

= Frames

Mode D - 100% Output for Loading/Trimming

Fades the output level to 100% irrespective of control input. This can be used when

loading and trimming the colour changers on the bench to avoid the need for a DMX

controller. The speed of the fade is controlled by the Frames selector as follows:

Frame Selector: Speed:

0 and 4-E Stop

1 Slow

2 and F Medium

3 Fast

Example: Slow fade to 100%
