Shutter
(cont.)
Lamp Assisted Strobes (Accessed when the Control channel range = 134-137)
The shutter functions are the same as in the normal shutter function range.
Periodic strobes, random random and random synchronous strobes are lamp
assisted.
Lamp Functions. (Accessed when the Control channel range = 138-141)
For lamp boost effects, the lamp is boosted above the 700 Watt level for the
specified period of time. The lamp is also boosted during the lightning effects.
Before another boost or lightning effect can occur, the shutter channel must be
moved to either closed or open, or the control channel must be moved outside
the lamp function range.
Boost functions to black will boost the lamp for the specified time then close the
shutter. Boost functions to white will boost the lamp for the specified time, then
leave the shutter open with the lamp dimmed.
When lightning functions are selected, the dim channel scales the overall
brightness of the lightning stroke. Dim at 255 will yield maximum brightness.

Lamp Dimming only. (Accessed when the Control Channel range = 146-149)
The shutter functions are the same as the normal shutter function range.
Dimming is accomplished electronically, lowering the lamp power. Dimming will
not go to black. Strobes are mechanical and will go to black.
